how does it work?
I want to understand how it works so I can get better at keeping that state of mind that comes and goes.
something happened about 2 months ago( personal) that completely changed the way I think and the way I see the world
I changed my diet in a day starter excersising and lost about 30 lbs with ease. I can focus I can pretty much do everything that I couldn't do if you asked me 3 months ago.
I was overweight I had no energy I had no motivation I had absolutely no attention span I was in a swamp mentally
soddenly in a day I changed and for about a week I felt like the guy in limitless... last week I learned more foreign language than I learned in last 7 years( only one language for now lol)
the problem is I fear that this state of mind is gonna disappear and I will fall back into the swamp
I wake up every day in much better mood I find something to motivate me throughout the day and something new to learn
but today I felt it my brain felt exhausted for few hours and had no energy at all like the battery was suddenly dead
I jumped on youtube and watched some videos to motivate me and it worked but I still have that fear in the back of my mind like this is gonna be gone
anyone can share their story if you had similar experience how long ago and how/what did you do to keep it
yesterday I was listening to a meditation cd and my wife came over and was crawling allover trying to get my attention and did not get distracted I did not get angry I stayed focused for about 15 minutes to finish the meditation 30 minute cd...
this have never happened . I usually get distracted by pretty much everything.

Reminds me of a similar experience I went through, one day I felt as if I had been sleeping my entire life.
Went through the next several weeks with a focus as you describe above. However, tragedy struck in a way I couldn't have prepared for, and soon after i propelled into a negative imprint, the polar-opposite of the happiness awareness I discovered.
I'm am since a bit more balanced but that degree of focus I had for those few weeks never truly returned. Perhaps the novelty of it wore off. Satori? Or a temporary infatuation with a new state of mind?

I got it back by seeing how someone else lived and wanting to live like that once again.
Pray, meditate, focus, just keep it up and this can be your new baseline consciousness If you fail, no biggie Just like a child, your soul will naturally atune itself again and accomplish it perfectly the next time However, you sound good and healthy, remember to forgive yourself when you are not perfect and get rest when you become exhausted
meditation is amazing it's changed my life in the last few weeks I was experiencing a whole lot of issues, therapy and meditation has cured almost all of it I've been doing gratitude meditation, forgiveness meditation, chakra meditation, whatever I feel like. I was going into a negative spiral today and felt vaguely like I might return to old habits but then I meditated and felt so good by the end
My sacrifice has been more time spent on creative projects and less time consuming media, social media. Eating healthy is super important to me.
I just posted this in my shroomery journal, maybe it's relevant in some way:
Quote:
You belong here. Not just on the shroomery (but if you are here in the first place, you're probably pretty damn special), but on this Earth and this dimension. I believe you are meant to be here and that you will recieve ultimate grace. You are respected and loved without condition. YOU are worthwhile.
I've gone most of my life feeling disconnected from the majority of humanity. Feeling like I didn't belong, that I was too weird, too strange, living without a heart and a brain. I craved for the day I would belong. I still sometimes feel like an alien but I'm beginning to think that is natural.
This feeling can come and go. I remember the last time I felt like this. I was in the mental hospital and I had some kind of breakthrough where I felt bliss and peace at a level I had never felt before. I was meditating a lot, doing yoga, and practicing gratitude at every possible moment.
It was also conditional on surrendering parts of me or activities or habits and settling in to a simpler kind of life. Last time I was lucky that I was in a mental hospital because I had no power to go out and practice my regular habits. This time it it self induced but just as powerful.
However, this too shall pass. Challenges and tribulations lie ahead. But I am grateful that this grace and peace is possible and welcome it as the new baseline consciousness.

It's interesting so many people feel this way

Let it go.
Pleasure and happiness can be a huge problem, because we want to cling to them forever.
