I’m starting a journal to share my experience with ZP, focused on CHOSEN and RICH. My goal is simple, get promoted in the next evaluation (~3 months). Tagging @King since we pretty much share goals and career.
As I explain below, I had Limitless too as part of this stack. However, I decided to keep it more focused, sticking with CHOSEN and RICH going forward.
To avoid repeating what I’ve shared before, I’ll link my first post from when I ran CHOSEN x2 here:
Continuing the discussion from Main Disc. Thread - CHOSEN [Now Available!]:
This has been my schedule:
- Dec 1: CHOSEN x2
- Dec. 3: CHOSEN + RICH
- Dec. 5: CHOSEN + Limitless
As I’ve said before, CHOSEN is a masterpiece and irreplaceable. Out of the three days, I felt the best after the first one. Of course, being the first time I ran any ZP program this could be expected, so I’m not going to assume this only has to do with CHOSEN.
Having said that, below is a summary of my experience the other two days:
Dec 3:
I ran CHOSEN and RICH back to back, during my “lunch break”. I’m using quotes here because I don’t have official breaks in my job, but I take time between meetings if the workload is manageable that day. I didn’t feel as calmed or focused this time while listening to the programs. If anything, I felt anxious, but this was probably due to being in the middle of the day. I kept thinking important emails were coming in, and that I was going to get a call and thus ruin the listening. None of that happened, but I ended less than satisfied because of all these distracting thoughts.
An interesting thing happened later that day when I was walking my dogs and journaling this experience on my phone (I use a voice recognition app that captures what I say in writing). I was describing the perceptual shift that I have experienced so far, and I realized that I have been like this before. When it comes to how I interact with others, since running ZP I behave just the same as I do when I’m in my safest place. What came to mind immediately was my baseball team. I’ve played baseball all my life and have always been very good at it. I started when I was 5 and reached the highest level of competition in my country by the time I was 15. Maybe because of this, I always felt my most confident there. On the one side, my coach is like family to me - like a big brother. I’ve known him and some of the team members for 35 years. Also, I’ve always excelled, so I feel in a position of supporting others without questioning whether my help is valuable or appreciated. When I’m interacting with others there, I have this unshackable confidence that nothing or no one can change. I feel completely at home, among family and long-time friends, respected and appreciated. With ZP, I get into this mindset in any situation. This is by far what I enjoy the most and I think it is at the center of why people respond well to me. By feeling this way, I must be radiating a strong positive energy that people pick up on. By the way, this feeling is never coming from feeling superior. When interacting with others I feel an important part of the group, but never more or less than anyone else.
Aside from that realization, the way people responded to me at work was incredible. You know these movies where someone changes bodies and so everyone around them is confused because they are acting weird? Well, no joking, some people are reacting to me so different now, that this is what I feel. It’s like they’ve been possed or something. A client who typically doesn’t give a f*ck about his job kept apologizing to me because he made mistake on some calculation he shared with me. Then, another client of mine said thank you repeatedly for something I did, even though the week before I would’ve swore that word wasn’t in his dictionary. Mind blowing.
Dec 5:
I ran CHOSEN + Limitless back to back, this time as soon as I woke up. I stood in bed and started running these two programs before getting up. The problem here is that I fell asleep, so can’t remember much of how I felt. I don’t even remember the switch from CHOSEN to Limitless. In any case, I woke up refreshed and was in a great mood all day.
A common theme I’m experiencing is that almost nothing bothers me. I don’t get irritated to the levels I would before. So, for example, that day someone cut me in traffic and I thought “what a d*ck!”, but that’s it. I didn’t feel it in my chest as I typically would. I could see he was endangering everyone around him, and I would’ve had no problem telling him that, but I didn’t get an emotional reaction from it. Almost nothing breaks the positive mindset ZP promotes.
Of course, people kept surprising me throughout the day. I was at a gas station getting myself an energy drink, and they had a $3 limit to pay with a credit card. The drink was $2.5, so when I saw the sign, I got one of those small 5h energy shots next to the counter and asked the guy to add it. He looked at me, told me not to worry about it, and charged only the $2.5 on my card. I know it is a very small thing, but it is the first time this happens to me. In my experience, they rarely allow you to use a credit card under the limit, even when you ask them. I didn’t even ask this time, so I was very surprised by his reaction.
Today is a rest day, but I’ll continue tomorrow with CHOSEN + RICH and keep updating this journal regularly, as anything worth mentioning happens.
