Section 1. Entroduction
Why brother Journaling? Really why?
There’s are so many reasons I’ve decided to write this Journal, I’ll just mention a few though, one of my major reasons is the unfulfilled dream I have always had of acquiring the ability to freeze frame my thoughts in time as a way of understanding myself better and knowing specifically how different events, emotions, ideas and newly formed beliefs affect me and others around me, in both positive and negative ways;
It seems people tend to forget where they have come from after their have been in a new place, state or position for a certain period of time.
This journal will counter act that human predicament and keep me in a positive, momentous and grateful state, as I have noticed from other people’s journals here that the feeling of quitting should be expected at some points in the programs that push you to change by facing your demons with nothing but an intention to overcome.
I wonder how many have actually quit on their “journeys to destiny”, I am soon to find out how encouraging it is to look back on your progress and know you still have miles to go but you gaining valuable skills and experience you’ll need when you get “there”, where ever “there” is.
A Shocking Truth
I few months ago I attended an Allen Carr’s EasyWay Clinic to stop smoking and drinking, it cost me about £500 but it was worth every penny because within a few hours I was free of a condition I had been struggling with for a long time.
The presenter instructed the people in the group including me to write down our experiences with smoking right after the 6 hour “brainwashing” session had ended so we don’t forget in a few months why we stopped smoking and get hooked into the trap again.
I am about to read it again, the last time was when I wrote it, here it goes, expect an emotional tone to my writing after, I don’t know what to anticipate;
Life as a smoker, Excerpts:
{I hate it to the core of my being, the feelings of depression, self-hate, low energy levels and mild levels of paranoia.....
The first time I smoked I wanted to be like my older brothers, I saw them doing it, didn’t know what the big deal was about after trying it the first time....... didn’t never want to do it again though …………
……..With that every cig made me feel useless, drained my mental energy, clouded my mind and killed my motivation……..
……..contributing to my sleeping problems and negative thoughts replaying in my head all day and night…..
……. that feeling of insecurity, that something is wrong, that deep fear of doing out and been around people and encouraging me to drink to counter act the negative feelings and be social …………………..
I really hated it, I hated myself, hate the way I felt, it felt like I was destined to feel that way for ever, trapped….. the self-conscious thoughts, “I smell”, “my teeth”, “I must hide” ……
The low points of asking (I really wrote begging) people of cigs or having withdraw so bad I could pick up bugs…… the unworthiness ……}
I don’t really know if I should be happy I stopped smoking now or p*ssed off at all those people that took my hard earned money in exchange for that poison that did nothing for my but evil.
If there was one thing that I fully understand and appreciate after those sessions is that saying, not sure of the exact wording but it was something like “the World changes the instance the change the way you look upon the World”, you have to experience it to fully appreciate it .
I had felt like I would never change anything for the better in my life because I could not change my smoking habit, the day I changed it I felt like I could change everything in my life for the better; everything, now no stone shall go un-turned.
We all travelers in the seas of time
So this is my Journey, I will be sharing my inner most thoughts and emotions, my darkest secrets, my hopes and dreams, and in exchange your feedback will add to my awareness and perception of life as well as increasing my points of view.
I will share the resources I have found effective in achieving my ultimate goal and give progress reports, be ready to give input on your own philosophies and methods as I would appreciate as many golden nuggets of truth I can mine from this rich resource.
The reason I am posting my journal here is because I plan to use Shannon’s subs as a foundation of what I am creating and everything else as bricks (experiences), plank (information), concrete (change methodologies) and cement (positivity and faith to hold it all together) , if you are wondering who will be the people who are doing to build this house on this foundation of rock?, well that will be “you” reading this and everyone else that is a “part of my life”.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it
“Know Thy Self” or think you do
Another reason for writing this journal is because Tony Buzan a leading expert on learning and geniuses recommends it and suggests all genius of all time have done it in one shape or form. Albert Einstein's unpublished diaries and travel journals, Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks, am sure I could make a list if pressed to do so, anyway.
Tony seems to think that the human brain processes information differently when thoughts and ideas are frequency written down, creating a pattern.
Correct me if am wrong or is my memory is misleading me but in this case it would mean that the more I define my changes the better I will become at noticing when I do change and the main influencer/s of these changes right?
I guess time will tell, and although it would be nice to be a genius I’ll just have to settle with the increased intrapersonal intelligence of Knowing of Thine Self better.
"Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories." - Sun Tzu
I think this was the product where he spoke about it - Genius Formua by Tony Buzan, it also list many qualities and habits that can increase any ones control of their mind and thus they life, I will be revising it in my journey at some point.
The OMG!!! Moment
At 18 days away from competing Stage 1 of Alpha male and 32 days of Balance your brain hemispheres I had a moment when I realised I was doing what I had never done before.
Long story short I am starting a ecommerce business with a partner of mine and I am actually doing a lot of work that I have been dreading and insecure about my ability to do competently, I have been getting consultants to do some stuff and putting my name on it (watch the movie “Jobs” lol, I know, I know:angel
but all of a sudden don’t feel as intimidated about the tasks anymore and I am doing a better job than the consultants, oddly enough. So I thought to myself OMG!!! And experienced that moment. The OMG!!! Moment
It’s amazing and there more in store.
The introduction at the ending – Entroduction?
Hi guys am Dee, I’ve been using subliminal recordings for a few years, I even used to make my own and my experiments have proved to me that they do work, and also that they seem to be more effective in my voice rather than that of another person, seems like my sub-mind owns the difference and acts on my own commands or suggestions faster than it normally would.
But Shannon’s stuff has lots of letters and numbers at the end of them, that stand for a lot of fancy words, that do things I don’t even understand yet, but they supposed to make the programs do its job more effectively so am game. ;-)
Anyway on with the intro, I received a download link for the Alpha Male 5 Program in my inbox and I tried it for a few days, I then didn’t like the fact I didn’t pay for it so I stopped using it and tried the free ASC for about a week as a better test of Shannon’s stuff and noticed a change in my posture especially when I listened to it on my daily walks
Then I thought to myself why do this for 3 months when I could be on stage 3 of AM5, plus ASC was a 5G type B and could not be used with anything else while AM5 is 4G and could be used with other products that could help me with my business venture.
Then I remembered one post Shannon recommended another program to someone to be used in stage two on AM5.
I bought the AM5 and Balance your brain hemispheres and I’ve been just “Zen’in it” by expected to change a lot by not expecting to change at all, “to go slow and go far” if you will, if that makes any sense?
I will create a personally profile and post it in this tread soon, then I will review it after each 6 Stage program is compete. Am looking to do AM5, WM3, AM6, SM3 (in no particular order) in conjunction with other self-development work.
Looking forward to your warm welcome
Again, Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it
Dee
