Okay so. I was trying a mix of the julia method, and the void state method. I put on a subliminal, because that gets me in a shifty mood, and kept saying I am. And I very quickly entered a meditative state. However!! I got lazy, and kept thinking "oh I'd rather just be daydreaming." This is a problem I have. Whenever I'm bored, or even slightly upset, I start to daydream to escape those feelings. (I'm a maladaptice daydreamer. I daydream like 6 hours a day...) But yeah, that really is something which always throws me off kilter. As whenever I try to shift, I start daydreaming. And for me that is not something which I use for shifting, because I also use it to fall asleep. So my brain already associates it with sleeping. So using it to shift just ends up with me asleep. I think what I need to do, is train my brain to be okay with boredom. (meditation) And not immediatly let my brain try to fill those spaces with daydreams.
