It has been several months since I started using this app and a couple months of not using it at all. Honestly, it didn't give me that huge of an effect as I hoped but it did help some. And I noticed a longer term effect. I have noticed that I seem to recall some things better without trying, from childhood memories to random facts. It's an interesting and unexpected side effect that is prompting me to start using the app again... Anyway just felt the need for that little update...

Days 24-27
Decided I'm going to make less posts from here on in unless something of significance happens. So far, the app is still doing all I've written about before but I still have off days. Still using it though because the benefits have proven themselves worth it to me.

Days 21, 22, 23
Sorry about the delay in posts...
Still using the app & I do feel like something is happening. I've been feeling much more confident about my abilities lately and still feeling rather upbeat.
Still living a boring life working at Subway and vegging out on tv & twitter too much but at least I don't feel so bad about my life anymore.
I'm starting to notice all the good in my life more and feeling happy just because.
And I'm finding out I can do things, like change the water filter in our house, that I didn't think I could do.
I also seem to be remembering things better, especially things I've learned since using the app for some reason.
Not feeling "Limitless" or anything but I do feel more able to think clearly, more upbeat & even (dare I say) happy even though essentially nothing has really changed in my life.
Going to keep this short tonight.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get back to my normal format.
PS - Had another lucid dream during a nap tonight. Felt so real. Walking around a huge high-rise luxury hotel / condo building that had a floor mostly for employees to live on and another section that was basically a mall. I was going to start living & working there soon and was trying to find my way around. Encountered several interesting people in the dream. Remember it all so clearly still, hours later, more like a memory than a dream.

Day 19 & 20
Well, day 19 was kind of an okay, average day, and nothing really particular happened so I didn't even think of putting up a post. Just home, work, home, tv & twitter.
So far day 20 hasn't been much to crow about either. Home, work, home, etc.
But while studying a long-time interest of mine, ancient cultures, and in this case ancient Sumeria, I noticed it was a lot easier to remember things I'd learned before about this subject that a friend had told me than it usually is for me.
Honestly, I've usually got a terrible memory and can't remember much more than basic things. And it seems like it has been getting worse over the years.
So, maybe the app is starting to work a bit more for me. So I'll keep using it and reporting here, for now.
I have grown rather fond of listening to this binaural audio app now and have grown used to listening to the 15 minute session one to two times a day, as well as the 30 minutes session on waking and sleeping.

Day 18
Well, it was an average day for me lately. Waking up while playing the NZT app, going downstairs & taking care of cats & myself. Getting my daughter up & awake, if she isn't awake already, which she often has been lately. And then going on my computer, to check up & participate on twitter.
Last night, I also did something a bit unexpected for me... I applied for a social media job at FOX Network. I figure, since I already trumpet their tv shows so much, I might as well get paid well for it. I don't know if they will feel I'm a good fit or not but I felt the need to go after something I desire and decided there was no way of knowing if I did not at least make the attempt... So, I applied. And time will tell whether they think I am right for them or not. *fingers crossed*
Anyway, I was a bit late getting to work, after not anticipating how long it would take to unbury my deck & car from the 4-5 inches of heavy snow we got during the night. But at least work was relatively slow, thanks to said snow. So, I got through it okay, although it gets rather boring at a job with nothing much to do for hours...
I really need to find more creative work... Maybe writing... I have been enjoying blogging again. It's been a very long time since I wrote anything on a consistent basis or at all... I had forgotten how much fun writing can be.
So, I spent the afternoon hanging out with my daughter, who has been also wanting to go to bed early thanks to waking up so early too. She went to bed right before 10pm, having already fell asleep for a short nap before dinner.
I've been just having fun watching episodes of The Grinder on Hulu while also reading bits of an ebook and thought to have an app session while reading the book, now that it is after 11pm and I'm starting to get sleepy too.
And I have to say, this session was one of the best experiences I've had while using the app. I felt it through my entire body unlike I had until now. It was like my body was in a vibrational bath that made me feel so good & I just didn't want to leave. And the vibration lasts for awhile after the app session ends. Maybe something is starting to kick in, I don't know, but that really felt good & I can't wait to try another session in the morning.
For now, going to watch a bit more of my show then go to bed...
PS - I took a typing test online, just for fun & got 68-70wpm! Still got it!

Day 17
Well, I don't know if it's the fun night I had watching Lucifer & tweeting about it with the crew & cast or if it is the NZT app but I want to believe the latter has something to do with it...
Either way, I've been in an incredible mood today! Hoping it last...
I've felt more confidence today than I'm used to, more surety than is typical for me.
And today, while driving back to work for my second shift, I came to feel what can only be described as something unlocking within me, in my brain or mind or soul...
I don't know what it was exactly and I don't really want to speculate but it felt amazing...
And I don't know if this will last, grow or go away (Lucifer Forbid!) but it is very interesting tonight...
And has me thinking of new possibilities...
Also realized I REALLY enjoy troubleshooting computer tech problems for others. When actor Tom Ellis tweeted about a Mac air problem, my mind went straight into "Can I fix it? Yes I can!" mode.
PS - A new Limitless is on tonight and Bradley Cooper is going to be on!

Day 16
Still a bit in a funk today. Well, can't expect 30 years of depression to disappear after only two weeks using a neural audio app like this NZT app to wipe all that away. Brains may have plasticity but that doesn't mean neural pathways change instantly. As a matter of fact, I read the other day that when we create new habits our brains actually resist, as new pathways are formed because the old pathways often shrink and fall away and the brain resists this change. That's why change and new habits are so hard to create. There is actual science behind it!
Anyway, going to keep using the app because it has helped my mood & sleeping a bit more than anything else I've tried & I'd like to see what a few more weeks will do. Not expecting anything profound at this point but just glad one out of the hundreds of audios, videos & books I've absorbed and tried over the years has actually done something good for me.
Yesterday ended better than it seems in the post. I stayed up several hours after. Started watching Charmed with my daughter and she loves it. Looks like we have a new series to binge watch together which (witch?) makes me glad. Bonding with a 13-year-old can be a real challenge sometimes.
Also, going to start adding other enhancement audios & videos to my regimen of brain health and see how they work in concert with the app. We will see how it goes.
And also going to start reading a complicated text to see how well I absorb, recall and understand it. Will let you know...
I'll add more as the day goes by, if I feel the need...
PS - It's well into the end of the night now and I do feel to add something. I realized this weekend that perhaps it is time to make use of the Minister title I've had for nearly 18 years now, and use it to do good in this world for alternative and odd people like me. So, I have decided to offer my services to those who want a ceremony that is other than normal, since most traditionally religious Ministers would shy away from such services. I'm hoping I can fill a niche for those odd people in the world that are looking for something a little bit different.
