Be Extraordinary

"I don’t feel lonely anymore"

Today, I completed the 30-day Be Extraordinary Program. I have not shared a single post but have benefited from reading all of yours. Thank you. And because of those who have shared both on the comments or live feed, you have given me courage to share. Let me start with my Lifebook Assessment score is very high – Excellent. I am proud that few of those highest scores are Parenting, Spiritual, Character, Life Vision and Social… Not to be or sound conceited in any way, as I do have my struggle. I went through a divorce last year and had been in therapy all year. Come 2024 I needed to test all the tools I learned, and I stopped my therapy sessions. It was good for a while and then the challenge with my new job, I knew I needed help and needed it fast. I am so grateful to find this new “university” where I look forward to come back each day. Below is my list of things I have received so far. It may not seem as big and many of yours, but to me, they are the best things. I also attached a few photos of my journal. My last comment for now is – I am only just getting started, and I look forward to contribute and grow this community. 
I have a quality sleep. I have been sleeping well, although some nights I didn’t get long hours. There was also a period of time I felt like I didn’t need sleep. I came across someone’s comments and felt so good that the effect was not only just on me. Many others felt the same. I believe this is due to transcendent practices: forgiveness, journaling, meditation, … 
I would say to myself during my morning segment indenting session, “…and no matter what happens today, I will always feel calm and collected” Tomorrow I am going to add there will be something that makes me laugh very hard and loud.
I am able to move stress and anxiety on the side, ask myself and listen to what feel right and what needs to done right now instead of forcing it.
I am able to take myself to the “boardroom” or invite someone out for an advice quickly and effectively, and the person I go to often is the “alternate me”.
This one is big – I don’t feel lonely anymore. I used to feel that I needed physical touch, hugs, someone to do something with. Now I enjoy myself, I am loved, I feel loved, I don’t like for the light because now I know I am part of the light.
I am at peace. I forgive. During my mediation, I forgive others, I forgive myself and I ask for forgiveness.
I constantly have new ideas and way to improve the platform for my team. I sometimes had a new idea during my sleep but I forgot when I woke up.
People comments on my beautiful and bright skin.
I am more patient with my children and feel great about the advice I give them.
Each day I feel less sensitive and intimidated by my ex’s temper or when he is being sarcastic. And I know so soon, instead of “less” it will become “not”.
I feel lucky all the time.
I can hear the words and thoughts before they are said.
I trust myself like never before.
I can now cry (good cry). To me, this is a sign that I am letting go, relax, letting myself feel and react to it - - - rather than always having to be strong.
I am “in a perpetual state of bliss on a regular basis” – this is Vishen’s statement and I am feeling it.
I love Rumi’s words, especially The Guest House.
I am deciding on which program to get on next. For now, thank you so much Vishen, Mindvalley Team and all of you for this life-changing journey.
