A human bean's journal

Stiff shoulder. Need to work on posture.

After suffering the stiff shoulder for a day and half, ran Paragon 3m45s. Much better after half an hour.

The usual result for KB3.

Some slight mood lift, and mild reversal of my wariness of strangers developed a year ago.

Performance feedback from bosses went well.

Country having elections in a week’s time. My area’s been heavily gerrymandered though, and the candidates are eh. :confused:

Intrusive thoughts on overdrive, like worrying about the bus suddenly flipping into the bus stop etc. Having difficulty stopping these.

Some disappointing setback last night. Thinking about it today morning, I’m more stoic about it than when I received similar news last month. May be resignation, but I’ll also attribute this to Alchemist 2.

Not sure if placebo, but logged a similar experience before, along the lines of eating whatever your body needs possibly clearing recon.

A lot of small frustrations today, on top of struggling to process some new public code.

Looking around a bit at posted customs, not comprehensively but it seems like there hasn’t been one with a Synergy module and one of its focuses?

Whole day spent on observing the mudslinging in local elections. Doesn’t help with faith in humanity.

Taking another washout to sync with May.

Out of my scope, but the past month I’ve been having fear, anger and frustration following local and global news.

Honestly I know Alchemist 2’s working because I can feel its mitigating effect. But office shenanigans this week, so having the brim-of-the-pot feeling.

Guess I should cut the doomscrolling after local elections, and stop absorbing things I can’t do anything about. But it feels like turning a blind eye to things as well.

Recon or twisted result lol.

Revisiting the schools of thought about paradise from within, don’t look at the 3d, detachment etc. Unfortunately my interpretation is that the art of happiness is to lower standards, accept that the outside world is a cesspool, and live within the delusions my mind can come up with. Love Big Brother and Feel Good Inc. :relieved: Sounds like a mental road to becoming a NEET.

As I write this out, emotionally I’m feeling chill like my first Alchemist 2 run but mentally it’s like I’m on DRR/Love Bomb. Bizarre.

Enjoyed reading your journal. How much overall progress would you say you’ve since starting and any key lessons you feel you’ve learned?
