**Stage 1 Cycle 2 Week 4 **
-
I have passed the halfway point of Cycle 2 and have only two more listening weeks and a washout before stage 2. It’s seemed to go really fast and really slow at the same time if that makes any sense.
I think that the number one effect I am getting from stage one is detachment. I can look at what’s happening in my life from a slightly elevated perspective. It allows me to see things with a little more objectively without the stress and emotion that being fully “in the story” causes. I see that it’s not as dire as I was thinking and theres
I also have a greater degree of clarity on events that caused me psychological harm in the past. I have a much better picture of what was really happening, the flaws in what I was telling myself, and my own and other people’s real motives.
I’ve noticed a marked reduction in anxiety of all kinds, overall more positive thinking.
From Emperor I’ve noticed that my body language has improved beyond anything I’ve ever seen, an increase in productivity, and that I now really feel like I’m a competent and effective man. I’ve also noticed that I see an extremely good looking man in the mirror. -
I had a talk with my wife last night about how she’s feeling. I noticed that most of what she had to say was a bunch of reasons why she can’t do anything to improve her situation. She has tied herself into mental knots that she thinks she can’t escape and resists all suggestions to help her. It’s almost as if she’s fighting to stay miserable.
Nothing I can do about it, that’s one of the lessons I learned so far on stage one.
