not sure if I’m in recon or just exhausted from work week. I think mixture of both
it’s been a very productive work week though.

Regeneration actually healed me from this perma-grind-no-rest-days type of thing. I’d usually be very agitated on my rest days, always pushing and trying to cram in more work/studying/whatever to move forward but during my Regeneration run, I realized that I am actually way more productive if I give myself a few rest days per week
I’m not thinking about work or doing any (unless enthusiasm is very high for it), just focusing on recovery, both physical and mental. Walks, reading books, immersing in target language more, etc.
Khan Black is an OP sub though, gives me so much energy to fuel my work and hobbies - and that’s just ST1 at 15s lol. Very curious about ST3 effects in the future

Having a bit of recon from ECC. Not sure what exactly is the issue that is being processed but the recon I get is the desire to change it
Nothing unmanageable and I’m having 2 rest days so I guess it will sort itself out.
In new instructions, it’s recommended to insert occasional rest days with 3 title stacks. I don’t really trust myself to figure out when it’s time to add a rest days and I also want subs to occupy as little of my conscious mental space as possible so I just decided to simplify it and use MWF schedule. Been using that since new instructions came out

actually thinking about skipping Monday as well and continuing from Wednesday. I’m doing a lot of hard things currently and I’m not sure if my nervous system is catching up well, so I better focus on integrating subs more, rather than listening more

yep, decided to skip Monday listening session. Still dealing with conscious recon*
*I’m going to use a differentiations for my own recon, doesn’t mean it’s universal, it just works for me specifically:
Conscious recon: consciously dealing with issues/fears/traumas/whatever. That means consciously contemplating my values, goals, ways to achieve them, etc., working through issues with logic
Visceral recon: for me it’s mostly related to exhaustion of nervous system, I think. Just feeling negative and exhausted, and can’t focus, and can’t pinpoint the issue that is being reconciled

Integration. Take a look at this – it’s very important (the section on integration):

thanks, just re-read it yesterday actually
Currently trying to develop some personal ways to aid integration because so far, the only things that have some effect are:
- sleep
- action taking
- long walks (strangely, workouts don’t help with it. I guess workouts are too strenuous for an already exhausted nervous system in my case. I’ll be returning to Regeneration once I achieve my goals with current stack)
- adding more rest days.
Currently experimenting with:
- digital minimalism and boredom
- image streaming

Best way is to take action toward the goals of your stack. That way, the results flow naturally in life and they integrate themselves. The things you listed are good methods as well.

I agree that it’s most important but for me there’s some sort of a delay between taking action and integrating the change
I’d say for me it doesn’t necessarily speed up processing itself or resolves recon in the moment. Action does re-affirm changes and improves results but the overall “feeling” of processing is there (though, there are exceptions. I’m not sure exactly why and how it works, but sometimes action does resolve recon for me, mostly doesn’t though)
When I take action (even if I know exactly what issue is being worked on and take the exact kind of action to solve it), I’m not feeling that recon is resolved immediately and that this heavy feeling is lifted. There’s still a chunk of processing going, and the most helpful thing for that is night sleep. In this case, action just provides more feedback/opens more pathways to manifest results, but doesn’t seem to affect the feeling of recon
walks are interesting though, during walk I feel amazing, recon reduces drastically, but when I go back home, recon is back lol

one more reason I’m taking it super slow with exposure is that one of the subs in my stack is the most future-oriented sub in the store lol
Tons of issues to work through, tons of systems to implement, tons of things to learn.
Due to the complexity of the goal and the timeframe of the subliminal, I think it’s going to be wise to stay at each exposure tier for much longer, because I think each exposure tier requires way more issues to be worked through compared to easier subs.

Interestingly enough, still no desire to listen. I wonder if I just encountered some big block and require more time for integration?
If the desire to listen doesn’t apper today, then so be it, taking an additional rest day. Maybe will even take this whole week off

saving this here, as that’s literally me 
(well, my stack*)

had my first listening session after this unplanned washout. 15s of ECC and RICH
Feeling processing and like my mental power is again mostly directed at that, rather than action and integration. Reduce duration?
At the same time, there’s a lot of conscious recon going on. Some hard questions are arising, and I need to face it and answer them, can’t just run away - it feels uncomfortable but necessary.
I remember this quote, and I think it’s even more applicable to ECC. At least, for me it is definitely the case

to expand on this recon a bit, ECC currently asks me “Why?”, rather than just helping achieving its objective
It also brings up a lot of trauma/negative feelings for me to process.

yesterday and today were extremely profound, I can see this huge blockage clearing
I feel like yesterday I actually had the most profound journaling session and was actually able to identify the issues
turns out the key was to not intellectualize the journal much, rather just literally turn off the mind and write lol
also I used my graphic tablet to do handwritten digital journal, I think it also contributed to this positive journaling experience. Typing just doesn’t seem to do the same trick somehow

This could also explain how going for walks resolves your recon. You may be one who processes emotions somatically, like myself. Can’t intellectualize the emotions, gotta release it through physical process. Grounding, eating a good meal, going for walks, clearing the mind.

hmm, I think you might be onto something… thank you, will have to experiment with it

stumbled upon this yesterday. I feel like it works well with ECC

I think I will do reduce duration to 10 sec for ECC because I notice a drop in energy for action taking at the moment. Gotta remember that this sub is very big lol
I did work through some blockages and gained a lot of clarity on what to do next, but still lacking the energy to actually start taking action.
Not like I’m not doing anything, I am quite productive, but I know I can do much more

ngl, it’s a hit or miss for me
Sometimes taking action doesn’t resolve recon, sometimes it does. But damn, do I love it when it does haha
That was the case today. Been having recon, with my usual symptoms - apathy. In the end, managed to force myself to do a bit of work and finish one of my small projects - basically just vibe coded an app that will simplify my life a little bit.
When I started work session, I realized that I pretty much finished it in previous work session and just needed to make a few tweaks and just start using it
Once I did, recon vanished.
