How to restart the program...

[brakz]

Hi Guys,

I started with brainev about this time last year and got up to the end of level 4. However, life took over and attempts to restart failed. I dont want to waste the time i spent, and i look forward to the time when I can do it 2-3 times a week as maintenance, but how do you suggest I start up again now 8 months on!?

Start from scratch? Pickup where I left off? Do a week on each level back up to 4 again?

My life is a lot more hectic now and as a result I probably need this more! 

Cheers!

Wow...how busy can life be??

Hi AJ,

Have you thought of listening to a session before you go to sleep. Sure you may fall asleep, but that's no big deal. And I think starting with level 1 again is a pretty good idea.

I don't think you've wasted any time. BrainEv is not exactly a "start so you can finish" program. I think it's more about the process.

Relax and enjoy,

I would start the program all over again, that way you get the sensation of a new beginning and won't worry about the possible 'lost' effects of the program level you had already completed. It's kind of like any other process; begin again so that you train yourself to be disiplined enough to go through the routine in a different way this time so that you can complete it and reach your goal. Find a better time for your practise or a better place so the 'life doesn't take over' and have you stopping again.
I would, first, though, take some reflection time and think about why it is you want to begin again, where you may have 'gone wrong' the first go-round, and to think of new strategies that will help you improve upon your re-do of BrainEv. If you had a journal the first time, read it again so that you can 'see' where your focus was. If you hadn't had one, maybe this time you should so that you can follow your path and make the best of it....again.

Good luck to you and I hope that no matter how you choose to go about it, that you just DO!

Have a great day.

Blessed Be!

Thanks for you replies..

My life is extremely random including a lot of travel and a pretty intense business so I cant always set aside a time each day as each day is usually quite different! Therefore, it is a real effort for me to do this consistently and the thought of 6 months religiously doing this might be a bit unrealistic. I might end up doing what I did last time and having to quit before i complete again. As I mentioned, and as Karl has posted, I want to get to the level where I can fit in a maintenance session maybe once or twice a week when I have the opportunity. If i could somehow get to this level in three months I would be more likely to achieve and stick to this.

Apparently the changes are permanent and im assuming that a decent refresher might be enough to bring me back to the previous state. I think Im going to try to do a week on each level up to level 4, with a day off and then complete 5 and 6 as full months, giving me a three month completion target. 

I just dont think i have the patience to start again! Thanks for your help guys..

This isn't a terrible idea.  I would look out for signs of stress or over-entrainment moving this fast but the changes that took place months ago should still be with you.  There's no regression. It's like riding a bike. Once you have the talent, it's with you forever. Ride it every month and you'll never go rusty.

Just to update the thread.. Two weeks into the rapid restart having finished level two I must say I can certainly feel the benefits and the clear relaxed mind coming back to me!

Look forward to the end of the month to see if I feel like I can pick this up again properly at L5!
