I’ve recommended and used it a lot in a catharsis sense. One of the most reputable and scientifically validated forms of journaling for health/happiness is freewriting about specific memories that still have a negative impact on your life, or that once did, and I’ve taken that to just freewriting about anything that i’m consciously working on improving, which has been helpful. So i was thrilled that your recommendation was the same practice, but to apply it to creative endeavours.

Emotions Unfettered
Becoming one of my all time favorite modules.
It’s really changing my inner world. I’m becoming more insightful into what drove things I’ve done.
This is actually an INCREDIBLE results enhancer module, as all the people I’ve seen get the best results with subs have incredible emotional awareness (alongside prior experience using other modalitites to shift and improve their beliefs/mindsets.)
And all the people who get the worst results I’ve seen are people who don’t have an understanding of their internal world and are too focused on external results.
Love this module!
I think it’s also stacking beautifully with Synergy: I am Atman to get these results.
EDIT: Add On
Another emotions unfettered result that I noticed. Subtle but beautiful. I was more aware than usual of my emotions shifting, AS they were shifting, over the course of two hours. I was playing chess (blitz) for quite a while and I watched and felt myself go from happy, to focused, to stressed, to outright livid and on tilt. I’ve never witnessed my emotions that much while playing chess, I’m usually more tuned out of my experience. I also noticed at points in the games (earlier on,) where I was tense and was able to breathe and calm myself back down so that I could be hyperfocused.

Glad I could reinforce it for you, bro. 
A technique I used to use wad give myself a 1 sentence prompt for a free write for creative writing.
“Science Fiction”
“Fantasy”
“Who’s the girl in the Cafe”
Stuff like that, loose, open, free, easy to play with.

I’ll share briefly about what I’m writing about, by the way, is digital minimalism and health related to reversing the damage that comes from internet addictions.
One thing that came up for me was I was only thinking in terms of “video creation” etc etc. I lost the art of writing for the sake of communicating one amazing idea to one amazing person. That’s kind of my philosophy for writing.
Today I had this idea that on top of free writing, I can do “free-walking” where I bring my phone and go for a walk to just think on ideas to write and stuff. But the reason I’d bring my phone is if I have a good idea, pull out my camera and start filming right then and there.
I get all my best ideas when walking, then i have to jot them down and run home to write - maybe this way, with freewalking, i can create right as inspiration strikes
will update

That’s a great idea. 
Synergy: Breath Of The Storms
Been on a washout for a few days. Didn’t plan it. Was just deep in recon and forgot to listen.
It was upsetting, at first, that the first Synergy: Breath Of The Storms result that I got wasn’t better habits, but worse habits!
But then I realized the recon was actually a result. Let me explain.
What’s the first phase of grief? Denial. And what Synergy: Breath Of The Storms forced me to do was come face-to-face with exactly how bad my habits are generally (**module: eye of the storm), and how bad they can get when I get stressed (module: foundation).
So, even though it felt like recon, it was actually a painful result, and that result was “eliminating denial.”
Reading the rest of the phases, I think that by the time my recon had subsised (the washout helped) I had cycled through all five phases of grief.
At first, I was denying my lack of habits/foundations - but that was cleared up by them getting 10x worse. Then, I was angry and wanted to change it really bad (and wanting to change is always the first step, which is impossible if you’re in denial.)
Then I tried “bargaining” with myself… “Okay Ouroboros you’re going to use a habit tracker and you’re going to go into grind mode and you’re going to be super consistent and if you do then you’ll have lots of xyz and if you don’t then you’ll hate yourself.”
Then that didn’t work and I got into depression.
Then I came out of that, and started to just accept, my habits suck. From there, with that acceptance, my habits have become better.
I recognized that rather than have perfect habits aka continue to be a perfectionist, that I just need to start with the most important habits, which I identified as daily writing.
I’ve been doing the freewriting @praisetheurdtree tree recommended and it’s been amazing. I kill two birds with one habit. I write more, and I wake up with less effort, because I just pull out a notebook when I’m still groggy and half-asleep, and then start writing. It’s an effortless habit because my ideation-brain is most active first thing in the morning, and I know from experience that if I wait too long in bed, my ideation/writing-brain changes into a stressed/to-do-list brain.
Another “effortless” habit I’ve seemed to develop is exercising with weights in the morning. I’ve complained a few times on the forum about how much I love explosive exercise, but hate weight training, and that causes me to be inconsistent. I prefer Sumo, Martial Arts, Running, Climbing, and just generally using my body functionally, but those either are classes that I can’t do any time I want, or easily injure me (running.)
But I have a morning habit of going outside onto the patio, getting the sun in my eyes, and doing some light stretches. I just wanted to up the intensity.
And voila! I had an epiphany… I can just bring the weights outside.

