Self-Effects:
I was feeling ok and somewhat tired pre-p this morning. Did some chores and morning routine very early this morning, @ 5:30 am. On my way out, completed my application. After application, no immediate effects. About 5 to 10 minutes later, I was feeling more alert. Alone with my mones in the car, felt more of a boost of ‘lets get things done!’ feeling while making phone calls on the way into the office. A has been under the weather since the weekend and called in sick today. I think this has most if not all of her focus now.
Effect on Others:
This is 1/2 hour after application, co-worker in my same office was a little sluggish this morning because his 2 year old kept him up. I asked him how’s it going, you’re looking a little off today. He goes and let’s me know about his late night adventures with trying to get his 2 year old to sleep. He seemed more alert and animated after talking a few minutes. These last few days I haven’t really seen him as he and I have been busy with separate projects. I think this is the first time he’s been exposed to IS. He normally will interact with the usual greetings but if he is busy like this morning, after that will focus on the issue at hand.
My supervisor after speaking with him a couple of minutes relaxed and seemed to have more suggestions for a project I’m working on. We had a good session of collaboration. It was smooth.
I spoke with some people in the warehouse and they seemed unusually upbeat. Normally, they would be a bit down in the mornings, and slowly warm up during the day. Not morning people. So, was talking with them a bit more than usual and trying to get them in my mone cloud for at least a couple of minutes. Ended up the convo was more upbeat and social than just work related.
NOTE: I’m curious to know if because of my self effects others are tuning in to me, or the mones are working here, but more likely a mixture of both.
On my way out of the office, a little over 5 hours from application, I got this curious hit. Usually, the cleaning crew comes in about 12 to 1:30 pm. I guess the were a bit late today and heard them come in getting their cleaning equipment into our office area. I normally won’t be here when they come or quickly move to the conference room where they normally begin and I continue to work from there. If I do see them, I will say a quick hello and smile. Sometimes, an older lady comes in, maybe early 50’s, and will just stick to cleaning.
Anyway, I’ve been in my office all morning and haven’t been anywhere else in the building for too long. I have been on my computer and on the phone during this time.
This older cleaning lady, whom I don’t know well at all, who I’ve spoken with maybe 4 times in all the time I’ve known her, after coming to my area and setting up to start her cleaning cycle (it takes a couple of minutes to get thing over to our office area for cleaning) comes over to my desk and smiles and says: “Oi! Como são coisas?” Hi, how are things? or something to that effect. She speaks Portuguese and very little English. We had, a long while ago, spoken about languages, Spanish and Portuguese, but very briefly. That was like, the first or second time we had spoken about it, years ago!!!
At first I was surprised by her even directing a word toward me, then I responded with a smile and said: “Perfeito, obrigado por sa pergunta. Lamento as habilidades de língua pobres.” I speak Portuguese very poorly as I don’t practice it nearly as much as my Spanish, which I speak more often, and Spanish gets in the way. Basically, I said something like, I’m fine, thanks for asking, sorry about my poor language skills!
She responded with a larger smile and: Não, não, muito bom você está fazendo muito bom. Or something like that, basically, NO NO, you speak very well!
I responded again with a smile: Grazie, (Smiled widely and thought about it, this was Italian for thank you, DOH! Did I mention that I spoke Portuguese poorly!?!?) Then said, Obrigado. Agradecimentos. Basically means much obliged, thanks! She smiles again and says: Trabalharei aqui. Está bem para você? I’ll be working here, is that good or ok for you? I said bem bem, because I was just leaving so I said Bom dia! And she smiled and waved at me. Later I thought about it, that means Good Morning and it was the afternoon!!! Latin based languages are very picky as to when to use these greetings. Oh well!!!
The normal routine would have been a brief hallo! and her saying hallo and looking away and doing what she came to do! I’ve seen her maybe 2 to 3 times a month for a couple of years now. I don’t see anything different than the IS in my office over the course of the morning and I still have a faint scent of IS almost 6 hours later. Still pretty bizarre! And that wasn’t even Instant Openness!!!
Conclusions:
3x IS will give me a feeling of being alert mentally and I would say a satisfaction with just life in general. A feeling of everything will be fine, let’s just smile since we are together! The effects lasted about 5 hours. Also did feel that my appetite was diminished during the day. I worked through lunch and got something to eat when I left the office.
Effects on others seem more obviously inclined to be content (I wouldn’t call it Happy). A relaxed vibe I would call it as well. These effects were seen after about 2 minutes of exposure, but again, not on everyone.
I’ll try out 4x IS then 5 x IS the next couple of days.
