The Past 24 Hours…

went fairly well!  It’s now been 55 hours since I’ve had a full night’s rest, and I feel decent.  I’m still a bit sluggish, and I know if I laid down I would fall asleep, but I’ve been able to keep busy.  The key to this whole experiment is to not push yourself too hard.

I accidentally slept 2 hours for one of my naps, and last time around I would have beat myself up for it, but I know that I didn’t achieve REM because I had no dreams.  Due to a family emergency, I had to push back one of my naps for an hour, there was simply no getting around it.

Despite these “setbacks”  I’ve been feeling pretty good.  I’m sluggish when I wake up, but less so than last night.  Every nap seems to come easier and I’ve been able to get up on my own without much help at all.

I’ve continued to eat light after my naps, and rely on my friend to keep my up when I absolutely need it.  I feel that tonight won’t be very rough at all.  It will still be tough, but much more manageable.

I’m starting to dream during my naps, which is a huge plus.  I also have experienced time dilation for one of my naps as well!

Time Dilation

Time dilation occurs when you fall asleep for your nap, and wake up thinking that it’s a couple hours later.  You actually feel like you were asleep for 2, maybe even 3 hours.

This happened during one of my naps.  I woke up thinking that I had overslept, when I was actually right on time!  Pretty cool feeling, I must say.

Although it continues to add to my increasingly distorted view of time.  I feel like the past 2 1/2 days have run together.  I couldn’t figure out whether it had been 2 days since I started or just 1!  (I eventually pulled it together. )

I have some more thoughts to develop on this, which I will be expanding on tomorrow.  Actually, there are numerous odd things that have been happening during this trial that I’m planning on sharing, so stay tuned.

I have many other things on my to do list for tonight, so this update will be kept short, but I will be posting a meatier update tomorrow.  See you all then!

And for that Video I promised you…

The quality is a little spotty, it was dark.  As in 2 am dark.

The Nitty Gritty

It’s been over 24 hours since I’ve taken a full night’s rest, and I’ve successfully completed Day 1 of my polyphasic sleep experiment.  Not having the reset button at night makes it difficult to decide which day is actually Day 1, but I’ve opted to say Day 1 is 24 hours after starting this experiment.  I’ve taken 5 naps now, starting at 1 am today until now.  My last full night’s rest was from 9 am until 4 pm yesterday, so it’s been 27 hours since a full night’s rest.

The past 27 hours have been filled with periods of grogginess and fatigue, as well of periods of normalcy.  Some of my cycles seem to be going pretty well, while others are rather hellish to get through.

The last 27 hours have been easier than I thought they would be, and that’s a pretty good sign.  I was able to dream in 1 of my 5 naps, which is the entire goal of the adaption period.  I’m training my body to reach REM within 25 minutes (my allotted nap time) and stay there until I wake up.

Polyphasic Lessons…. Pay Attention.

The one nap that I did achieve REM was the most restorative of all, but I made a critical error.  I woke up 15 minutes into the nap from my dream and decided that I should go back to sleep for the rest of the nap time.  Big mistake.  I woke up groggier, but still feeling better than my other naps.

Lesson learned:  If you wake up from a REM nap early, STAY AWAKE.

I was able to keep all of my nap times within 10 minutes of my target area, and I ended up taking one longer nap (about 45 minutes.)  However, during that nap I didn’t achieve REM, so I still am sleep depriving my brain, which is a good thing.  (Which sounds opposite of what it should be. )

I’ve been sticking to routine tasks that keep my mind occupied but don’t deplete my energy reserves too much.  My main tasks have been blogging, marketing, cleaning, playing with my dog, and watching movies.

My schedule is clear for the next week or so, to give me time for the adaption, and I have a feeling that was a smart move.  If you don’t have a clear schedule for the adaption, you are much more likely to fail.  Your brain will start playing tricks on you saying things like “You need a full night’s sleep for all of those things you have to get done tomorrow.  Go ahead, you can take it.”

