Yesterday was the last day of Stage 6. Let's see what I can think of to say about Alpha Male.
For a large portion of my life, I didn't think I was capable of much of anything. I had no respect for myself and thus had a hard time dealing with other people who I saw as mostly superior to me. It made me angry, frustrated, and rather unpleasant to be around at times.
For the past couple of years, I've been trying to change that. I've read self-esteem books, books on dealing with people, and books on how to be a better man. The trigger for this was, no surprise, a woman. She showed an interest in me. It was something I had never really considered possible, especially not from someone like her. I started this journey because she saw something worthwhile in me, and I wanted to find out what it was.
Then early this year, I hit a another major turning point. I was asked to play the role of Jesus in the show "Godspell." It's a role that requires charisma, leadership, authority, strength, compassion, and every other positive quality you can think of. And I somehow pulled it off. I had no idea that I could be capable of being that strong of a person. I was desperate to find a way to bring those qualities out of myself on an everyday basis.
Somehow, call it providence, I came across the Alpha Male program in a search. As I read the page, I knew, that this was what I had been looking for. So, I spent the money and got the ultrasonic version.
I followed the directions and started listening at night and when I was at home. I made sure to give myself a few hours off from exposure each day.
I wish I had taken notes or written a journal during the entire experience. Then I could provide better feedback. I'll do my best with what I can remember, though.
Stages 1 and 2 were very subtle for me. I felt better, but I didn't know why. I just know that I was thinking more positively about myself.
Stages 3-5 started with some rough days after each switch. Only one or two, but I was a bit irritable and felt pent up for no obvious reason. I'm guessing that there was some resistance, but after it passed, I felt even better. These are the stages when I noticed more obvious things. I started smiling more. I would initiate conversations with people instead of waiting for them to talk to me. I was more easily able to adjust more quickly when things didn't go the way I expected.
The funniest and most blatantly obvious changes to me were the sudden adjustments in posture. And I do mean sudden. One day I just couldn't get comfortable unless I was standing or sitting straight. That only intensified the farther I got into the program. It made me laugh because I had actively been trying to have better posture for a couple of years but would always have trouble remembering to do it. With this, I didn't have a choice. Now, I can't slouch without actively trying to. It's great!
Stage 6 really is a coat of polish. This last month has been better and better each day in regards to the changes I saw taking place.
The best way I can describe this program is that it took the best aspects of me, amplified them, and made me capable of expressing them. I'm more open and caring towards others. I'm much more social than I've ever been. I have more confidence in my own capabilities than I ever thought possible. I finally have the courage to start pursuing things that I want in life instead of just wishing they would fall into my lap.
I wish that this program had existed ten years ago. My life would be very different. But now I can look forward to seeing how things are ten years from now because of it.
Shannon, I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for this program. You have created something that will positively affect me for the rest of my life. Thank you.
