8:45am - 3 mins of Wtp
8:45pm - 3 mins of Evolution
I forgot to mention that during this 2nd cycle, my listening pattern is dropping to two days a week instead of 3. Continuing to separate my titles with one in morning and one at night.
Having just listened to my 2nd loop of Wtp, I have to say the past two days have been nice regarding the introspection I do. Wtp seems to help with the Why of whatever I am analyzing or dissecting. I think it’s making reconciling beliefs quicker and easier, comparatively speaking between last cycle and now with Wtp added.
I think it’s probably the Blue Skies module aided by Joie de Vivre and Divine Self-Image, but my mood seems like it’s being held in homeostasis at all times. If I feel bad, sad or angry…the feelings don’t really change my state like they used to. It’s as if I can no longer spiral out into whatever I’m feeling, I’m kept at a balanced optimism oriented state. It’s interesting, I’m just always “okay” … even if I feel depressed, it doesn’t let it take control.
I had a coworker give me his cell # and write down two AA meetings he frequents. He knows I was a member as we’ve talked. I appreciate him reaching out and it’s definitely an inner circle type of manifestion from the subs. I’m not sure why I always reject things like this. I’ve been a loner so long, invitations and offers throw me off. A lot of times I think ppl do stuff like this out of pity but I’m probably projecting.
My “best friend” from HS invited me to his Bday party on the 14th and I haven’t responded, it’s weird that I feel agitated by it. I get the feeling that I’ve never really been appreciated and in the past I was such a people pleaser that I think he’s grown comfortable with me being his follower. I don’t drink, nor party or play card times or do any of the stupid shit average people do and I don’t know why but being invited just pissed me off, I don’t get it.
Ever since I got sober almost 9 years ago, I’ve lost the ability to be social and have fun. I just never put myself out there nor gave it much of a try. I stuck to myself mostly. Had a few girlfriends, indirect friends but it always ends, it’s just easier being alone. People don’t want to know the real you anyways, most ppl just use others for whatever they can get to satisfy themselves. At least I know that I am not a good person, I wish others would own it themselves and stop faking genuineness.
Still low key angry about all the usury I accept from rock bottom self esteem/worth. As a child my mother did a great job destroying my sense of identity, self worth and built a powerful self hatred within me. Decades later and it’s finally being addressed, this shit can be painful and oh so draining, while also dealing with everyday resistance from the world. I’m tired man…of so much, it’s hard to do anything but the bare minimum. I have thoughts of getting in shape, making my life better, pursuing random goals but by the time I get home from work it’s like every ounce of energy I had is gone. The resilience scripting is keeping me going each and everyday, I steadily continue forward but I have yet to experience anything above the minimum so far.
I really can’t complain, on the macro I’m doing good and am grateful for where I am. We all have problems but it could be worse.
On the micro, life seems like it sucks. But hey, without problems I’d be bored to death, so there’s that.
Questions to ponder this week …
Do I want friends and to socialize? Is it just working nights that’s affecting me so negatively
Are the things I’m currently pursuing or doing going to improve myself or are they just ways of filling a void?
How do I actively build self esteem, like what are the actionable steps. What does it look like.