It’s the same thing that your brain does when your alarm goes off in the morning, it isn’t able to think clearly and tries to override your body and get it to stay in bed.

This has been happening to me when my alarm goes off, but as I said in my post before, I have a partner in crime this time.  She was going to try to adapt with me, but that led to oversleeping at my 9 am nap this morning.  After that, we decided that she was to sleep when I felt capable of staying awake, and she was to get me up and keep me awake when I felt like I couldn’t.

I know from experience that I can get up out of bed, turn off an alarm, and go back to bed without waking up.  This has happened to me before, and I won’t risk it happening again.  She has been given full permission to do whatever is necessary to keep me awake and get me out of bed.  (Which is a little frightening… )

I highly suggest that if you try to adapt, have someone committed to being there to keep you awake and to wake you up when your alarm goes off.  It’s only for the adaption, which typically takes less than a week.

The reason for this is because your brain will try to trick you into going to bed.  My most overpowering thought is “I don’t want to feel tired all the time, why don’t I just go to bed and get some sleep like a normal person!  I’m tired of feeling like this, and we can fix it!”

I struggled with this thought last night, but had an a breakthrough today.  While I may feel tired at the present moment, that will all pass after I adapt.  I might feel like a train is perpetually running me over for the next 4-7 days, but afterwards I will feel even better than I did before.  I will be getting more REM, and I will have more time to work and pursue fun hobbies.

By placing some of the responsibility in another person’s hands, it relieves the pressure of the weak moments that you are bound to have during adaption.  Again, I highly suggest that you find a partner to keep you up.

I might add that I am going through the adaption without the aid of coffee or energy drinks.  While they may help in the short term, caffeine is known to hinder your body’s ability to reach your REM cycle.  And REM sleep is what my body craves the most.

I’ve tried to adapt with caffeine before, and it makes the adaption much, MUCH harder.

I also have found that eating light meals after every nap is the best was to handle food on this sleep pattern.  Eating before napping makes it harder to fall asleep, and eating big meals make you tired and groggy.  I also suggest staying away from meat as much as humanly possible.  I am an ex-vegetarian, and would love to go back.  Meat makes you sluggish and hinders your body’s ability to do many things.  Avoid it all costs while on this sleeping pattern.  Replace your meat intake with more fruits and veggies.  Fruit provides a nice boost in energy, which is why I always try to have an apple on hand for when I’m feeling groggy.

It’s time for a nap again, but I will see you all tomorrow with another update.

And I’ll be posting a fun video of what I decided to do last night to keep me awake.  (And no, it’s not what you think, you naughty person, you….)

Polyphasic Sleep 101

Ahh…. polyphasic sleep.  My old nemesis….

If you’ve been a reader of this blog you know that a few months back I tried to adapt to a sleep schedule called “polyphasic sleep”, and to make a long story short, I failed miserably.

I overslept, had to skip naps, incorrectly set alarms, and it was a mess.

Although a failed at polyphasic sleep, I succeeding in figuring out what it was going to take to succeed at this sleep schedule.

And right now is where I explain what polyphasic sleep is, isn’t it?

Polyphasic sleep is a form of sleeping in sequential naps.  There are a few different varieties of polyphasic sleep: everyman, uberman, and dymaxion.

You right now are a monophasic sleeper.  You sleep in one long chunk every night.  Darkness comes, you roll into bed, and crawl out when the sun comes up.

Polyphasic sleep is drastically different.  A polyphasic sleeper will nap throughout the day AND night in order to get the rest that they need.

How long do they sleep?  An average of 2-5 hours.

Yep, that’s it.

I can already hear your next question. “How is this possible?”

The idea is simple.  Polyphasic sleep starves your brain of your most important stage of sleep.  Your REM cycle.

Your REM cycle is the stage of sleep that restores your body, organizes your memories, and gives you dreams.

