One thing I’ve noticed since about 2 weeks into DR ST1, I’ve been thinking a lot about adding a sub to support my career. I think about it every day, and it’s only growing stronger each day. I thought it was reconciliation at first, but recon goes away after a few days, but this idea has only gotten stronger. I now believe it’s a subconscious message pushing me in a direction that will help me. That’s why I created a custom specifically for this.

Rest days… fewer loops…
Nah, it’s a transient thing. It’ll pass. Just had 3 days rest anyway.
Back on DR today. Feeling fine, in fact didn’t feel much at all, which surprised me a bit given last week. We’ll see how I feel in the morning.
Spent the day shoveling snow again. I’m tired and achy, but feel good. Like after a heavy workout. We’re expecting nearly another foot this week. 
Still not much of an appetite, I don’t think I’ll bother cooking dinner. I just baked a fresh loaf of bread though, seeded wholemeal, so I’ll probably just cut a large chunk of that while it’s still warm and dip it in EV olive oil and balsamic with a few herbs. Love it.

this sounds awesome 
Now I’m hungry!
Felling a little down this morning, but it’s mild. It lacks the teeth of last week’s experience. Will see how the rest of the week goes but will consider switching to ST3 next week.
So far I don’t think DR has actually changed me, but I do feel it’s given me a good subconscious cleaning out, which should make things easier and more effective when I switch to more “constructive” subs. That was really the point anyway, removing some of the internal noise. I don’t feel I need to be “fixed” or anything like that.

It may be more subtle for you. Preparing internal and external conditions to facilitate your evolution.

It’s one of my favorite things, partly because of the memories it evokes of my visits to Greece, sitting outside at a taverna with my Greek cousins, sipping tsipouro and snacking on mezze, including fresh bread dipped in EVOO/balsamic, feta, kalamata olives, grilled octopus, dolmades, loukaniko and other foods. They’re treasured memories.
Some of the best memories are from the mountain village my father was born in, Palaios Panteleimonas. It’s a truly beautiful place. The first pic is from Google, the second (crappy) pic is one of mine.

Not experiencing much today, aside from a mild annoyance at my work. The worst of ST2 appears to be behind me. Current plan is to go to ST3 on Monday.
Had a very noticeable state shift this afternoon. As I mentioned above I was mildly annoyed with work, then later become frustrated over an issue with my company, and I was sure it would bug me for hours. But about half an hour later I had a sudden, strong shift towards a happy and joyful state. I’m not really sure what happened, but I’m still feeling it. Perhaps some effect from DR kicked in. Maybe I was simply able to release the negative emotions more easily.

Since running DR, negative emotions seem to disappear faster.

As the upheaval of ST2 calms down, I’m starting to see some the benefits. Apart from what I posted yesterday, I also seem more open and less likely to anger. No doubt more benefits will become apparent in time.
I can totally see the value in dedicating an extended period to each stage, e.g. 3 months. Personally I can’t do that right now, I need to focus on some other things soon, so I’m sticking with my original plan and moving to ST3 on Monday, and later to ST4 at lower loops.
I would like to do another dedicated run through DR at a later time though. Maybe Jan next year? It’s not a bad way to start the year, dedicating the first 3 months to ST1-3. Each run through should go deeper and clear out more than the last. We’ll see, that’s still a long way away.

Feeling good today. Calm and positive. Looks like 4 weeks per stage is the sweet spot for me, at least for the surface issues. The shift is undeniable.
How would you describe the results of the shift?
A distinct reduction in inner tension, resulting in a calmer, happier, less reactive state of mind. I’m also approaching the tedious grunt work I’m doing at the moment with less annoyance and resistance, and even a (small) degree of positivity.

This is a significant change!
Yeah, I’m happy with it. It’s pretty much what I was looking for. I called it “internal noise” in a post above, which is basically what it is to me.
