"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So anyways can the high blood pressure make me get an headache after the workout? if so, should i be worried?

anyways i'm gonna talk this with the doctor or the personal trainer but i will only see them saturday and was kinda worried.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Obesity places a huge burden on your arteries, because there is a jacket of visceral fat(the hard, organ fat- very bad for you) blanketing your organs, impairing their ability to function, and metabolize food.

I have high blood pressure, as a result of eating too much salt, and years of alcohol and drug abuse. Working-out always raises your BP temporarily. The headaches can be a number of causes- but mainly stress, and lack of oxygen. Include more aerobics in your workout routine, and the headaches will dissapate.

salt is not a problem unless you already have a problem.

First off, regardless of your weight, BP will increase anyway with exercise. Your heart is pumping more blood, there fore BP will have to get higher as a workload gets higher.

As far as headache? Its possible, or it could be many other factors. Having a high BP though while exercising doesn't necessarily mean its the cause of the headache. You could have many other factors that contribute to it as well
