Day 4: no listening

No upheavals today. Got an extra hour of sleep in finally.

Maybe that all part of the process day a couple days ago, was just my system adjusting to listening to GLM and Primal on the same day.

Checking out the differences between Wanted and Wanted: Dream Boy, I think I’m still planning for Wanted first.

Having one of those lulls where my online friends aren’t replying again. No big deal. Maybe I just want that dopamine hit from messaging back and forth anyway.

Saturday used to be my anxiety day. We’d have company coming and going, lots of activity. But today my mind is mostly quiet. I’m definitely happy with that. No whirlwinds to toss me around for a nice change.

Man, I might have to put Paragon back in my stack. My upper calf pain that I thought was a calf knot. It seems like I may have a cyst there. It’s soft so that’s good, but it might be what’s been causing my pain. It’s been fine just felt it a couple times tonight, but after I was doing some foam rolling I thought that seemed to take care of it. So now I gotta go get that checked out on myself.

Day 5: 30s Paragon

Yea so most likely it’s what is called a baker’s cyst. A cyst on the backside of the knee. I’m not sure how this affects my workout plans. No rebounding on the trampoline I guess is the only thing.

Health comes first so I’ll finish out this cycle with Paragon and GLM only. Then I’ll be looking at Limit Destroyer again.

Day 6: No listening

I want to keep a three title stack. I guess I’ll just keep at Paragon now but in a three title stack everything has a bit more breathing room.

Knees and elbows need some love yet. I guess I’ll restart the exercise bike routine. Seems to be great for pumping blood through the knees and legs.

Feeling a bit light today. Almost in touch with humor. That’s why I decided to just move forward with GLM,Primal, and now Paragon. The GLM and Primal is too good, and I guess I need that Paragon for the health stuff.

I had surgery on my knee about 30 years ago. So I’d hope to avoid the arthritis. Feeling a few aches and pains. I’m 43 so yea I guess I have to go back to the plan where I always have a health or fitness oriented title in the stack. So more than likely this could be my 2026 stack already.

It also opens the door to a GLM/Primal custom. But I don’t want to make it too dense. So I’m not too motivated to get one at this time.

I guess I want to leave the door open for other options as well. If I do a custom there’s no changing anything for 12 cycles. If I keep the titles as is, I could swap out one. Say if I feel I’d like to test out PS for a cycle, I could swap out NE Primal. Wanted may have to wait until next year. But I am happy with my current stack. We’ll see how Paragon plays, but I think it’s there for four cycles. Then I could test out Beast Unleashed. Just not sure how my workout plans will go now. I feel like with workouts I’ve been stuck to foundations and basics, and my plan was to be doing more athletic movements. Now that’s on hold again.

I gotta say I love feeling good again. That optimism and joy in Primal and GLM really gels with me. I think that’s most natural to me at my best. With the masculinity and alpha in there that will balance everything out. I can have fun but I think people won’t get the misguided idea that love and fun means that they can tear me down or knock me off my horse so to speak. If I have to I’ll put them in their place if need be, or whatever else that may look like in the moment.

I needed new shoes. Well I guess I wanted them. I need a pair of brown leather shoes. I just have this black pair of walking shoes I wear. I work and don’t go out much yet. Haven’t bought shoes in a couple years. I went to work Sunday and they had a big gift basket for me. This year I got 100 gift card for the blue walmart. Since their website is kinda like amazon now. I got some name brand shoes that I was looking at. So I paid like 15 bucks for 2 pair thanks to the gift card. I was looking at spending 90 bucks for one pair on amazon. Didn’t get the exact shoes I had my eye on but my shoe game will be taken care of for 2026.

