First run through
Ok so I've finished my first run through and I've really enjoyed it. At first I assumed that I had done simillar type of material before - but actually it was all really new to me. The idea of concentrating on raising my emotional zone was something I've never done before. Previously my emotions were always something to be overcome, or battled through, or struggled with, on the way to getting what I want. This was my understanding of how life worked.
And funnily enough a woman I work with revealed yesterday that she's been quietly working away on another degree in her evenings for some time now. I was kind of blown away - we're both smart, ambitious, persistant, dedicated people but I knew I simply wouldn't be able to do what she was (apparently) doing every day when she gets home from work. And it was one of those moments where I looked at my own life and felt a surge of energy and thought "Right! Let's get a move on with these projects I'm trying to finish!"
This time I can see that that drive is born out of (very mild) envy or insecurity. Instead of spending the weekend trying to wrestle my life into shape and heaping pressure on myself to achieve something, I can focus on raising my emotional zone. This is big new learning for me!
And when I looked at her life, I realised what the difference was. She's happier than I am. On a ten point scale, if I'm waking up as a 6 every morning, then she's waking up as an 8 every morning. Sure I know she has her own worries, anxieties, struggles etc. But she's able to keep herself in a higher emotional zone every day, whereas I slip up and down all over the place. And from her higher emotional zone things happen just that little bit more smoothly, things fall into place, stuff makes sense, energy is there to get things done.
Anyway I've blabbed on. But yeah, I've really enjoyed my first time through the program. My goal is to finish a little book I'm working on, and I'm finding it a lot easier and a lot more fun now. It's not the struggle that it was previously, and it's not the struggle that I believed it should be if I was going to produce something worthwhile.

The good news is... I'm getting there. As I've gotten better at raising my emotional zone and staying in that zone, stuff happens more easily for me, just as I saw it happening for her. If I'd kept on struggling to make things happen despite my emotions, I know I'd be even more frustrated and miserable now.
That's a 6 months update - yay!
