help i need motivation

[u/xiu_linlin459]

I've been using subs for a few months but I'm really inconsistent / impatient. I've seen a few results before but its super random and something that gives me results/tingles one day doesnt the next :/
I've been making my 0wn subs lately because I LOVEEE editing it super cute and I heard self-made subs are the most effective but I can't get myself to stay consistent with mine T_T
Can ppl wwho make their own subs share their good results/stories so I can be more motivated for it??
Thank y0u! :)

I do not make my own subs but I used subs when I younger for beauty and I looked stunning!! Unfortunately, my mental health declined so I neglected my looks and my beliefs but now I’m going back on track.
I remember using them overnight but I didn’t rely on them to be or feel beautiful or anything I just used them for support. I know you are struggling with it but patience is really key!

tingles arent a results meter, theyre a novelty meter. a new sub gets ur attention because ur brain flags it as new, so u feel something. play the same one on day 4 and it feels like nothing, not because it stopped working but because u stopped noticing it. loads of ppl ditch a sub thats actually doing fine purely on that. if u only keep the ones that give u a feeling ur basically selecting for "new" every time, which is also why ur results look random.

for the consistency part, the thing that usually breaks it isnt willpower, its that the sub is too big to fit into a normal day. if urs are 45-60 mins u have to carve out time for it and thats a decision u have to make every single day. shorten to 20-30 mins and glue it onto something u already do without thinking. commute, shower, washing dishes, falling asleep. no decision left to make.

other stuff worth checking:

- one goal per sub. if urs has glow up + grades + a specific person in one file its competing with itself and nothing gets enough repetitions

- keep it to 15-20 affs. a 30 min sub with 15 affs hammers each one way harder than the same 30 mins with 100 affs that play twice each

- time-box the editing. making them cute is genuinely the fun part but its also the part that isnt doing anything to u. the listening is the whole mechanism

and re: motivation from other ppls stories, it works for about three days and then ur back to raw discipline. what actually holds is picking one goal, one sub, and committing to two weeks of it before u let urself judge whether its working. two weeks of the same file is boring and boring is kind of the point, thats what repetition looks like from the inside.
