- Not being clear on what you want to achieve.
- Being inconsistent (aka sub hopping).
- Not doing the work (aka not taking action).

I think this topic can be closed. Sub.Zero has summarized everything in a nutshell and there is nothing more to add.

I’m just adding nothing of value here, so if so, I’ll be on here forever muhahahahaa
But seriously though, great points… folks… don’t make it harder than it has to be…

- Justify your failures, shift the responsibility onto others for the non-working subs.

- Start out with micro loops and succeed. Then begin increasing loop times until overload makes you say “This sub doesn’t work for me”.

Or starting out with microloops, not seeing results, not increasing loops and then giving up

Ironic. I’ve never found longer loops to actually help anything. I went from 3 minutes to 5 just weeks back, and all I got was a less prominent feeling of “too much”. The majority of my early “subliminal fails” were from overloading myself. Most of the fails were pre-ZP, when we could run them all day.
And if choosing between peace and self-imposed subliminal hell, I’ll choose peace.
Seriously, over a year back, Invictus recommended I return to Chosen For Within–at only 30 seconds. I bucked it at first, as my pride lashed out.
But upon seeing the bigger picture a couple of hours later, I did a 30 second loop. I did that for weeks, and everything went smoothly. It works beautifully.
Subs don’t “work” when something inside us is in sheer opposition to a suggestion, whether it’s rational or not. Most of what we really believe is hidden from us, and subs help root them out quickly. This is when normal recon hits.
Shorter loops greatly diminish the rabid recon I used to experience. Longer loops? I’ll pass

It’s interesting. For me, the longer the loop is, the more pronounced, deep and better the result is
microloops are just scratching the surface for me, allowing me to get a lot of small wins and build up momentum while full loops are for when the momentum is already there

The ironic thing is the guys that do the 3 things @Sub.Zero pointed out are the ones trying to give advice. Like nah I’m good on your “advice” lol. I only want advice if they are a Founder, Researcher, or super experienced guy

On the other hand, recon doesn’t choose but it hits everyone. It’s usually recon that is the root of those three “sins”.
Moreover, recon on the NSE can be really subtle and way harder to spot.

The difference between Failure and Learning is a matter of where you’ve drawn your arbitrary finish line.
Technically, every moment prior to Success is Failure.
At the 9.2 seconds mark, even Usain Bolt was technically failing to run 100 meters.
The goal is to fail long enough and in such a way that your failures are conveying you towards success.
So for anyone out here who is supposedly ‘failing’: keep it up.
And keep learning.

That’s very optimistic. Good! 
We very much need it in the time of the “dark recon”.
However, there’s only one lesson to learn—track your reconciliation cycle and don’t let it derail your plan or hinder your growth. Letting it happen is a failure every single time. That failure isn’t just about wasting your priceless time—it’s also about not tapping in your potential in a better manner and the loss of opportunities you may never have again. I’m afraid there’s nothig arbitrary about the passage of time and not tapping in your capabilities to the fullest or at least in just a better way.

And your mental focus is a thing of beauty. @Sub.Zero
But as the man said:
A guitar string that’s too tight will play just as poorly as one that’s too loose.
We are, indeed, participants in a vitally important race towards Nowhere. A race in which every step counts.
What value we find will likely be in the running of that race; more so than in its outcomes.
Anyway. Your points are true. I think mine are also.
The emotions behind those points, on the other hand, are our own.
Often, it’s the emotions behind or implicit within our statements that drive others’ reactions.
Explicit Statement: “A is happening” (true)
Implicit Statement: “So therefore we ought to feel Y” (this aspect is personal choice)
We exist on, and communicate from, numerous levels simultaneously.

To me, there’s no race, but a journey of countless steps. Those are the only steps in the dance called life that truly count. There’s no destination but self-actualization and the overflowing joy that comes from it. Let’s not go from being overly optimistic to becoming quite pessimistic, shall we? 
Anyhow, everyone should mind how subtle recon on the NSE is and how it still affects our dance. Even more than ever.