No lucky wins this year. Found a penny and dimes here and there. But yea, feeling good and do my best to just rest and enjoy the rest of 2025. Take care of what needs to be done. And I’ll see what comes up for me in the next year. Kinda seems like keeping the body healthy and pain free has become a top concern once again. I been doing knees over toes workouts but it hasn’t been a miracle for me. It does seem to take awhile for me to progress as well. It would help if there were more background on the guys who put out the products and train them. I saw one guy took him years to get to where he is. The workout plans seem to progress faster than they should sometimes. So the thing is a person has to be in touch with their own wisdom and inner guidance as well. Just because this is the program, doesn’t mean it’s at the right pace and progressions for every single person. If you gotta go slower do that for sure. A few of my knee setbacks were from trying to progress too fast.

Had a little anxiety this evening. By then I’d forgotten I was having a great day, lol. So it’s not cut and dry that the day after my loops will be a down day. Today was mixed. Back to normal now.

30 seconds does seem to be effective though. For now it actually could be my sweet spot.

This cyst I was feeling the other night and yesterday must not have been very bad at all. Tonight I can’t really feel it. I’m still going to take it easier on the leg workout. Not sure if I’ll do full knees over toes stuff. Might just try isometrics instead. Like a wall sit or something. Well I guess I found it, it’s not too big and no pain. So yea, prolly just try out some isometrics as pre knees over toes work.

Day 7: 30s GLM & NE Primal

Woke up from a dream last night. I felt like it could’ve been a movie. At first the bad guys were bad guys. Then they were good guys. In the end they were bad guys again, lol. I don’t remember the details besides thinking that would be a movie.

Went for a very short drive today. I passed this chick taking out her garbage. Didn’t think she really noticed me. On the way back she was walking along the sidewalk. She was definitely checking me out. So my vibe made an impression. She might’ve been in her 20’s, more of that street culture vibe. Not a hooker or homeless, just the kind of street vibe, lol.

Had one of those times tonight, where it was like I was invisible to my normal group of friends. Online friends but we always go back and forth. I don’t think a single person replied to my comments except the livestreamer. She even read part way and just stopped and kept in the bubble with everyone else. haha! I take it as a good sign though. Things are once again shifting. And since generally most people stay where they are, that’s just one of the things that can happen. That’s why I still ride solo, and don’t feel down about it.

I also have those experiences with strangers that show me that things are changing for the better. Still not 100% neutral on the part about friends dropping away but it is what it is.

Lol, just got a friend request from a cousin out of the blue. Haven’t heard from her in like 20 years. We were never close or anything either. lol. Sometimes that weirds me out when that kinda thing happens. Like I got my own world, like everybody else, but it’s not like everybody else. I stay low key.

Also in regards to luck, I found another $30 gift card in this food basket I was given at work. There was a thank you card from the beautiful office ladies. The card had the $100 gift card. And it took a whole day for me to get curious about this basket so I was looking at it and found the gift card. Also may have a spendy car repair that I may have to have done soon. I forgot the other stuff. But seemed to be a mix of pluses and minuses.

lol. Just got done with work. The mental weather was going through the women it didn’t work out with. Then the next stuff was some of the pos’s I worked with. Moved through it. A slight melancholy now that I’m home. So I seem to be experiencing some light healing effects.

Day 8: No Listening

So far in this cycle, I’m happy with my stack. Paragon is a new addition and hasn’t been in too long. But between NE Primal and GLM, I’m very happy.

They even seem to be providing some light healing. Definitely don’t feel the need for a healing title. I think it would be too much at this time anyway.

I took someone to their appt. Ended up waiting in my car for like an hour. Didn’t see too many people. A couple nice ladies. I really liked one, she was older than me. With her mom I think and it just wasn’t the right situation to talk to her. I’m pretty sure I have some limiting stories/beliefs around dating older women. lol. I’ve always like the older ladies, now I’m approaching the age where it wouldn’t be a big deal at all. But also the window is closing, soon I’ll be their age, lol. I mean not so soon but another story that makes me feel like I have a time limit. On the other hand they say live your life like you do have a time limit.