Dominion + You Are Not Alone Manifestation
I had set the intention to find someone to write in-person with, and less than a day after that, someone told me they were looking for someone to write with in-person.
Crazy, because I never even mentioned it, and yet I got the writing partner I wanted so fast.
Leader Of Men
I’ve turned down many offers to lead men’s groups before, but I found an interesting opportunity to lead an ADHD Men’s Group, which I’m feeling really called by. This is in line with my own journey of understanding my ADHD, my goal of developing as a leader, and my goal of building businesses helping tech addicted people become productive, healthy, and happy. ADHD people are 3x more likely to be addicted to technology than the average person.
Emotions Unfettered + Synergy: I AM ATMAN
I realized the reframe that I need to be more successful at managing my time. "I am busy."
I need to start telling myself I’m busy.
When I quit my job to start my business, I quit my job so that I could have more free time. But free time has connotations. A lack of schedule, an ability to do whatever, whenever.
What I need to do now is switch that thinking into telling myself “I am busy” so that I’m packing my day with activity and things I want to be doing.
On a similar note, I’ve realized how toxic my attachment to “work life balance” is. I tell myself I shouldn’t work after 9 or 10pm, but then use that as justification to “relax” by watching YouTube or playing video games/online chess.
I would be better rested, experience more positive emotion, and get more done in my life if I just stopped listening to “work life balance” and worked whenever I wanted to work. I have no problem playing chess from 9pm - 3am… why should I have a problem starting work or writing at 9pm and stopping when I get tired? I’d probably get tired at 11pm, not 3am, which would be healthier, but even if I worked till 3am, that’s still a hell of a lot better than writing 'till 3.
I don’t completely understand the Synergy: I AM ATMAN modules, but reading them again, it’s clear that they’re working, and are especially great stacked with Emotions Unfettered.

I think you and I respond kinda similar to subs, just based on reading your stuff and our interactions.
I’ve noticed that with the new tech, I often get what I call “reversals.” And I suspect that it’s related to the NSE because it didn’t happen the way it does now on previous versions of ZP.
Where I temporarily get results that are the opposite of what I’m meant to get, and then after time, introspection, and journaling, it comes through the way it ought too.
I have no idea how or why this happens, but it’s happened to me on several subs this year already.
If I’m right, which is unlikely 
then relax through it, and it’ll turn back around soon enough.
The best theory I have is that the reversals are related to deeply ingrained structures so you temporarily get worse, to shine a massively bright light on the issue. Once the issue is made clear to you, and it’s in your awareness, then the subconcious can do something about it.
I’ve noticed this on Limitless and TB this cycle. All my bad cognitive habits appeared to get far worse, motivation tanked, and I’ve been lazy as hell for pretty much the whole of the last two cycles that I’ve been on it, but slowly it’s starting to clear, those bad mental habits are loosening, and motivation is returning.
Upon reflection, it’s clear to me that as much as I’ve achieved academically, it’s no where near my potential, and I’ve actually always doubted myself intellectually. I just never let myself see it.
Grain of salt with all this as always, I’m just a dude trying to figure it all out.

Yeah, NSE does have a much heavier “healing” component, in a way, so it can be painful at first. That could be the explanation.

We’re on exactly the same page here.
I am way more motivated to work on my habits now that I see how bad things are when I don’t have them.
You’re right.
I get you here. It’s funny how reading you say this makes me think “oh reduce exposure.” which is exactly advice I would have benefited from as well. I was only listening to 30s-60s of my custom, but because it felt so smooth and was my only title, i was sometimes doing that 2-3 days in a row, going against listening guidelines.

Damn this is exactly it. I experienced this same thing on both QL St2 and Emperor. A very heightened awareness of the things you don’t like and want to change, I was almost going crazy.
Meanwhile, TB seems to be almost too smooth for me.