An average monophasic sleeper gets about 1.5 hours of REM every night.

Once your brain is sleep deprived, it will go into survival mode and skip past the other less necessary stages of sleep and put you straight into your REM cycle for nearly the full amount of time you are asleep.

Because you are achieving your REM cycle the same amount of hours as a normal monophasic sleeper, you are able to function just as a normal person would.

The amazing fact of the matter is, most people say that they feel BETTER as a polyphasic sleeper.  (Once they get through the hellish adaption period, that is.)

The Three Types of Polyphasic Sleep

Of the three different brands of polyphasic sleep, Everyman is the most normal.

In the Everyman polyphasic sleep schedule you take a core nap every night of 2-5 hours and take intermittent 20-30 minute naps throughout the day.

You get a grand total of maybe 2 hours back everyday, depending on how long your core nap is, and how many naps you take during the day.

Of the three types, Everyman takes the longest to adapt to, but it is the easiest of the three.  Your brain stay sleep deprived longer because it doesn’t have to go into survival mode to function.  It becomes more your body adapting than your brain commanding you to go into your REM cycle.

The most radical of the three is the dymaxion sleep schedule. (Which just happens to be the one that I had failed to adapt to.)

The dymaxion sleep schedule consists of taking a 4 naps throughout the day, each 30 minutes long.  These naps must be spread apart every 6 hours.

You sleep a grand total of 2 hours a day, gaining back 4-6 hours of your life every day.

I have looked, and have found no reputable or proven sources that show anyone adapting to this schedule.  (If you find some, let me know.)

The last of the three is the uberman sleep schedule.  (Which is the the schedule that I am currently adapting to.)

The Uberman sleep schedule calls for taking 6 naps, 20-30 minutes each.  You sleep an average of 2-3 hours a day.  The bummer of this schedule is the fact that every 4 hours you have to lay down to take a nap.

They are reputable and documented sources of people adapting to this sleep schedule very successfully.  I linked to them in another article that you can find here.

My Chosen Adversary…

After much deliberation and a few quick test runs, I’ve opted to adjust to the uberman sleep schedule.

It has the most documented success, the same amount of sleep time as dymaxion, and I have the work schedule to pull it off.  (One of the many joys of being self-employed )

So what makes this different than the last time I tried it?

• I’m doing a sleep schedule that has had successful attempts
• I have a huge focus in my life right now to provide motivation
• I have a partner in crime
• Finally, I’ve done my research, and know some tips and tricks of the trade

My last attempt was unsuccessful due to lack of knowledge, limits, and know-how.  Picking up certain tips like changing my diet, my habits, sleeping location as well as mindset will give a tremendous advantage.

I will be documenting my adaption both in video and text on this blog, as well as created a free PDF for you all to download with all of the tips and tricks that I have found that actually work.  (The Title is still in the works, but “The Definitive Guide to Polyphasic Sleep” sounds pretty good… )

I’ll see you guys tomorrow with more in depth info and updates on my progress.

Time for a nap!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…

Making tough decisions is a part of living life.  We all go through it.  We all have to bear that burden.  We put off decisions that we don’t know the answer to, and it ends up making things worse.

What happens when you put off a decision?  Eventually it will be made for you, whether you like it or not.  Don’t give up your power like that.  Don’t let someone make the decisions for you.  You are a powerful human being that is in charge of your own life.

You might tell me that God is in charge, or some other deity.  My personal belief is presbyterian christianity, and while I believe in predestination, I also believe that God has given us free will to act as we see fit.  He may influence us one way or another, but ultimately it’s up to us to follow Him or not.  (And yes, He knows what we are going to do ahead of time, so if you decide to disobey, He has planned for your disobedience as well.  But trust me, you won’t be as happy.)

So ultimately, it comes down to your own free will, and using your power to exercise your free will.

