Shannon's Journal

If you're not using more than two at a time, you're still technically following the rules. Using Happiness And Joy will take some of the edge off, but that edge is part of getting where you are going. Going from beta to alpha you need to get upset enough to stop letting people walk on you, take advantage of you, etc. and that's why I haven't completely removed what some are calling the "jerk syndrome". It's not being a jerk to assert yourself and define your new boundaries. You have to step into new shoes, and learn how to do that. Being happy and full of joy will negate that, and thus likely neuter your alpha training. if you use H&J before stage 3.

If you're referring to a different thing than I am, I'd have to understand better what you are referring to.

Yep. After reading it I agree totally and it is something i've been experiencing and feeling more powerful for it. I'm happy I have finally been able to tell some idiots who I don't want to listen to and have them abuse me what I think. I know it will smooth out and it's only been to people that have been pushing it and i've always wanted to say something to.

I will write more in my journal about it.

I am actually quite fond of the "Jerk Syndrome." This has made my life much more better. For example: I was trying to watch TV, and my friend comes in blabbing up a storm (I did not even acknowledge their presence lol). I told her to either be quiet and watch it with me or leave and I'll talk to her later. I enjoy and participate in what I wish without any unwanted distractions. You can look at this any way you want. Pick the more empowering option and go on with life is my suggestion.

I want Sex Magnet pretty bad right now lol. I wish I could buy it the day it comes out and have the Groundhogs Day effect. That way I could finish Alpha Male 2011 and Sex Magnet in one "true" day
