This is cool. As a sort of side benefit, I've definitely been sleeping better listening to ASC... is that because the ocean waves are soothing, or because the messages in the script are helping my mind settle down? Either way, I haven't been having to take melatonin to sleep like I normally do. That's pretty huge. Would like to see that continue.
One thing I've been noticing is that I've become more assertive, especially in the last few days. For instance, a good friend talks forever sometimes and brings up new topics of conversations when I've clearly told her that I need to get going, or need to be somewhere at a certain time. I've always just let her keep talking so I wouldn't hurt her feelings. The other day though, I didn't have any hesitation in interrupting her and telling her that I'd have to talk to her later. For some reason I have a hard time cutting people off, but sometimes you have to when they don't get that they're holding you up. I did it and it felt great. No guilt whatsoever, and she even apologized for going on and on.