If there is nothing else that you get from this article, please get that.  You have the power to create the reality that you wish.  You have the power to create happiness.  You have the power to create joy.  You have the power to create relationships.  You have the power to create money.  YOU have the power.

Let me ask you a question.  Are you happy with your life?  Do you wake up every day with a smile on your face, and joy in your heart?  Do you live a life that isn’t held down by scarcity?

I hate to break it to you, but those of us who try and don’t give up, few of us actually make it to that state.

And if you aren’t in that state of life, you have no one to blame but yourself.  Bad things may have happened to you, you may have been born with disabilities, and any number of setbacks may be in your life.  But ultimately it is your responsibility and your right to create the life that you want.  You may have to go through some of the hardest times of your life to get there, but don’t give up.  You have the power and the ability.

One of the key areas of exercising your power to create the life that you want is in the realm of decision-making.  As I said earlier, put off a decision and it will be made for you, and you will live in a state of restlessness until then.

Don’t let that happen.  Go ahead and make that decision that you’ve been putting off.  It can be anything from should I break up with my significant other to should we let grandma continue living on life support.  Go ahead and make the decision.  It is your responsibility, and if you wait too long it will be made for you and there will be nothing that you can do about it then.  Use the time that you’ve been given to make the decision that you want.

That being said, decision-making is one of the hardest things that we do in this life.  It dictates where we go, what we see, who we love, how much money we make, nearly everything.  And to make wise decisions you are going to have to practice at it.  (Yes, I said practice.)

Practice the techniques that I’m getting ready to give you on small decisions and see if you are happy with the outcome.  Progress from there to bigger decisions.  This causes a kind of double win situation.  Because on the one hand you are strengthening your decision making ability to make wise decisions, and on the other hand you are making wise decisions that are improving the quality of your life.

1.  Follow your Gut

Instinct is something that we all have been blessed with.  And it isn’t always right, but it will normally steer you in the safest direction.  That being said, the safest direction isn’t always the wisest direction.

If you follow your gut all of the time, it will lead you down routes that never make your use your courage or bravery.  You will learn to be a coward instead.

To circumvent this, learn how to train your gut to give you the best decision.  Learn what the best decisions are from studying from your mistakes and successes as well as the mistakes and successes of other people, and make those decisions whether or not the coincide with your gut instinct.  (I would listen to your gut to tailor the decision though.  It has an uncanny ability for being at least partially right.)

If you do this enough times you will find that your gut instinct will start making the best decisions instead of the safest decisions.  Rinse and Repeat.

2.  Make a Split Decision

If you’re lost on what to do and you keep going back and forth between what is the right thing to do, make a split decision.  Ask a friend to sit down with you and ask you a question related to the decision at hand.

Say you can’t decide whether or not you want to break up with your current significant other, have a friend ask you what you want to do about with the situation, whether it be break up with them or decide to work things out.  Say the absolute first thing that comes to mind.  Typically, it’s what you truly desire.

This strategy works by putting a time pressure on the brain, making it think that it has to go with whatever answer you give, so it does some quick calculations, takes your feelings into account, and gives you it’s best answer for what you truly desire.

This decision making technique has helped me out in many circumstances, and I don’t hesitate to use it because I’ve been pleased with the results.

3.  Make a Fake Decision

Instead of debating back on forth on what you should do, just pick one.  Seriously, give it your best guess and make the decision in your mind.  Often times if you’ve made the wrong decision little alarms will go of on your mind to take the other route.

I’ve used this technique to make decisions about whether or not I want I reese’s cup or snickers, to whether or not I should invest in a thousand dollar online course.

After you’ve made the decision, start to carry it out and see how you feel.  If you still have no alarms, then you are more than likely good to go.  If you start getting a bad feeling about it, then you need to go down the other route and see if you have any negative feelings as you are carrying it out.

If you have bad feelings in both areas, that means that there is a third option that you aren’t exploring that you need to.  The reason for your indecision is that your mind is waiting for a decision that both satisfies it’s logic as well as your spirit/emotions.  Look through your close-mindedness and see the third option.  It’s there, I promise you.

