"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I know it's important to get sleep etc, but...Sometimes exams don't wait for sleep.

So, is there anything I can eat/drink (or anything I can do, for that matter) that's legal and at least semi-healthy (i.e. not pop or coffee) that would help keep me awake for studying? I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.....
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Absolutely. Exercising regularly will increase the amount of energy you have throughout the day. It will also help you sleep better when you do go to bed.

So, one word. Exercise.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Excercising and eating VERY LIGHT and eat mostly raw living foods. You will have way more energy. Or don't eat at all just drink juices for a day or two and you will have increased energy. Eating and digesting heavy foods puts your body out.

Some nature-stores (don't know the english name, the stores with energy drinks made from roots and stuff) have energy drinks that help a lot. Ask there.

Otherwise, taking a break every hour and breath like this 15-20 times (preferably if you go outside and do it). Make sure you have your back straight and your head looking straight forward.

Inhale 2x
Hold breath with air in lungs 8x
Exhale 4x
hold breath with no air in lungs4x

4X stands for counting (1, 2, 3, 4).

Eat healthy and drink alot.

Energy drinks are good, red bull sucks, you just pay for the brand, you can get exact same product with same taste for a third of the price of a Red Bull.

When you study, keep a good posture and take deep breaths instead of shallow ones.
