I've been going through some really good material over the past few days and last night I decided to put it to use. I don't think I had ever really experienced what you call "state" before, but decided on my way to this bar last night,

I simply decided to smile more and laugh the whole night, even if stuff wasn't funny...do just laugh my ass off like I'd just seen the comedy of the century. I was perceived better right off the bat.

I can say with a certainty that I reached state last night just by doing that stuff. The problem I think I noticed though, and I'm not sure if this was a problem, was that as I realized I could keep getting away with more and more, I started being abnoxiously outspoken, and way more extroverted-like, almost like more of a cocky asshole than I'd want to be.

Is this common for people who are new to "hitting state" and just really starting to see some success?

I definitely owe it to this forum; if it wasn't for you guys pushing me in the right direction I never would've found the stuff I needed to know it's okay to start trying out new realities. I'd love any feedback. I'll keep these comin' as I keep progressing.
