Learning to Stay at Level 6–7 Changed Everything

Before, I’d let stimulation jump straight from 5 to 9.

Now I treat level 6–7 like a training zone.

If I can stay there calmly for 30–60 seconds, I stay in control.

The key wasn’t stopping at 9.

It was managing at 7.

Curious — do you consciously monitor your arousal level, or just react when it’s too late?
