I personally struggle with low physical energy and bouts of depression. I’m sure that if wasn’t the case, UMS would have worked much better for me. And I’m aware subs are not magic. What I would realistically expect from subs is a change in core beliefs, and luck and success finding you way more often
I'm on my second cycle of UMSv2 and on Stage 4.
In my experience it's doing things that are sometimes undetectable. It almost seems to be rewiring me from the ground up.
Shannon gave the analogy of it building a staircase one step at a time. But it's doing much more than building one step at a time. Using that analogy, it's building multiple staircases simultaneously and attempting to establish links between those staircases. It's developing a primary path to UMS. But it's also developing a network of avenues to ensure success. That requires time and energy. I'd like the time and energy issue to be overcome, but there are probably limits to what can be done. Personally, I don't think three cycles is adequate for what UMSv2 is trying to accomplish. I believe it could take 6, 9, 12, or beyond depending on what the ultimate goal is.
The biggest benefit I've experienced from UMSv2 is that it has has emboldened and empowered me more than any other sub I've ever run. I feel like I'm at the beginning stages of a state of being where I can do anything as long as I'm willing to apply focused energy toward it. Of course, the downside is that there has to be energy to expend. The upside is that the self-imposed limitations are falling away, one by one. Instead of seeing walls and obstacles, I'm beginning to see paths. I say "beginning" because there's still a lot of work to be done. But I see what's happening with the sub.
The other thing UMSv2 did was lead me to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It helped me to bridge the gap between things that might be considered mystical (by some) and action. I had some "ah-ha" moments where things clicked for me. I mention the book because it seems that UMSv2 is trying to do something similar (i.e. help define your goals, determine a path, and get you off your ass). In fact, the book touched on a few things that I had already learned through UMSv2, so the book helped to reinforce those things.
Also, I got a promotion. It isn't all peaches and roses, but it's a step on the staircase and it has reignited a level of passion in me that I haven't experienced in a very long time. (This passion is something that's at the heart of "Think and Grow Rich", btw.) Meanwhile, the links between staircases are forming. It can't be coincidence.
Anyway, sorry for being so long-winded here. I just thought I'd offer some thoughts as to what I've seen through my own use. My progress hasn't always been obvious in the moment. I usually notice it after the fact and at that point, there seems to be a compounding effect where I see multiple instances of small things happening. I believe that this compounding effect will create a chain reaction of other compounding effects if enough focused energy and accompanying action are applied for long enough. I really believe that's the key.
In any case, I wish you the best man. I know the journey can be rough at times.