4.  Make a Pro’s and Con’s list

This technique is old school, but it still works.  Sitting down and writing out a pro’s and con’s list on a sheet of paper will give you clearer insight than if you try to make the decision in your head.

Rule of Thumb:  If the problem can be written down on paper, it can be solved on paper.

Write down your pro’s and con’s and see how you feel about the decision then.  In many circumstances one decision will clearly outweigh the other in positive results, and you will go with that decision.

5.  Journal It

If you’ve never kept a journal, now is the time to start.  Nearly all of the leader’s in every field keep some sort of journal to record their thoughts, ideas, and breakthroughs.  I highly suggest daily journaling.  It clears your mind from clutter, organizes it, and usually gives tremendous insight into current circumstances.

If you are having a problem with a decision, sit down and journal about it.  Write everything that you think and feel about the decision, and your thoughts will usually follow through to a conclusion, which is your final decision.

Getting out all of your fears, ideas, expectations, and worries about an idea on paper usually helps you see clearly.

Writing things out also helps you think in a linear fashion, which is useful for problem solving because you end up chasing all of your mind’s rabbit trails on the subject and removing them from the equation, leaving you with the facts spelled out in front of you in black and white.

6.  Set a Timer

Personal development blogger Steve Pavlina tries to take less than 60 seconds to make decisions.  If he finds himself deliberating longer than that, he will set a timer for 60 seconds and make a decision by the time the alarm goes off.

And then he sticks to it.

This technique uses a combination of time pressure and split decision making.

Using this method also gets you geared to make quick decisions that you have to stick with and be happy with.  Because once the timer goes off, whatever decision you’ve come to you must stick with.

You will quickly learn from your mistakes and start to make better decisions.

(And yes, I have used this method with great results.)

7. Follow the Path with a Heart

When all else fails and I still feel stuck on what to do, I follow the path with a heart.  I choose the path that gives back the most, the path the benefits others the most (as well as myself.)  The best example I can give of this is my recent decision to restart and revamp my blog.

For the past 9 months or so of this blog’s life I have been mostly focused on drawing traffic, trying to make a sale, and build an e-mail list.  I’ve been focusing on doing what every successful person on the internet tells you to do.  (Well, nearly every successful person on the internet…)

And all I have to show for it is dismal traffic, no sales, no leads, and no money.  More importantly, I’ve had no fulfillment in my work.  I’ve been empty inside.  I chose the path that would seem the most logical, and it got me no where.

Then I decided the follow the path with a heart.  I decided to start giving away my best content.  I decided to start making resources for bloggers that were useful, practical, and FREE.  Who knows, I may decide at some point to start making and selling an ebook or course of some sort.  But I know that I would only do so if I felt that the content was truly 10x what I was charging for it.

I realized that I’m not into blogging and entrepreneurship to make money, that’s just not a driving motivator for me.  I want to make something beautiful for everyone to benefit from.  I want to help people grow.  I want to further myself.  I want to go to work every day excited as hell to get the day started.

So my last piece of advice on decision-making is this.  When you have tried everything you can think of to make a decision, and it still doesn’t help.  Follow the path with the heart.

And remember, most decisions that you make can be undone and changed.  Besides, you benefit more from the mistakes that you makes anyway…

A Fresh Start

If you’ve been reading conscious-growth.com for awhile, you’ll know that my posts tend to be all across the board.  I have some serious ones, some ridiculous ones, and some that just shouldn’t have been posted in the first place.

Everyday it’s been a struggle to write, I’ve been scatter-brained, unorganized, and unmotivated.  I keep getting caught up in new money-making strategies, and new faster ways to grow a blog.

I’m a planner, and if you’re like me, you know exactly what I mean.  I make endless plans of what I’m going to do, spending hours of my time making my beautiful, fail-proof plans, and never following through with any of them.

