Day 1
30 sec The Inevitable Harem (TIV)
Edit: so did some Uber eats, and at first I felt good and chill, then started to feel weird/needy/irritable, then in the last hour or so suddenly people started being nice, one guy complimented my shirt and a lady I dropped off to was very gracious/thankful when I complimented her Halloween themed nails.
Edit: I haven’t been doing the “walk up and say hi to attractive women thing” as much, but I kinda do it to everyone now automatically, like if I cross eyes with anyone I pass I’ll nod/smile/say hi. Maybe I should try to continue though, just walking up and doing it with women I’m attracted to, not even because I want to that badly, but just to follow through on it. I haven’t smoked weed in a while, maybe two weeks. Ever since drinking these teas (1/4-1/2 a teaspoon of He Shou Wu, Cordyceps, Nettle Root, and Polyrhachis Ant everyday) I just don’t really have the urge. I seem to get a lot of girls staring/looking/glancing at me, not every girl, but at least a few everyday. As I’ve said in an earlier post, I think it happens so much I’ve become used to it and no longer even journal about it. That and flirtatious energy from girls I interact with, whether I’m buying coffee or picking up/dropping off for Uber Eats. I guess I get frustrated when these things don’t happen, as in I’m not around any girls or any situation to have it happen.
Anyway, the key was to get over “approach anxiety” which I wanted to do for 2 months (I started around Sept. 17). I can smile and say hi when I walk by a girl no problem, but actually walking up and saying hi, that’s something I haven’t been doing (or maybe I have a few times but forgot/didn’t journal it).
Aside from that, today was strange, it was a mix of recon/neediness/irascibility/feeling invisible/lowly and positive good vibe encounters. I think what distinguishes recon from general negative feelings is recon feels like nothing would make it better, like you just have to endure it until it stops or you have an epiphany or something positive/relating to your goals occurs/snaps you out of it etc.
I have a slight urge to sub-hop, which is an indication of recon, therefore I will stick to this custom for at least 2 cycles.