I saw another alright chick, she was checking me out but she had her small kid with her. I just felt like she was a little young. But maybe the same difference as the older woman, just on the younger side. lol. After awhile I decided to stand outside my car so the person could see me when they came out. Vehicles blocking and stuff, and full lot. But I didn’t get to see any ladies walk by to say hi to. Saw a couple nurses, but they were not vibing at all. A few people gave me the respectful head nods and acknowledgement though. That’s what I felt like people had some respect for me. Not fearful or anything just like yea, that’s a respectable man or something, lol.

Was feeling nice and good in my body. Like light like yea this feels good. But now that I’m home again, still got some aches and pains. I feel like it’s time to get back on foundation training again. My back/core routine to prevent those chiropractor visits. Since the athletic explosive movements are now on hold. Plus foundation seems like it ramps up the metabolism as well. Since interval training seems out of the question for now. Can’t do too intense of leg based cardio, so maybe I’ll find a good weight circuit workout I can do.

Saw a cool quote today: “If you see a flaw in someone, it’s not theirs.” - Abraham Hicks

There’s this woman who I used to really like and watch. Then I stopped watching her because the way she presents just creates resistance in me. My philosophy is basically, do what you enjoy, feel good, keep letting go of resistance. She’s a manifestation person. She’s all about no techniques. Don’t do anything to get anything we don’t want to be in that energy. Even though I’m not the action, action, action, guy either. To me the highest action is letting go. Like Ho’opono’pono, they constantly clear data so they can have a pure connection to the divine, the intelligence of all things. So they get those inspirations. Of course they act on them. It’s also like the sages say, at the low levels theres no choice. at the higher levels there’s choice. at the highest level there’s no choice. Because when you know what to do you do it. Sort of that whole zen type thing of when you sit, sit. When you drink water, drink water. If you’re sad be sad.

But what I was getting at was. It’s like anything else. If you enjoy it do it. Take an athlete for example. How many times have you heard them say they hate training. But they do it for the results of being the best. They may also visualize and do affirmations as well. I guess for me is yea the highest technique is to let go which is to drop the resistance and everything not in alignment. It’s about being free more than getting things. And the more free you get, the more everything that’s right for you, comes to you and happens. Goal or no goal. But say I’d use a goal or affirmation to bring up the non-alignment stuff. That’s why people say affirmations don’t work. Because they have beliefs and stuff that are not in alignment with their stated reality.

Or like listening to subs. Whatever is not in alignment comes up. And I either surrender or do a technique to discharge those feelings so they’re not running my life.

Day 9: 30s Paragon

I’m a bit deconditioned due to inconsistent workouts the last month. Just basic mobility and walking. Maybe a full workout once a week. I did my knee workout on Monday. But I skipped yesterday because I was sore. Today felt a little pain in that knee with the cyst. Nothing major. So yea, feeling like I’m back at square one. The foam rolling gives me a little isometric work for my upper body. Gotta hold the body up while I roll. Surprisingly that has me feeling good in my body. I just gotta start some circuit training since I can’t do intense cardio. Want to keep that stamina up.

Lol been hitting that number 17 all the time the last few days. Was also hitting 11:11 and that’s never been one for me.

I was feeling a little depressed tonight. Tired too. I hope I don’t require more sleep. I’m at 7 and after that I can get naps during the day.

So I did some letting go and tried to nap. Got to work finished an audiobook. Then I put on a podcast. It’s kind of a man dating type podcast. Mindset for dating and life kind of thing. I got into it and my spirits lifted. Perhaps Primal is helping me pick up on it more and get more insights, and I just get it a bit more. Seeing how I might apply it to my life and stuff. I’m listening to the last law of attraction book you’ll ever need. I’ve gone through it about 10 times. So I’m just repping it out. But I alternate with another book to give it more space and so I don’t get too bored, while I get more listens in of both.

Day 10: No listening

Got a 9 hour sleep night in. I can get one tonight too. But then due to schedules I gotta go back to 7 hours.

