I've been back to the gym 3 times now and I can feel my strength and flexibility returning. Exercising regularly makes you feel alive in a way that you just don't otherwise. Not working out for 6 weeks after my surgery made me feel like less of a human being. Diet and exercise really does colour life for the better. #endrant
I declined an invitation to go out tonight because doing so would have left me with 4 x 1.5 hours of listening to make up for.
I remain committed to putting in 12 hours a day during my second run of AM6, but I'm starting to have a problem with what that commitment entails. 8 hours of US while I sleep? Easy. 4 hours of masked during the day? Not so much. I have to plan for 4 waking hours of listening each day. That means I'm home for at least 4 hours each day. Often I'm planning around my work schedule, and 2-3 days a week, around my gym schedule. I really don't do much besides work, gym, and subs.
One of the things I want to change about my life is to go out and socialize more. I would say it's one of the biggest things I need to work on in terms of my self-development. I used to be a home body because of low self-esteem. I'm not supremely confident yet, and I still have personal inhibitions (which I will go into detail about in a future post) but I'm feeling caged under this roof.
In short, my life revolves around subs, and has for the better part of a year. As cool as it would have been to run AM6 three times consecutively, I cannot happily run another 6 stage sub at 12 hours a day after this run. I need a break—not from all subs, just from 6 stage programs.
Catman made a great comparison between 6 stage programs and single stage programs in terms of listening time and effectiveness. 6 stage programs contain so much information overall and per stage, that a high number of listening hours is required, especially because you only have 32 days to assimilate each stage. Often, a second run of the whole program is required.
Single stage programs on the other hand are less dense and more direct. You should listen for a minimum of 90 days, but you can run these programs indefinitely. Obviously, 12 hours a day will produce results faster, but it's not necessary. You're dealing with one script—one message, so to speak. Listening to a single stage for 6 months at 8 hours a day is going to yield results. You have all that time to assimilate the message.
So in the interest of my sanity and self-development, I am going to run a single stage program after this run of AM6. The top contenders right now are ASC (of which 6G might be a thing when I'm ready) and OPE.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
