Half joking and yet... not. Here are my results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phe4iUp_ix8

So incredibly grateful to Daniel Ingram writing the MCTB2 - being able to self-diagnose as a classic chronic dark nighter was a good kick in the right direction!

Nice! Thanks for posting that. 

You might want to think about starting a log to keep track of the details. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it's distracting, but for many people it's worth trying.

Yes I agree! I did keep a log for the month (I'm in the habit of doing so from a magick background), it just didn't translate to video well so I ended up giving a highlight reel... which in hindsight ended up making my efforts seem quite flippant, but that wasn't the case at all! I hope that came through for some.

Thanks for your reply Martin.

That's great! Keep going. An interesting thing about insight is that it runs on two types of tracks. The type you can see, and the type you cannot. Both have benefits (and risks).

Ah, I remember well the day I achieved enlightenment after an intense 30-day stretch of no-holds-barred hardcore butt-to-the-cushion meditating. Everything changed that day. I immediately became free of all suffering and anxiety. My emotions were 99% positive, super joyful and happy all the time from then on. The 1% being the slightest vapourous whiffs of negative emotion from time to time - because you know, I'm still human after all. My life since then has basically been a series of spontaneous dharma teaching events, attended by crowds of devoted students, well-wishers, and curious on-lookers. In fact as I'm writing this now, one of my students is massaging coconut oil into my back, made from the finest Himalayan coconuts--a gift from the Dalai lama in recognition of my services to the Buddhadharma.

Hahahaha!! Thank you for the belly laugh! Hey, and when you run out of Himalayan coconut oil - I'm pretty sure there's an Etsy shop that stocks it exclusively for enlightened ones