Feeling slightly lower again today. Got some aches and pains in the body. My feet have been sore lately. Time for some new insoles. Maybe the new shoes will be fine though. They might be arriving today.

Just started my warm up for the morning mobility. It stuck me that it might be a focus problem. If I’m not very present then I get distracted and tended to do other things instead of working out.

I got a cool insight from this video just now. She said don’t love people, that’s too complicated. You should try to understand people. I think for me, that’s a game changer. I loved people and only got hurt, and kind of backstabbed, and outcast, etc. But if I understand people, then I know how to operate with them. Perhaps through that understanding, a deeper love, one that isn’t trying to fix or change.

Being mindful during my movement really helps. Yesterday I was mindful with mobility and moving slow and really feeling what muscles were working. Today I can’t do it like that. Moving more quicker just to loosen up rather than really activate and feel those muscles. Still re-conditioning. I don’t expect to hit my reps on my leg exercises, but I figure it’s the end of the year. If I can hit 2 main workouts a week that will be good. No need to rush or push things.

I’m really big into footwear lately. Still been looking at a good pair of chukka boots for winter. I have an expensive pair that needs a resole. Just a plain black. $80 bucks to resole them or get a new pair in a fresh style? I think I gotta resole those old ones. They were the most expensive footwear that I’ve bought. $200 back when I was doing valet work in the winter. They look dressy enough for that red vest uniform, lol.

I’ve also been realizing it’s time to shave my beard. It doesn’t look good anymore. At a certain length I liked it but since it’s not a full filled in beard, it just doesn’t look good when it gets too long. Just not sure about going bare faced since it’s been so long. lol. It’ll grow back though. I think I’m more of a stubble guy anyway.

Been feeling like I have some inflammation in the body. I did some letting go on the foot pain. Hasn’t bothered me since. Surprisingly, I guess maybe it could be called placebo effect. Which is just the mind affecting the body. It used to be that everyone thought placebo meant something didn’t work. That’s why letting go or like some of these energy psychology techniques stay in my bag. Clear out those old stuck energies, beliefs, and that can have actual affect on one’s life. Clear out the limitations, and disharmony and automatically tap into the harmony and wisdom and that kind of thing.

Day 11: 30s GLM & NE Primal

Another 9 hours of sleep. Got the chores done to start the day. Feel like I’m still in catch up on sleep mode though. Like I could be getting in naps the rest of the year.

Edit: almost forgot that I was laughing in my sleep. Due to dreams. I don’t recall that happening for quite some time.

Started wearing my heavy neoprene knee supports. I was working out doing a full squat and my good knee was hurting. Put on the supports and finished the workout, no pain. Found some new exercises to do for my knees as well. Stuff that will probably just be part of mobility warm up daily.

Day 12: no listening

Was a low vibe day for me. Was feeling depressed when I got to work. Almost felt like I was on the verge of tears, then I realized I’m on Primal! lol. Lightened it up a bit. But it seemed like more processing, dumping, changing the old beliefs. I also had a little insight that it’s never me that changes. It’s just the beliefs. Our true selves never change, that which is beyond all beliefs etc.

I drove to get some food on my break. Just got the low consciousness vibes from people. Like how some people say our personality starts to show on our faces as we age. Saw a few of those angry types. Mostly NPC types though. Not from a judgemental place, just that’s what I saw today anyway.

I was thinking there gotta be those good people around. Maybe not a whole city, but just more individuals I guess, maybe even pockets of people I could vibe with. I dunno.

Day 13: 30s Paragon

Feeling a whole lot lighter so far today. Even in tough with that inner love a bit. I guess it could also be that stoic joy.

I got a new 3x weekly isometric routine. It’s focused on tendon health. Doesn’t take much time. It’s stretch position calf raise holds. The routine had spanish squat holds, but I’m doing wall sits. An external rotator wall hold for the rotator cuffs. Iso pushup hold at the bottom position where the elbow is most flexed. And a dead hang, which isn’t a limp hang I found out. You’re activating the lats while you hold. I always thought a dead hang was a limp hold.