And because of that, my online business has been failing miserably, and so have many parts of my life.  I’m unhappy, and seeing very little results.

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately, trying to figure out what would make me happy.  What I could do everyday, and feel good about?  What would motivate me to finally take action?  I’ve come to the decision that I need to start over from scratch, and make a blog that I can be proud of.  A blog that can change lives.  A blog that is actually useful.

I’ve been writing for traffic, for leads, for money, and for a suite of other stupid things.  And for all of my “efforts” I’ve got a blog with dismal traffic, and relatively no value.  (Which is not what I set out to do… not at all…)

When I started this blog, I was naive to blogging and what it took to succeed.  I had mixed up ideas on how things would work, and what I could expect.  And I got lost in get rich schemes that has left me broke.  In more ways than one…

Now I am a year older, a year wiser, and I am refocusing my efforts in ways that will not only produce results, but give you the most value.  I have spent tens of thousands of dollars in online business courses and packages, and while I never really put any of them to practical use, I’ve gleaned away the golden nuggets that I plan to share here, with you.

Enough about new beginnings, it’s time to get down to brass tacks.  (Which is a phrase that I’ve never really understood… )

So here’s what you can expect for here on out:

1.  New Blog, New Focus, New Voice

I used to spend the majority of my time on this blog making it look good, filling it with unfocused ideas, and writing in a way that I thought that other readers wanted to read.  Not so anymore.

I will be taking all of my previous posts and putting them onto a free wordpress blog on wordpress.com.  You can feel free to read my previous articles there.  There is some value to be had there, and I don’t want to take that away from you.

The post that you are reading right now is the first post for my “new” blog,  (I am keeping the same domain, and probably the same design for awhile to come…. Those are two things that I did like about my blog. ; )

This blog will be conscious-growth.com “Personal Development for Entrepreneurs.”

While you may not be an entrepreneur, the topics that you can find here will still benefit you.  (And right now, you probably asking “how would that work?”)

Take a minute to think about what an entrepreneur needs to focus on:  Productivity, Time Management, Balance, and nearly everything personal development.

I firmly believe that the more you focus on personal development, the further you can go into life.  You can develop an amazing work ethic, obtain true happiness, and learn how to navigate this life easier and more efficiently.

The more you develop yourself, the better.

Consider the alternative.  You stumble through this life with illusions of reality, making stupid decisions, and generally living in an unhappy state.  If that is truly what you want to experience in this life, then by all means, go for it.

But if your a little more sane, like the rest of us, this blog will cater to you.

Topics will include:

• Blogging
• Marketing
• Writing
• Productivity
• Personal Development Tech
• Exploration of Consciousness and Reality
• Emotions
• Motivation
• Passion
• People Skills
• Communication
• Goals and Goal Setting
• Getting Things Done
• Business
• Balance
• Purpose
• Relationships
• Success Building
• Planning
• Problem Solving
• Physic Development
• Health
• Purpose
• Sleep
• And many many more (Seriously, I can pick like 15 more topics to write on…

Another noticeable change will be my tone of voice.  I seriously spent hours going over the text that I had written making sure that it would be acceptable for all audiences.  And let me tell you, it was not fun.

From now on, I will be writing in my own voice.  It’s going to take some getting used to or both of us, but I don’t want to create something artificial here.  I want you to be able to see the real me, and everything in between  (which sounds weird when I say it like that… )

2.  Quality Posts that Matter

Blogging is an art form.  And if you don’t believe that, head on over to wordpress.com and start one of your own for free and see how that goes.

It takes time to develop a good blogging style and rhythm.  It takes time and practice to make your posts useful and practical, let alone developing a good sense of flow.

And it comes with TONS of practice.  The best bloggers out there have hundreds of posts on their blogs, and every post they focus on making better than the last one.  After a some time passes, they start to internalize certain blogging tools of the trade, and then you can really see a difference.