(Synergy: I AM ATMAN) + Emotions Unfettered results
I realize that ALL my emotions unfettered results must be at least slightly enhanced by Synergy: I AM ATMAN, and that’s an understatement. So if I get results from one, I’ll assume it was enhanced by the other, from now on.
For those who don’t know, emotions unfettered is about understanding, using, and expressing your emotions more clearly. I added it to my custom because I want to communicate my emotions better AND I want to use them to further my life, so it was perfect.
I AM ATMAN is kinda confusing to me, but it’s essentially a “limiting beliefs” eliminator. Upon reading and writing about each module, I also think of it as a true self module.
I’m only starting to understand it now that I’m feeling the results of it first hand.
I AM ATMAN modules (writing this out in my own words to help myself understand it better
The order they explain the modules in is as follows: Atman, then Unlimiter, then I AM, then FEBRUUS, and finally ARES, as the module that makes everything else in I AM ATMAN more effective.
But I think the way to understand this module is as follows.
Atman: Come face-to-face with your perceived limitations and boundaries (sales page: on the path to your true self), move past them. Ask yourself, “why would I keep these limits when I could be limitless?”
I AM: Similar to Khan ST1, breaks down anything holding you back from your “True Self”
FEBRUUS: Purify all your limitations, negative memories, traumas, etc, using FEBRUUS’s unique mechanism of showing you your limitations from a wide variety of unique angles, giving you fresh perspectives.
(The first step is coming face to face with your self-imposed limitations, negative beliefs, and “excuses” for being anything less than limitless. This combo will start to dissolve them, broadly, like a full-spectrum antiobiotic, or like Khan ST1’s emphasis on breaking down “all of you”. These 3 modules also all emphasize discovering your “true self” in a way. FEBRUUS mentions “the most successful, attractive, version of you” and the other 2 say “true self” directly. So, step 1 of Synergy: I AM ATMAN is questioning and dissolving your limitations stopping you from being your most successful, true, and congruent self, broadly.)
Unlimiter: Remove limits, especially regarding learning new skills.
ARES: Remove shame, fear, guilt, doubt. Makes sure nothing can resist the I AM ATMAN synergy module. Laser precision on sticky emotions and beliefs.
(The second step, from there, is Unlimiter/ARES lasering in on exactly what’s holding you back and eliminating it with precision. Learning skills is how to change who you are, and letting go of shame/guilt/fear/doubt is how you allow yourself to learn the skills to change who you are.)
So now that I understand it, here’s what I have to say.
ARES:
- I’ve definitely done a better job of communicating (e.f.) and addressing shame, guilt, fear, and doubt. For the first time in 6 months, I started having self-doubt about whether I’m even making the right decision. As discussed with @praisetheurdtree this is a “reversal” that’s actually positive, in the long run.
I AM/FEBRUUS/Atman:
- One thing that’s come up for me recently is a deeper understanding of something profound. “I AM… an addict.” It’s true. Wish it wasn’t, but, denying that has never helped me. I’ve always used positive language around it… "I succeed most (at business/sales) when i’m completely obsessed with it. But I never use the reverse langauge, like “workaholic” or “obsessive/addictive thought patterns regarding interests.”
- I recently have started to shift and reframe my language to accepting that in a positive way. Controlling what I’m addicted to. The new mantra I’ve been telling myself “i’m addicted to writing” and that’s been extremely helpful.
- I realized I don’t want to stop being addicted, I just want to be addicted to the things that give me joy in life.
- I am happiest when my life is so simple that all I have to do is focus immensely on the things that are most important. That could be considered "addict behavior if it’s drugs or something harmful, workaholic behavior, if it’s meaningless money-chasing like sales, but if it’s based in purpose and mission it’s considered the most important trait a hard working man can have.
And all of this is coming together to help me discover my “true self”

Same for me. My intuition says that this version of Khan doesn’t even start until ST2. In the old days st1 was the filter…but I can just feel that TB is the easy part. Lol.

I ran ST1 a while ago and had a similar experience. I asked support if I should re-run ST1 before running ST2,
I ran khan ZP st1 for a cycle and khan NSE-ZP for a full cycle so it’s probably fine to just run ST2 but I wanted to ask cuz it’s not an immediate plan anyways

Not an exact “result” but just wanted to share how pleased I am to switch from obsessively trying to memorize chessable lines, to just reading them and trying to UNDERSTAND them in that moment, guess what the next line will be, etc.
The result now that I think about it is I find myself more easily accessing flow in a variety of ways. Writing. Chess. Exercise. Socializing. My presence and enjoyment of things has been steadily increasing.

Ran a little bit of WB a week or two ago and wow that sh*t works fast. Was just doing it to have more people of both genders talk to me at parties. I feel mature enough to handle WB right now. But I’ve had two women ask me to come over/hang out in my neighborhood. And my partner all of a sudden has been starting to think of having an open relationship via a ‘sexual liberation.’ She’s still rejecting the idea of an open relationship, but we never talked about it, and now all of a sudden she’s saying "well i’ve learned x is true about myself and y is true about myself but that doesn’t mean Z aka that i want an open relationship.’
The way she was talking about it made it seem like she was trying to convince herself, not me LOL

Careful with the WB lol. You may have more maturity to handle it, but I got into quite a bit of trouble recently after a couple loops… The challenge, is that it doesn’t just get women attracted to you, in my experience it manifests your exact specific type, like your dream version of a partner in looks, personality, hobbies, etc who at the same time is very open and receptive to you. I’m not going to go to into detail, but would just reccomend proceeding here with caution.

I forgot I have “Love Without Attachment” in the custom.
Honestly, over the last two months, I’ve had doubts - love without attachment was included in the custom both to help me love deeper if I stay AND help me let go, if necessary.
But the recon I’ve been getting from this module is unprecented. If I don’t cut back on the loops I’m going to destroy my relationship.
I thought perhaps that it was some delayed response to a few WB loops that was causing me this stress, but no, I’m in recon hell from the healing in that module.
Still, very glad it’s in the custom, just gotta slow down and let MDFY:Freedom do it’s work.
Will listen to Emperor & RM:UWX this cycle, possibly with LE microloops

Support said that it was best to run ST1 again before progressing to the next stage, btw. ST2 is more effective if it comes immediately after ST1
