So as mentioned in the previous post, I am done with Stage 1. Overall, I did it for around 450 hours, that's 14 hours a day on average, ranging from 9 to 20 hours a day. I started slow and gradually added the hours towards the end. My goal was to do around 12 hours a day on average. At work, I was using the trickling stream track and the silent track while asleep. Overall, I've spent around 200 hours with the masked track and 250 with the silent.
Changes I've noticed.
Changes I've noticed.
- At the beginning, I was very optimistic and excited to have finally started on something that I was contemplating for a good month. This lasted for about two weeks.
- During that same time, I was getting a bit irritated at normal stupid stuff that happens at the office on a daily basis, which wouldn't have bothered me before. This lasted for about two weeks as well.
- I've been having a new level of attraction towards women. I started getting attracted to some girls that I even wouldn't notice previously. Also, attraction is way stronger towards some girls that I would previously be attracted to already.
- I already was a regular gym goer, but now I'm going 4-5 days a week, instead of the previous 3.
- I started getting interested in the colours that would suit my hair, eyes, and skin. This link is a good guide for those who are interested. I'm a "Deep Autumn" and funnily enough, the shirts that I prefer over others have their colours in that list.
- Some people at the gym that would previously just walk by started smiling at me and saying hi. Same happened with a couple of total strangers on the street.
- Towards the end, I started feeling some waves of confidence while walking on the street and some intense sense of euphoria and kindness. Unfortunately, these are gone now, because of the resistance and immense sadness I'm experiencing in Stage 2 so far. I'll write about that in the next post.
- Dreams are more vivid than usual and whenever I try to find some interpretations online, I get something like suppressed feelings or anger, suppressed sexuality, and experiencing anxiety in life. Also, the same dreams are usually interpreted differently as starting a new stage in life and experiencing changes. Some of the dreams were being attacked by a tiger and a snake, being a sniper in China (I've never been there), and being a soldier during the WWII.
- I've also started and finished reading "The Unchained Man: The Alpha Male 2.0" by Caleb Jones (aka Blackdragon). It's a very good book that every man should read. Very concise and covers lots of life areas. However, it gave me a sense of sadness, sometimes very strong, because of realizing of how far I am at life compared to the one that he's describing in there. I hope I gather the guts to start making the changes at some point and I surely hope that AM6 will help me towards that.
- As far as I can remember, this was it overall. Not too much, but that's not expected from this stage anyway.
