Yeah, 32 days it is. This was already my second run with the first Stage of the AM, and even though I'm still not where I was a few weeks ago, I think that the normalizing process should be complete by now. I'm still having bouts of anxiety and self doubt, but I do notice an underlying positive sense underneath which wasn't there before, and it's only going to be a matter of time when I get back where I was, whether I would continue to listen to the first stage of AM or not.
If I still have a lot of negative self-talk in a week or so I'll add Love and Appreciate Yourself to the mix (2xAM 1xLAY). But rather not of course.
Doing twice the time that you've missed is also suggested, so I hope your little interval doesn't tend to bring up any old habits. Even though you didn't stop using AM, did you notice a surge of effects in that week? A few times I noticed that the effects of a sub were amplified whenever I stopped using it.
On a side note for whoever is reading; If you haven't seen the movie Revolver, go see it. It's a bit flawed, but it should be an interesting viewing since it gives some nice insights regarding ego (and letting go of outcome). Watched it few years ago, helped me with seeing things more as it is, instead of just good and bad, got remembered of it today as part of my refresher course. Do watch the extended version though (hint: bluelady).
