picture this…

working on biz, and it’s fun. you’re playing it like a video game.

night comes. you decide to scroll some tiktoks/reels…

and it hits…

you see others having fun, with girls, popping bottles…

you start to get fomo… your subconscious doesn’t think logically. it thinks in terms of now.

your conscious thinks “i’m grinding, i’m gonna get there soon”

but that doesn’t matter. the subconscious always overrides

it looks for survival. it thinks about escaping death.

“i’m going to die alone” (subconscious fear)

that overrides, and forces you into a state of survival.

“i need to go and find a girl” (subconscious desire)

you then finally go to sleep. but the last thought you had before entering dream state was about your subconscious desire to avoid dying alone…

you wake up… and you’re procrastinating everything. you can’t work when you're literally in a state of subconscious panic…

and everything crumbles…

this is a cycle that keeps on repeating, it causes you lose months of momentum in the long run.

and it’s bad because it makes working hard. it shouldn’t be. you should find working more pleasurable THAN meeting a girl. get it?

and i’m gonna tell you exactly how to do that.

and it doesn’t come from any surface level methods like “deleting instagram” or “just focus on yourself”

it’s about integrating your anima into the subconscious so you don’t ever feel like you NEED a girl.

you think you’ll need one, but then you get one, and you think “i wish i could go back to the grind days”

then you leave her, go back. and it’s never fun again. so you seek out another one.

this pattern is so common i’m sure that it’s literally stopped people from getting rich. and it’s scary.

and the only way to get rid of it fully is by integrating the anima THROUGH work (i.e falling in love with your work)

so, let’s get into it…

hear this…

have you ever been in a season in your life where you just loved working?

you just worked, and worked, and you couldn’t wait to get up and start working?

that’s a period in your life where your anima (feminine brain) was fulfilled.
