"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.

I injured my ankle last thursday, it was a severe sprain. I had just started my jogging to cut up 2 days before. I am worried because this injury, the doc says might take a few weeks to heal. My cutting cycle is going to suffer and so are my squats and other leg work outs.

Any suggestions?
 

"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.

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.

Follow the doc's advice, rest. Maybe decrease your calories a bit since you won't be active. It sucks but if you keep working out you risk making the injury worse or at least increasing the time it will take to heal.

I agree with the previous post. Ankle injuries range from mild to serious. Yours might not be too serious, but you should follow your doctor's instructions anyway. Play it safe and your foot will heal faster.
