we chose a day
what would i say to someone who's about to give up on this? it's tough, for sure. i’ve been in that spot, feeling like i’m just wasting my time and nothing’s going to change. my advice would be to just keep showing up, even when you don't feel like it. it doesn't have to be perfect. some days, my practice was literally just a minute or two, a quick run through the assumption from the app, half-believing it, half-just getting it done. other days, i had these amazing, vivid sessions. but the key was the consistency of opening the app, neville ai, and logging something, anything. that builds a habit, a kind of internal momentum. you might not see big, dramatic shifts. the changes can be really subtle, almost easy to miss if you're not paying attention. like, when we finally made plans, it wasn't a huge, earth-shattering moment; it was just a natural part of conversation. if i had thrown in the towel a week before, i would've missed that quiet, easy unfolding. so, don't get hung up on the timeline or how it's supposed to look. just focus on the practice itself. even a small effort, regularly, adds up. you're not failing if you have doubts or don't feel it perfectly; you're still doing the work. just keep putting in the time, trust that the consistency is doing something, even if you can't see the full picture yet. it's not a sprint, it's just about showing up.

The story
i started channeling others because we'd had no plans on the calendar for a while. it felt like a weird, empty gap, you know? usually, there's something on there. for 66 days, i kept up my practice, logging 23 sessions in the app, neville ai. i used the assumption tool a lot. the generated assumption "it is settled now: we made plans again." became my focus. i'd repeat it, trying to really feel into what it would be like if that were true. some days, it was a real struggle; i felt disconnected, like i was just saying words without any real conviction. other times, though, it would just click, and i could genuinely feel the ease and familiarity of having future plans already set. it wasn't a smooth, linear process; there were definitely moments of doubt and days when i just went through the motions. but i stayed consistent with the practice itself, coming back to it. then, in a very natural way, the suggestion to meet came up in conversation. it wasn't forced or planned; it just flowed. we chose a day without going back and forth at all, which was really nice. it felt easy and familiar, like how things used to be. the plans were made, just like that, it just sort of happened.
