Yeah you’re probably correct. As much as I was against microloops for so long it now seems like in order for things to work thirty second loops is what I have to do.
Not sure why it feels like by doing a less things will take forever but there’s nothing I can do
If I had to give an analogy.
Have you ever been in a position where someone rattled off a task list to you or instructions and you only caught a small piece of it? Then you have to ask them to repeat themselves or go more slowly or worse you nod and pretend you got the instructions but didn’t (this is me, I’ve done this)
Same deal with the subs I think. A lot of that info is flying right over your head and then you have to doubleback which makes more work just trying to parse the instructions vs actually carrying them out. Better to build a small foundation of internal understanding of HOW to execute the sub and build off that. Cuz really these are new ideas, beliefs, mindsets, it makes a lot of sense why we won’t grasp it the first time around or second and even moreso why it’s different for everyone. Some people have that foundational knowledge or intuitive understanding to build off the sub and others don’t and have to construct it first.
I appreciate the analogy. I get it. It just feels like I always have to be patient no matter what. I have almost accepted that I probably shouldn’t run anything other than Love Bomb until my self worth and self love improve dramatically. Even if that takes months or years. I honestly don’t know what else to do other than follow the advice given by everyone else.
Stick with one title for as long as possible. That means I have to fight the impulse to switch subs or add a title when an update or whatever comes. I want it to be worth it.
I honestly feel a couple of the biggest things I want to accomplish with LB is to stop comparing my life to others. What people do for them and what they’re able to do while I seem to endlessly struggle with no clear way out at this time
So many people have said on here that self love is the foundation of everything. I hope they’re correct .
Found this just now on Reddit. After reading it a few times I think I can work on being patient
You always struck me as one of the ones on here looking to improve himself no matter what and your posts are a testament to that and I fully believe you will conquer whatever it is you feel is holding you back.
Trust yourself James, you got this
Rooting for you bud
Peace
Back to running one thirty second loop every other day. I’m not going to even think about increasing the time at all over the next couple of cycles. To me it’s a sign that I have a lot to work through which isn’t really surprising given my past.
I never thought that learning to love myself would be so difficult or time consuming
James be strong keep your chin up brother and stay with LB !! you make these community proud.
Each time @James stand in front of the mirror and read these affirmations every morning,
Or I could just do what Kamal Ravikant recommended in "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It " and just say " I love myself " all day .
This is my goal with Love Bomb
Fascinating read
Still not feeling the best after dropping down to thirty second loops. Feeling really anxious all week. I’m not going to run anything for the next couple of days and see how I feel. I’m not sure what else to do. Thirty seconds is the lowest that we can go and still get results? Is that correct @SaintSovereign @AnswerGroup
Can I ask when you took a washout and how long it lasted? I only came to realize I had been low key overloaded for a long time when I took a long washout for months. For me it took more than a month for my mind to begin empty and two months to feel completely refreshed. The difference was day and night.
Maybe take more rest days for now to relax instead of cramming more listening into the mind?
I haven’t done a washout in a while. Probably a good idea. I will take one over the next week. Not run anything until at least a week from tomorrow
Third day of my wash out. Busy week for me. The end of the week anyway. Finally having cataract surgery on my right eye Thursday. Then I have a post op appointment on Friday. So by next weekend I can be seeing out of both eyes again. I probably have to wait until late June or into July to get glasses and get everything going so I can see clearly.
Fourth day of the washout. Actually excited about my eye surgery coming this week. I really want to get back to coding but its been a bit of a slog because I sometimes miss often or don’t notice things I probably would with clear vision. I’m still going to make a ton of mistakes but that’s part of the learning process.
I’ve been watching a few tutorials on YouTube and picked up some things I’m excited to work on
You are amazing James! Not many people in your age do I know that want to change something so big as themselves. The most are content in which whatever they are. You are a ligthouse for me. Give hope, zhat You are never to late to change if you really want 
Thank you so much for that
Day five of my washout. Feeling a bit anxious today but I know it’s because of my eye surgery coming up Thursday. Hoping everything goes well.
