			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Monday nights great success, I was on a high and stop pushing myself further.</p>
<p>My plan was to go out Tuesday night, <strong>however I didn&#8217;t because at the time I was &quot;feeling tired&quot;</strong>, this was probably just an excuse as I was worried of having a bad night compared to the previous night.</p>
<p>I get this feeling from time to time, it&#8217;s like a huge period of motivation to change my life circumstance which is a reaction from a period of negativity and seeing the reality of my life situation. Where the motivation propels me to action for a brief moment but then I quickly get caught up in my comfort zone, get become happy for a bit, but don&#8217;t take steps to keep going forward.</p>
<p>I guess this means I have to release on my success barriers so I can go past them. Here are some releasing points for my success barriers</p>
<p><strong>*Being happy uses energy and burns me out     <br />*I don&#8217;t really need girls, I&#8217;m happy with just getting a few positive reactions from girls and then not bothering to take it further      <br />*Getting girls will mean I have to create huge lifestyle changes which will be hard on me and stress me out      <br />*I&#8217;m scared of failing further down the line      <br />*Sometimes I just can&#8217;t be bothered</strong></p>
<p>I also went out Wednesday night, and didn&#8217;t really have as much of a good time as I did on Monday, I felt like I was going through motions that I&#8217;ve already been through time and time again and was under stimulated, this funniest bit was when a girl said to me &quot;OMG you have such a serious face on that it&#8217;s not even funny&quot;, and then the next time she came round she says &quot;hello boy, that never smiles&quot;.</p>
<p>One good thing I experienced was that I was completely numb to negativity and rejection, previously this would really mess with my head but today it felt completely at ease and didn&#8217;t really care about what sort of reaction I was getting from other people.</p>
<p><strong>Masturbation</strong></p>
<p>After Monday night I had a good celebratory wank, two in fact, and never felt so good in my life. Tuesday morning I had two wanks and today (Thursday) I&#8217;ve just had two wanks, I think having a wank before doing something challenging that will stretch my comfort zone is a bad idea, as it makes me stagnate and not bother working hard for anything. I do like wanking. So I should really limit wanking to only doing it as a reward.</p>
<p><strong>Sedona Method</strong></p>
<p>I also need to make sure that I proactively seek out opportunities on releasing, I&#8217;m falling behind on this and need to keep it up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK my last couple of posts were really quite negative, I&#8217;m not sure if this was down to my attitude (which would mean I created this negativity in my head using my mind), or it&#8217;s down to just brain chemical imbalances due to taking 5htp, a concoction of sleeping pills, and my sleep clock going all over the place, in the last week or so.</p>
<p>Yesterday, I got a renewed sense of confidence about myself, I went to salsa for the first time in a ages.&#160; <em>I will embolden any thoughts and feelings I have in order to release them, they don&#8217;t hold any significance to the reader</em>.</p>
<p>I went out today, the day was quite productive, I was focused and didn&#8217;t procrastinate much. I got to the salsa bar, and got slightly dissuaded, <strong>it triggered a negative feeling of me pressure a being obliged to do something</strong>. Normally I would just walk in and wait for my friend inside, but today I decided to call my friend before he went in. <strong>I didn&#8217;t want to be waiting inside by myself </strong>for my friend and lose state.</p>
<p>I got in and hesitated&#160; a bit before buying the ticket for the class,<strong> I felt a suppressing feeling of not wanting to stand out and move people out the way</strong> before going to the ticket booth. But with the help of a friend I eventually got there.</p>
<p>Salsa class was a bit annoying at first there were maybe 6 or 7 more guys than girls. But I decided to not think about it and just get on with the class. We did a couple of basic steps that I&#8217;ve done loads of time before, this was good, I deliberately went to a beginners class because I wanted to get my confidence back. Very soon I was getting compliments from girls saying that I&#8217;m a really good lead, and they&#8217;ve had the best dance with me. This felt good.</p>
<p>I had chemistry or (good times) with about 5 of the girls.. That&#8217;s probably about half the class, so I wanted to chase them up later for dance after class.</p>
<p>But I was really nervous to ask, I guess because I have this feeling inside me where I feel like I shouldn&#8217;t ruin a good experience by pushing further and potentially ruining the experience.</p>
<p>I went to the bar and and two girls from the class were there. <strong>I proceeded to ignore them and pretend they&#8217;re not there. Because I felt like I left a good impression on them, and it would be bad to ruin that first impression by falling flat on my face.</strong> After a few awkward moments standing there, the girl talked to me, and we spoke about salsa (wow that was easy), and hit the dance floor. While dancing I enjoyed it for about 2 minutes, and then I got into a mental rut where I was thinking <strong>&quot;shit I don&#8217;t know any more moves the girl looks like she&#8217;s getting bored&quot;</strong>. We rotated partners (there were 2 girls and me and my buddy) and danced for a bit. I think the first girl fancied me, but I didn&#8217;t push it to take it up a level.</p>
<p>I made an excuse and left, and later went and danced with another girl, I wasn&#8217;t really confident in the way I asked her, I felt like I was intruding in the girls conversation, if I was more relaxed I would have noted that and approached with &quot;sorry to bother you&#8230;&quot;. But the girl said yes to my surprise and so, we danced.</p>
<p>The girl didn&#8217;t have much of an expression, we did some basic moves and chatted about salsa. I wanted to raise the energy up a bit, so I got a bit more excited and started doing some flash moves that I just improvised, and making loud cheerful expressions, she opened up a bit and showed me some moves. It was fun, she showed me a move where she&#8217;d lean on me on my side, and I&#8217;d lean 45 degrees to the side, and then I&#8217;d kick off on my standing leg and bounce her off.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think it was salsa, but it was fun.</p>
<p>Last dance was the best, with a girl who was really into me, I didn&#8217;t fancy her, but I loved her spirit and energy, probably the most dance chemistry.</p>
<p>After that we left to wander around.</p>
<p>So 1 hr of fun salsa class, with 4 good social dances.</p>
<p>Other emotional blows that I may have missed from this write-up and need to release on   <br />*Keep wanting to end dances and go back to my comfort zone.    <br />*Keep wanting to escape away and retreat in a quiet zone    <br />*Not exploiting a good night, and pushing my limits, to see how far I can push things    <br />*Happy by just having girls be attracted to me, and not going for more</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for today</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a rehash of my beleifs that I hold inside me now, after doing some sedona method on the previous list</p>
<p>*I&#8217;ve been dealt a bad hand in life, and haven&#8217;t had the best start, now I need to move forward and change my destiny.<br />
*I just lack a bit of experience with women, and I need to be proactive in being around more women.<br />
*I have never persisted long enough with a girl to know if the method or not is working.<br />
*I need to sort out a few life issues I have which are holding me back, and once I&#8217;ve got these sorted I will have a solid foundation<br />
*Hot girls are bitchy<br />
*Women are complicated</p>
<p>at this point I am struggling to find negatives, as you can tell from the last two points I&#8217;m really going for broke here.</p>
<p>*Women tend to take a while to familiarise with and open up<br />
*Women have men around them all the time, and so are a bit difficult to get access to<br />
*Women are difficult to read</p>
<p>Now I need to bring the focus back into my personal beleifs about me</p>
<p>*I&#8217;m an underachiever, who has potential for much more<br />
*I am not proactive in looking for and grabbing opportunities<br />
*I let my fear control me sometimes<br />
*I&#8217;m scared of big changes and risk<br />
*I have an affinity with my comfort zone, which I can&#8217;t let go of<br />
*My lack of sexual prowess worries me</p>
