Yesterday and today were some of the best hits I’ve gotten recently.
Day 1 - 1s MX297 neck
Status all day. True, I picked it out for status but it went above and beyond what I was expecting. This is up there with MX292 as a classic.
I had my normal work day along with a set of meetings. I knew about the meetings for a while but never really got around to preparing for them. When meeting time came, I was only prepared for one of them. In that meeting, I completely rocked the flow. All eyes were on me as I spoke and everyone kept building on the ideas I was giving. Normally I do well in meetings and don’t really talk much but this day, I said everything that was on my mind and was met with only support.
In the other meetings, I talked much less but was still met with support. I think the status here came from knowing just what to say at the right time and nothing more. If I had been questioned further on my comments, I probably would’ve stumbled. I framed my words as open-ended comments rather than solid statements. To an outsider, that may have looked like I didn’t have much status because I wasn’t sure of what I was saying but at the meeting, there was definitely some status. The comment I heard the most was “Oh, that’s a great point.” Each of my comments steered the conversation or opened up more discussion.
Final thoughts: status comes in many forms. Sometimes you’re driving the ship. Sometimes you take the co-pilot seat and just nudge the wheel occasionally.
Day 2 - 1s MX347 neck
I’m not sure whether today’s hits were from MX347 alone or because I was feeling great from MX297, but today was the happiest I’ve been in the past few months, and I’m usually pretty happy.
Instantly after application I was put in a good mood. This has lasted throughout the day up until now. Nothing externally has affected my mood in any way.
I felt so good that I took the long from my car to my desk so that I could wander and visit with some people before starting my day. Everyone I talked to was very responsive and we had some nice chats. One guy was a bit of a downer and there was a slight delay on a work project but that didn’t bring me down.
Super hit: I luckily picked the right day to wear something that made me happy and upbeat. A manager from another department came over to talk to me about our teams working together on a project. I knew that this project was coming and I had submitted my name to be the lead but I was surprised that I was chosen. Normally in this position I probably would’ve gotten nervous or shaky. Not today. I was very collected as I spoke with the manager. My internal happiness was boosting my external happiness and I really projected that onto the manager.
Other effects: here’s a new one for me. On my lunch break, I smiled at every girl wearing sunglasses, while wearing sunglasses myself, and every one of them smiled back. They were too far away to be phero hits but the effects of the pheros led to me smiling at them. This is unusual because when I wear sunglasses and a girl walks by, I’m most likely not looking at their face.
Why else would I hide my eyes?
But seriously, today I felt like looking at every girl in the face and smiling. The return smiles are also interesting because it seemed like even through dark shades, people can lock eyes.
Final thoughts: I just had a really great day today. I need to look over my notes for MX347 but whatever it is, it’s working for me.
Since tomorrow is Friday, I may go with MX347 again and have another great day to end the week.
