Elixir annoys me… because it’s so f*cking effective.

Day after day, it keeps showing me every problem I have, and it’s overwhelming. If I weren’t so hard-headed, I would’ve given up a long time ago. SC Subliminals are great, but now I have to fight the urge to fix all my problems at once.

My perfectionism is rising to the surface; I keep thinking about ā€œThe perfect planā€ to fix all my issues. But the more I think, the worse I feel.

ā€œI could start with QL st1 and Paragon to fix my mental health, then move onto DR or Regen with elixir. Or what if I made a custom with Elixir and Sanguine, and used modules to directly target my weaknesses such as Ares, attachment destroyer, Februus, Devine self-image, Eye of the storm, emotions unfettered, I Am, Remembrance etc. Or, I could just run Wanted with sex mastery and Elixir and by increasing my sexual confidence, I would feel so much better about myself. No, I should say F it and run DR. Wait… no, I should run Daredevil and Primal along with Elixir or perhaps that custom I was talking about. Then I could finally overcome my social fears, stop relying on alcohol to feel confident when going out, make more friends, and actually be confident with women.ā€

I’m telling you, this is what goes through my head all the time. And I almost think I’m relying on subs too much. Yes, choosing my next sub-cycle is essential… but what ACTIONS can I take? That’s where the real changes take place.

Lately, I’ve felt perpetually stuck. It’s like Groundhog Day. Everything is always the same, and it feels like I’m stuck in an invisible prison cell. And then suddenly I get lucky, and a night/ weekend like the one-two weeks ago happens:

And I’m reinvigorated once again, I surprise myself. ā€œWait, I can socialize. ā€œI am funny,ā€ ā€œWomen do find me attractive,ā€ ā€œI can make friends easily,ā€ and ā€œWhy do I keep doubting myself?ā€ How can I stop clinging to the past and finally get rid of this imposter syndrome? I’m not the man I used to be… but I keep clinging onto that old identity? Why?

So to conclude this entry, Elixir is kicking my @$$ :upside_down_face:

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

One thing is for sure; I’m running Wanted. It has a special place in my heart for very personal reasons…

Once upon a time, I was Wanted, and I didn’t even know it at the time. So many girls wanted me, and I could hardly believe it. I felt like an imposter, so I self-sabotaged. Then I went down a dark path of Addiction, self-isolation, and escapism. :pensive:

For a long time, I lost touch with that Wanted man I once was. I felt like a shadow of my former self. But… when I started running Wanted, I was reunited with my old, authentic, beautiful self. I began to feel like that man I once was. 🄲

I find it difficult to put into words. Wanted is so special to me in a way most probably wouldn’t think.

Wanted reunited me with my authentic self. That puzzle piece I was missing for so many years… Wanted helped me find.

I sabotaged so many friendships. I thought everyone who once loved me, hated me. Because of this, I started acting like it. I stopped talking to friends, I stopped acknowledging them, and I started acting like a total d*ck as a defense mechanism.

I don’t even know how to rectify these friendships. I guess all I can really do is forgive myself and start being my true self, the one everyone loved. This is why I want to run Daredevil.

I ruined my social life. Now I want to fix that.

Beneath my tough exterior is the biggest heart in the world. And I’m afraid to show it. I’m afraid it’ll make me appear weak and vulnerable. I have so much genuine love for people, and sadly some of them will never know it. I just wish they could understand.

You are healing big time :heart:

If you are ever making a custom, look up the module Path of Forgiveness.

Hey Mat, I would recommend staying with Stark and maybe dropping Wanted. Your creativity and the way you communicated is so eloquent and charming when you run Stark so I think it’s doing wonders for you. The reason why I recommend focusing solely on using Stark is because you will still get the attraction aspects of your life check out but you will also have the career aspect of your life moving forward as well as your social life (Friendship, etc.):slight_smile:

Wait, are you saying you notice a difference in my writing when I run Stark vs when I don’t? :thinking:

Yeah what I notice is when you run Stark your writing is much more creative and expressive in a good way (This could be really useful in a social aspect). When your running Wanted your more mysterious in your writing which is good for attracting girls but in a social aspect people might not understand it which will make it more difficult to have fun socially (In my experience and personal opinion).

