I’m starting a 21 day cycle of Genesis and DR:LD. I dont have any grand goals at this time but I am starting a morning routine inspired by The 5am Club. I’m only going to listen to DR:LD every second listening session to help reduce reconciliation. I’ve had a much better outlook on life since listening to these two subs and I’m excited to continue. I’ll keep track of listening days and progress here.

Thanks @Extraordinaire
Day 1
Genesis - 15 mins
I woke extra early this morning to complete my morning routine. I’m now more tired than usual but I should adjust over the coming weeks. I was able to complete an important task today that has had me stressed out for sometime. I still need to wait for the outcome but the ball is at least no longer in my court so to speak, and for that I’m relieved. I took note of my communication skills today and did my best to listen and not cut people off in conversation. This has been a good start to the sub cycle although I should be feeling better after a good sleep

Day 2
I came down with a head cold which explains the tiredness. Not feeling the best but life goes on. I’m only working Thursday this week, so a good time to get sick, if there ever is one.
I so far spent the day doing admin work, updating bookwork, organising receipts, ordering equipment parts and chasing overdue accounts. The ‘task list of avoidance’ I recently created is reducing but still quite long.
Genesis definitely drives me and keeps me productive, I think primarily for relieving the underlying stress on my being. The productivity boost reminds me a little of the drive I experienced with Emperor v2 and v4 but without the frustration , anger and impatience that came with it.
I think too I realised I was reaching a point where my laziness and avoidance was going to destroy me financially. I know I’m going to have to chase more work this financial year to keep up with costs. It’s not a time to panic yet and beginning the process of sorting out an insurance issue yesterday was the biggest thing I needed to take control of to avoid the possibility of committing fraud, and to release the stress that comes with that possibility.
I’m looking forward to running two loops tomorrow of Genesis and DR:LD. Hopefully I recover fast from this cold, I’m sitting out in the sun right now trying to sweat it out.

Day 3
Genesis - 15 minutes
DR:LD - 15 minutes
I had a lot more mental clarity today. I was able to back off on the productivity and focus more on self-care until I know I’m 100% better. I had plenty of sunshine, ate healthy and had my hair cut. I dressed better than I normally would for a day at home because I’m feeling more confident in myself.
I know little of the True Sell subliminal, having not read the description yet, but I had a moment today where I thought I should buy it sometime in the future as a way to sell myself (confidence) for the purpose of gaining more business (money). There might be better subliminal options but I wonder if Genesis has started to guide me. I won’t switch anytime soon though, especially while this sub combination is having a positive effect.

Day 4
I had many dreams from DR:LD and woke feeling anxious and a little tense in the lower jaw. My throat is sore but the cold I’ve had, for the most part, has cleared up. I might cut back loops to 5 minutes depending how I feel tomorrow. Now the day has started, I’m feeling good - the anxiety was related to a contemplation of whether or not I can break through my limits or if I’ll continue to fail, as my parents would expect. I can see how they instilled a hesitancy within me but it’s also not their fault - because I too have been a coward.
I decided yesterday that in the near future I will reset my gaming laptop and gift it to my daughter. I’ll use only my phone and a surface go, so I can focus more on business. I setup the surface go last night and it’s actually not a bad little machine. A little slow compared to what I’m used to but the touch screen is nice to use. I have one end of lease yard clean-up job to do today, the only job all week. Increasing my income is a priority, even if I fear facing that fact. I think the subs are helping me take action to clear the way, which will inevitably lead to this outcome, or at the least, produce the best possible conditions for it to occur.
I need to avoid the panicked urge to fix everything at once because it causes me to freak out and stall. Instead; taking steady action, doing my best, and enjoying doing what I do, I believe is the best way forward.

Could be genesis nudging you into that direction

Yeah, that’s what I think happened because I wasn’t really considering other subs and the thought randomly came to mind. Afterwards, I read through the sub description and it sounded perfect for me.

Day 5
Genesis - 15 minutes
I’m feeling good and ran a full loop.
I’ve been working on business marketing stuff this week. I bought a domain and hosting, and now I have email and a website. I need to learn how to build a word press website that will only need to be a basic landing site with things like services provided, contact information and hopefully a contact form. I mostly wanted a domain for email because I’ve been designing decals for my work truck that has both my phone number and email address. Using a Gmail address always looks cheap for business, so I want things to look as professional as possible.
Most of the tasks left on the ‘list of avoidance’ are large multistage ones that will take time to complete. It’s been nice to get all the small stuff out of the way but still plenty left to do. I do feel some sense of overwhelm as I have a lot going on and I’ve been taking massive action. I feel like I need to release those fears and in a sense throw caution to the wind and give things a red hot go.

