No. The amount of preparation changed as I got better. What I described doing before calls earlier in my journey was much more deliberate than what I needed later.
What did the earlier preparation involve?
In one call, I described spending thirty minutes beforehand working on how I felt. I might lie on the floor, on a couch or in a chair and picture how I wanted to feel when the call was done. That was part of what I mean by an Intentional Dream.
I pictured finishing the call and feeling excited. Then going to get a cup of coffee or doing something enjoyable afterward. The feeling was what I was working on.
What became shorter?
I did that preparation repeatedly before calls. Then, once I got better, I would only do it for a few minutes. When I got really good, I was mainly doing it for a huge call. That is the progression I described.
I still cared about the routine and how I felt going in. The routine had changed as I gained experience.
I've also said that most of what I keep doing has become subconscious after so many years. I still use it. I don't have to describe a long preparation before every ordinary conversation to explain that.