Their posts just seem to flow, and you want to keep reading.  They know how to create value that is easily digested by the public.

Writing is a craft, and one of the biggest crafts in blogging.  One that continually needs to be improved and focused on.

From now on you can expect posts that matter.  Posts that will have impact and meaning.  Posts that are useful.  I might fail here and there, but I want you to know that I will be continually focusing and improving not only for my sake, but for yours as well.

3.  Social Presence

Just like my blogging, my social presence has been scatter-brained as well.  While this blog will be the main focus of my efforts, I intend to have a big social presence.  From Twitter to Facebook and everything in between, you can expect to see me there, posting value content, and posting regularly.

The reason for this is twofold:

• I want to put as much value into the internet as possible, to benefit as many people as possible,
• And it will be good practice for me to continue developing my art.
• (Plus it will be fun to get to know you all on a more personal level like that…

4.  Interactivity

In terms of interacting with me, I have done a terrible job, and I know it.

As one of the new purposes of this blog, you can expect every e-mail to be answered (until it gets to the point where I literally can’t anymore)

You can expect nearly every comment to be replied to, and that goes for my social presence as well.  It will be harder for me to keep track of my social presence, but I’m working up a system that will help.

I want to interact with you, the reader.  My dear reader…

Why?

If the purpose of this blog is to help people, then what better way than on a personal level?  I want to personally help you grow.  I want to be there for you.  And I want to grow WITH you.

5.  Experiments

There are literally hundreds of personal growth experiments out there to try, and I’ve tried a few in the solitude of my own home.

No more.

Every experiment that I try, I will be posting about here.  I”ll keep detailed logs of what helped, what didn’t, and how I’m doing.

One of the first experiments I am going to try (or re-try, I guess I should say), is polyphasic sleep.  I don’t want to use the space in this post to tell you about polyphasic sleep, but I’ve written a good intro article to it, which you can find here:

Polyphasic Sleep

My last attempt failed, and I still feel to this day that I have unfinished business in that area.  Plus, it will give me even more time to develop this blog and breathe new life into it.

Here are some links to successful polyphasers… if you’re interested in taking a vacation from sleep.

Polyphasic Sleep: Steve Pavlina

Polyphasic Sleep: PureDoxyk

Polyphasic Sleep: Tes

And if you have any experiments that you would like to see tried, feel free to e-mail me at wawomack7@gmail.com.  I’d be happy to be your guinea pig.

6.  Transparency, Honesty, and Integrity

Too many blogs are being made for the sole purpose of yanking money out of your wallet.  Not this one, and not ever.

I will never make a recommendation to a product unless I personally believe in it.  And even then you can expect a brutally honest review of it.  Because some products will work well for some people, and some won’t, and I will be the middle man to help you decide.

I promise to always be completely open, honest, and transparent with you.  I feel like we can’t have a trusting relationship that will benefit us both unless I do that for you.

I have nothing to hide from you, and nothing to keep from you.  We’ve all done things that we aren’t proud of, and we are all still doing things that we wish we wouldn’t.  And that’s okay.  It’s all part of learning to grow and evolve past them.  Learning how to lean on and trust others is part of that process.

It makes us stronger, and it helps us to grow faster.

If you choose to judge me for it, that’s fine.  What matters is how I feel about myself, and that I don’t feel then need to protect my ego by putting up a false image.  If that is something that you feel you need to do, then go ahead, but it’s not for me, and it’s not for this blog.

The Wrap-up.

Well, that’s about it for the new and improved conscious-growth.com.  I’m sure I’ll come back and add some more later, as I develop a new focus and a new direction.  I hope we can share this journey together.

And I want you to know, as cheesy as this sounds, and as weird as it might make you feel inside, I love you.  Even though I have probably never met you, and I probably never will, I genuinely care about your well-being, and I’m here to help.

Talk to you Guys Soon,

Will