Also got an unexpected Christmas card with $100. So I’m taking my boots over to get resoled. The new shoes are great but I don’t trust the plastic feeling soles for outdoor winter. Great for inside shoes though. The boots are definitely outside winter or rain wear. Just need that traction back.

Seems like my inner world is improving. Yet my body is breaking down. I was walking around no pain today. Even had to do a full squat to pick some stuff up off the floor. Then I go to do mobility and got some pains in my good knee. So I guess I’m sticking with the knee supports again. I was moving around snappy and quick but with no impact. So I’m just going to have to take it slow with the isometrics and wear the supports even for mobility.

My back has been feeling a little sore today too. It could be due to my nightly traction though. I started that up for the last week or two. Sometimes my back gets sore from that so I can’t tell. But since I’ve been doing the traction I’m going to chalk it up to that. I’m not skipping the workout today though.

Also I think part of it could be that it’s been new shoe time for awhile. I gotta replace those insoles in my work shoes.

Now I’m in a predicament. Since I got 2 new pairs of shoes, but I don’t trust them for outside winter. I gotta get another pair. I was going to just replace my boots. I looked them over and they are pretty wore. So it’s worth a new pair. But the shoes I think I need are a good walking shoe. But also preferably something I can wear outside. So after all is said and done, I could end up with 3 new pairs of shoes, and 1 new pair of boots.

Day 14: No listening

Woke up about 3-4 times from dreams. The first 2 were nightmares. I woke up from the first one because I was kicking the bad guys. I might’ve almost got out of bed I think. Then the next one I was probably sleep talking.

Pretty intense night for me. I guess I worked through some fears or something.

Tried out my new shoes today. Just some last minute errands. Store trip and stuff. My shoes are not winter shoes. Would want to wear warmer socks. Support is fine, but not sure they’re all day shoes. More just a nicer shoe to run errands or even business casual. I decided to get a pair of athletic shoes for my daily drivers. They’ll be warmer and are the kind of shoes that will work if I’m on my feet all day. Got a pair of boots on the wish list. I’ll have to save for those.

Still a little stressed at times. I’m basically the caretaker for an elder family member. Just always making sure they’re okay and taking care of chores and stuff.

I was at the store earlier today. I was walking down this aisle to the end. And I stopped and almost had a collision but I stopped and let the lady walk by. She really smiled at me, I could have opened her with some small talk or some witty line. I didn’t say anything. She wasn’t my type. I saw this hot blonde chick who seemed a bit nervous. She didn’t not appear to vibe with me though so I ignored her, lol. Then I saw the other lady when I was leaving, and she lost all that shimmer that she had when we almost ran into each other. She probably thought I wasn’t into her so that was all gone. lol. We were just background characters in each others lives again, lol. Just something to take note of for myself. Just more data. I can see in retrospect how it might’ve been fun. I could definitely get those wins under my belt. But I’m in no hurry to notch up the headboard. Just always nice to see that I still have opportunities and could still have a little fun.

Still noticing that men have a feeling of respect for me. I saw some older guys and just had the sense that they had respect for me. It’s different than when they can’t look me in the eyes, lol. I haven’t gotten or noticed that lately. The respect is more on my radar than intimidation.

I’m only on 30 seconds as is. 4th cycle of GLM and 2nd of NE Primal. Haven’t had nights like those, but the only new thing is 30s of Paragon. I’ll stick with it.

As a kid I had plenty of nightmares and that kind of thing. So for me it’s not new. But not common anymore.

Day 15: 30s GLM & NE Primal

Woke up from a dream today. It was another bad guy situation. But I was able to walk away and go to a door to leave and that’s when I woke up. No fighting bad guys, lol. Definitely feel like perceptions are being changed for the better.

Also had another experience of a chick I thought was hot. I could see that it was all me creating that somehow. Like all that magic was me. Not that I was doing it consciously though.

Day 16: No listening
