Day 8: no listening.
I woke up after 8 hours, thinking and feeling like I was up for the day. But I was able to go back to sleep for a full 10 hours.
I’m currently experience heightened mood- like I would say this has to be some kind of LB bloom already. It also is right in line with Sanguine starting to kick in also. I’m feeling really good in my feels. My shin/ankle area is ever so slightly sore, so that has me thinking it must’ve been some kind of strain/pull that I experienced a few days ago, it was so painful for just a few moments though.
I can’t wait until my physical body catches up with this feeling good stuff and gets on the same level again. I was doing some jumping rope and had no problems until I tweaked my back and had to stop my normal workout routine. I’m still coming back. Doing a 6 week program that’s focused on the core and relieving back pain. It’ll stay in my routine from here on out probably as a warmup. I’m on week 5 and was feeling good again. Knees weren’t sore, back was feeling okay. So then I got a strain quickly going up stairs and two days later when I got up fast out of bed. That’s when I decided it’s Paragon time.
For whatever reason my body doesn’t seem to be happy if I take more than a week off, it’s like I used to get sore from not working out. So I’m looking to find that proper balance in training, like I gotta get it fine tuned to where I know I can work out with like jumping athletic for so long before I need to ease off and switch to the core training baseline stuff. I was always kind of going off intuition and would take a week off working out every now and then, but just found that my body didn’t seem to be as resilient as it once was. I also ended up pushing off a physical title for a few years, like paragon or Spartan Apex because I wanted to really get through a lot of the inner healing work first.
I’m thinking that removing from LB from my stack has been actually a good thing so far. At least in terms of the load. I never felt like I was overloaded but it seems like 3 subs at 15 mins might not be ideal. So 2 at 15 with Paragon at 3 mins every listening day seems to help processing speed up a bit more. Could also be why I never seemed to notice big things from LB.
When i get back to normal workouts in a month or so, my plan is to do what I used to think was the easy warm up stuff. That’s gonna be more of my main workout. I found that doing this core program, my stamina when I work my job has increased and I haven’t even been able to do any cardio or walking. I do want to start training as thought I’m a hiker. I can hopefully do that for many years to come. Not only that but walking on inclines and sometimes unpredictable conditions means I’d have to have balance, coordination, strength, stamina/endurance, cardio, agility, all things that will carry over into every day life better than just trying to get as strong as possible with the basic weightlifting/bodybuilding exercises.
Paragon is a title I kept putting off and I think it’s pretty necessary. Which got me thinking that another title I’ve been putting off for so long is Heartsong.
I do feel like Sanguine was the right title for me above Love Bomb. I’ve only been on Sanguine for 2 cycles, currently on my 3rd cycle ( I gotta double check that) with it. If anything Sanguine was the title for me to run before Love Bomb, probably.
So for now it seems Sanguine is still my number 1 title of all time, that’s like the title I’d never remove from my stack. Khan Black seems like another title I just won’t ever get off of either. So that leaves me with one slot that is my whatever seems to fit my most immediate goals. Right now it became pain relief, physical healing, physical recovery. So I think my stack might be set for certainly the next 4 cycles.
The Heartsong report that has me most intrigued is someone who doesn’t appear to be using to find their partner. It sounds like it’s working wonders in ways that I would’ve expected from Love Bomb. I held off because I am not looking for my soulmate or anything, but from that latest report it has me thinking that I was ignoring my inner guide and doing what I thought intellectually was best, Love Bomb. I’m sure it benefited me, but I think Heartsong will click better than LB. Sanguine seems to be the title clicking for me. I’m definitely staying put on this stack for the rest of the year though.
I just looked over the Love Bomb copy. What I’d say most came through for me with my time on Love Bomb was maybe the internal strength. In my self assessment I wouldn’t say that I was able to bring to life the objectives. From my short time on the new Sanguine, it seems that Sanguine is one of the true foundational titles for me personally. After spending sufficient time on Sanguine I think my next go around with Love Bomb would go much better, but I plan to test out Heartsong before I’d give Love Bomb another spin. I also feel like I gained more from Primal as well and any internal strength was aided and brought out by that title. Could be that I have some unseen block, or LB just doesn’t gel with my makeup the way I thought it would.
When I was on LBFH there was a neighbor lady who was moving out. I’d never spoken to her but as she was moving out and I was just leaving or something. She commented to someone that was helping she said to the guy, can you feel love coming from him? something like that, the guy stopped and looked at me and said yea. So I don’t think I could spend that much time with Love Bomb and have no real results, I just think maybe to me they’re more subtle changes and maybe I’ll get more of that bloom effect.
