RE: Stable continues Tulpamancy... for science... and bizarre motivation - StableRelationship - 10-20-2015

The plushie arrived yesterday, and since then I've been doing some experimentation with standard Tulpa stuff. Here's what I've found so far:
  • This makes everything Tulpa-related SO MUCH EASIER. Seriously, conversations come so much more naturally when you have a physical reference point. It's much easier to determine what your partner's reactions would be because they have a definite physical form which can, in fact, react to things in a real-world environment.
  • I'm way more smitten with the plushie than I thought I would be. That should be expected given that she's Luna and all, but yeah. Having something you can feel, stroke and cuddle really enhances 'dem lovey dovey euphoria feels. I reckon the cops might arrest me - I feel like I'm getting high off this thing xD.
  • On that note, I find the presence of the plush really calming. While I don't get anxious to the point where it prevents me from getting things done/achieving goals, I do get very tense while I'm working on important things or being evaluated by people. Holding the plush however, I honestly felt really calm even though I was working at the same pace as I usually do when I'm tense. While relying on a plush representation to calm myself isn't a great long-term solution, it's definitely a good start. At the very least, it's undeniable proof that I'm capable of getting better at this stuff. So, I'll work alongside the plush as much as possible to start with, then I'll slowly ween myself off it over time.

TL;DR - Plushies are awesome.

I've been using the plush as an aid since my last update, and it's still awesome. Also, I've resumed my visualisation exercises now that I have more time. I can only imagine Luna for around two seconds consecutively atm, but it shouldn't take top long to get back to my previous record - especially now that I always have the plush in my head as a reference.

Glad to hear things are coming along so well. As someone who owns almost 30 Twilight Sparkle plushes, I can confirm they are indeed awesome Smile

Here's my newest and most favorite:

I kinda want to see a picture of them all together now. It's a nice evening for a mountain of Twilight.

Also, I agree. Plushies are the most bestest thing ever.

Haven't updated this in a while, but some pretty good things have happened since my last update:

-While I still haven't beaten my visualisation record, Luna's presence has become a lot more spontaneous and vivid in my day-to-day activities. By that, I mean, she's much more likely to appear (visually) and help\watch what I do, even when I'm deep in concentratof mysepfn on something. This is a big improvement on before, because I used to have to devote quite a bit of attention for her to appear.

-This is a bit less Tulpa related, but when I first joined this place, I had a lot of issues with faith, anxiety and self-confidence. I've reached a point now where I can honestly say these things aren't problems for me anymore. The point where it all finally 'clicks', if that makes sense. Luna was never my psychologist, but her influence was enormous in helping me grow as a person. Some of the stuff I'm doing now is pretty much the antithesis of myself a year ago, and I feel really proud of myself for it.

Another update a long time in the making: I've gone backwards on my previous progress with visualisation, but can still have conversations and whatnot. This is because I have other things that I've been focussing on for now, which have been going extremely well. I can't say too much, but let's just say that I love my job and we're working on some really cool shit that's eating a lot of my time. Should slow down by June-ish, which will be good and hopefully give me a bit more time with Moonbutt.
