This is a great thread that I’m glad to have found. During my months away from the forums, I discovered similar things as you guys mentioned here.
I sometimes have trouble noticing reconciliation because it just reminds me of how I used to be in the past with those bad days filled with negativity, so often I think it is just me having a bad day. I also get too immersed in the situation, actively trying to find a solution instead of taking a step back and observing, which is the real solution. Ironically, I tend to realize it was reconciliation after I stop playing subs for a few days or more, since it’s like my mind now has time to process and reflect, not just go go go.
What gives me reconciliation the most is when I am taking action but my actions, for whatever reason, are backfiring and not going the way I wanted them to go. This tends to put my mind in a tantrum since, not only am I failing but it also isn’t matching the scripting in the subliminal, a dreadfully trapped feeling of reality turning against you. Not taking any action would be the second worse, it mainly manifests as feeling pointless or useless.
The tactic I’ve been using:
For me what that has been helpful, other than lowering loops, is to have different goals that satisfy the subliminal I am running. I call these work goals, fun goals and dream goals.
Work Goals are ones that actively make me money. They can cause recon if I’m not meeting those goals but can be damn satisfying when I do meet them, probably because of the wealth modules. Some people with stable jobs may not have as much issue with these goals, but something volatile like trading can make this area a challenge.
Fun Goals exist to lower recon, they are important to not be critical of performance and don’t exist to make money. The best is if they fit into the subliminals that you are running. So in my custom I have ultimate artist in it, when I introduced in my routine to just draw without the expectations that this is going to be something I will use for my dream or work goals, I’m just drawing for my enjoyment, then it was extremely effective to make me feel better. Working out is another fun goal for me. Something very useful here is improving your skills with fun goals can usually benefit work or dream goals, so it’s a little trick to pull on yourself.
Dream Goals are those ultimate “meaning of life” goals you want to achieve but aren’t currently making money, usually once completed are a combo of work and fun. Some people are lucky to find themselves in a situation like this already, and I’d bet that the reconciliation is lower for them and their progress is insanely fast. Working towards these goals can create a lot of reconciliation for me because the expectations I make for myself are so high. Also since I care so much about them, when there are set backs, the reconciliation is triggered hard.
Maintaining a balance of these goals is important, having too many work or dream goals would lead me to bad reconciliation and I’d have to cut old ones to replace new ones. Like say if someone started commissioning me to make artwork for them, then my fun goal also becomes a work goal and I would have to drop my trading goals or else things would get too crazy.