Interesting observation, now I have to go back and read my old entries :joy:

Ironically enough this just played out in real life. A co worker was asking me about what car I planned on buying and I just lied and said ā€œidkā€. I said I’m going to go to the dealership and just choose. Which is a lie… I know exactly what I’m getting. Either a Charger or a Challenger.

But I realized that I don’t hold back because I’m trying to be mysterious. I come across as mysterious because I’m afraid to be myself. I hold back on exposing certain parts of my self out of fear of judgement, fear of standing out.

Everyone keeps saying ā€œBuy a Honda they’re reliableā€ and I just roll my eyes. IDGAF about that🤣

I want something cool and fast, if that means I gotta spunk a bit more money than so be it. When I’m on my death bed, will I regret having spent a few extra bucks on a cool car in my early 20’s? Is it going to be the difference between me being successful vs a total failure? FUCK NO, so who cares. :joy:

And I know the minute I say I’m getting a nice car, they’re immediately going to start trying to talk me out of it. ā€œhAvE U sEEn tHe gAS pRiCEs?ā€ ā€œYoUr iNsURaCE!ā€ ā€œYoU thINk yOuR sO cOOl eH?ā€ ā€œbRo iTs uR fIrsT cAr, gET soMEthInG sHiTTyā€.

People always try to drag me down to their level, it’s already been happening with my brother and my dad. Constantly sending me average ass cars, when they know I’m not interested. Even with me and my fitness, ā€œdo you really need to eat 6 eggs a day?ā€ ā€œJust eat normal man, you don’t need to eat all that proteinā€ ā€œHave some sweets it won’t hurtā€.

I hate the idea of being average, but that’s all I’m surrounded by, and it feels like people are always trying to box me in. So the minute I hold myself to a higher standard people always get offended and try and belittle me, which pisses me off to no end. I don’t tell them how to live, so who are they to tell me how to live? I don’t belittle anyone, I don’t judge others for having a normal car or not being a dedicated gym bro. If that how you want to live fine.

So then why can’t they leave me alone? I don’t hurt nobody? I don’t kill grandmas?

Ugh, normies hurt my brain :roll_eyes:

I just realized why I avoid most social interactions. Simply put, I associate them with pain.

Whether that’s feelings of general anxiety, feelings of inferiority, feelings of compete disinterest in what the other party has to say, feeling like I have to self censor and that I have to agree with everyone (even though I don’t).

I feel like I can’t be myself when I talk to people. Theirs only a select few people I can be my authentic self with. Everyone else, I feel like I have to put on an act for; or else they would hate me.

This is so stupid, I’m done feeling inferior all the time. I’m running Pcc next cycle.

Laughing at jokes I don’t find funny, letting people make jokes at my expense. It’s like the world walks all over me, and when I get angry about it and hit back… I’m the bad guy.

Know what, F romance titles. I don’t need that right now. I need to focus on my career/ money and my social life.

I’m good looking enough, Wanted will return when I’ve got these two down pat.

Now I need to decide… do I make a Stark custom focused on improving my career, wealth, productivity etc. So I can run another social title like Daredevil or PCC along with Elixir?

Or do I go ahead with that idea of Elixir & Sanguine with certain healing modules to address important personal issues that hold me back. And, run it with Stark and Daredevil, PCC or maybe even limitless executive cause I’ve been extremely lazy the last 3-4 months and I’m getting tired of my own BS.

Washout starts today. T - 5 days to decide

Because my productivity is so low, I’m going to try something new. I’ve been looking for actions I can take to help these subs ā€œbreatheā€.

So every day, I will choose to do one thing that will help propel me forwards. And I’m going to use this journal to keep myself accountable.

It may be something small; it may be something big. Bottom line, I need to do something; I cannot continue to float through my life feeling like I’m getting nowhere.

I feel full of energy and optimism when I’m progressing. Lately, I haven’t been feeling that way… and that says a lot.

So starting tonight: I’m going to read for 15 minutes before bed tonight. Currently reading: ā€œThe Presence Process.ā€