Day 6
I cut back on carbohydrates a considerable amount yesterday. It felt like I slept better last night, much more soundly.
My libido has not been great since running these two subs but I have also been whacking it to porn once a day, which does not help. I broke that cycle yesterday, not having the energy for it.
Now I’m feeling back to full health from a cold and from a back strain, I’m going to start a workout and weight loss plan next week.
I’ve been studying WordPress tutorials and practicing building the website. It’s not as hard as I imagined but the time consuming part will be creating graphics. I wonder if AI can do graphics creation because I’ve had chat AI write all the content for the site with a few edits from myself. The content reads well, much better than I can write.

Day 7
Genesis - 15 minutes
DR:LD - 15 minutes
I had a bad fear and self doubt arise yesterday and today. I saw my parents yesterday and stupidly talked about changes I was making in my life and improvements to my business. The response was as usual cold and doubtful, as if I’d already failed despite the fact I’m moving on a much better path. Absolute assholes, I won’t ever talk to them about myself like this again, it only brings me down.
I ended up whacking it to porn last night, trying to feel better but it didn’t help a whole lot. Today, I thought about not doing the loops but thankfully I pushed through because after listening I felt uplifted. I did some research on better options to track income, expenses, quotes, invoices and receipts. Later today, after I do food shopping for the fam, I’ll get back into the WordPress tutorials. I found a few logo and banner creation sites yesterday, so I know I can get the graphics design work done too, and I’ll also be able to customise my vehicle decals, rather than use a template.
Screw all those self doubts and feelings of wanting to give up and hide.
Onwards and upwards

Hey there, It takes real strength to push through those moments of self-doubt and rise above the negativity around you.
Not everyone deserves a front-row seat to your success. Keep those achievements close to your heart and share them selectively with those who genuinely support and uplift you.
Keep focusing on those positive changes you’re making in your life and business. Keep shining bright and don’t let anything hold you back! Onwards and upwards indeed!

Day 8
I’m still feeling stirred up emotionally. I think DR:LD hits me harder than Genesis.
I’m moving forward, albeit at a slower pace. I worked 3 hours this morning and I plan to lift some weights this afternoon. I finished creating a logo and banner for my business, so I can use it on social media and the website. It appears graphic design is not my strength, but I got it done and it looks good. I also dread getting back into the WordPress course, I just want it setup and looking professional. If I ever upgrade my graphics and website, I’ll be outsourcing those jobs. I’m going to research Facebook ads and other ways I can gain more work. I have a few ideas and there are some good apps for lead generation but I don’t want to get ripped off, so I’ll need to do my research.
I think I had some rough dreams last night but unlike when I first listened to Genesis, I no longer remember them. They are happening though and I think a part of me tries to avoid them by going to bed late, even when I’m tired.
I’m at a weird phase at the moment where a part of me wants to retract back into the safety of mediocrity, while another part of me wants to do better in life for myself and my family. I want to be healthy and a good role model. I want my kids to be proud of me. I’m not greedy with money but I want my business to be successful for my self-esteem and to free myself from debt as soon as possible. I can have a go and succeed, or I can have a go and fail - but if I don’t have a go, then I can only fail.

Have you used microloops? If so, how many minutes was your microloop?
1 Like
I’ve tried 3 and 5 minute loops and I prefer 15 minutes because one, I don’t have to worry about keeping an eye on the track timer and two I did not notice much difference either way in regards to reconciliation between 3, 5 and 15 minute loops. I don’t see the subs at fault for reconciliation, I think they help push me through and past it because I seem to have ‘reconciliation’ whether I listen to subs or not

Day 9
Genesis - 15 minutes
I weighed myself this morning and it was not good. Scale said 101.8kg which is about 224.4lbs for my imperial friends here. I should be about 85kg or 187lbs at my healthiest.
This was bad enough for me to decide to make losing weight a priority. I’ll write here more of my diet and weight updates each day to help keep it a priority. I do a fair amount of physical activity so I know it’s my diet that needs the adjustment.
I’m feeling exceptionally tired and lazy today. I have 3 tasks to complete.
- a tree pruning and green waste removal job 1-2 hours.
- service plate compactor and make sure it’s running well for an upcoming job.
- put new speed feed head on backup line trimmer.
Time to get moving and go get it done

Eating a balanced diet is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Are you doing any cardio? It’s necessary for shedding pounds. You need to get your heart pumping.

The plan is to eat lunch and dinner only. Lunch will normally be bread, avocado, cheese and salt / pepper, maybe some tomato, or like salad sandwiches. Dinner will usually be meat, potatoes with butter / cheese and peas.
I have a barbell, dumbbells, a treadmill and a mountain bike. I was looking at some bodybuilding workouts but I don’t know if I have the energy or motivation for it.
The only exercise I do is at work and sometimes I kick the ball around at the oval with the kids. I’m happy to hear any suggestions too.
