A Dab Will Do You.

Do you remember last time you were walking down street and almost got whiplash because someone passed by you with an overwhelming smell? Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses, which leads us to rule number three: always remember to smell good. Some smells take us back to childhood and others remind us of something very specific. The same applies to your cologne. But why is cologne used in first place? Its purpose is twofold: it becomes your “signature” and sense of smell is heightened when things start getting hot and heavy. Again, less is more. No need to drown yourself with stuff, keep in mind that when it comes to cologne, a little goes a long way. The best places to apply your signature are inside of your wrists, your neck, and even your chest.

Attention to Detail

Sometimes it’s little things that make a difference and rule number four reminds you to pay attention to detail. We all know women have an eye for minute and slightest thing can turn us off. So solution is simple boys, don’t overlook small stuff. Just like women like carpenters, some women also think scruffy is sexy, but on your first date, go with clean shaven look to be safe. And not only are you going to brush your teeth, you’re also going to break out dental floss for this one just to be extra safe. Make sure your hair is neat and doesn’t hold an entire bottle of product in it. Remember to clean those nails. You may look like a man’s man with dirty nails, but it’s a turn off for women. Finally, keep accessories to a minimum. You can wear your watch and necklace or a ring but that’s it. If you’re wearing more jewelry than your date then we could have a problem!

Of course, not all women are same but most will agree that less is more when making a good first impression. So remember four simple rules: don’t dress like you’re going to watch game at a buddy’s house or like you’re about to walk down runway; smell great and put in effort to care of details. You’re sure to have plenty of second, third, and fourth dates!

Cowards can never be moral.

~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

Some may feel that last quote by Gandhi above is a bit harsh, but point is clear: cowardice is a bad and undesirable quality. It’s something we don’t want.

What we want is to be more in touch with courage within, so that we can reach our highest potential, achieve more in life, and make a positive contribution to society.

With that in mind, I would like to share with you a technique on how to use film or television to help unleash courage within. (By way, you can use this technique whether a show is based on a true story or not.)

You see, it’s not so much “what” you watch, but “how” you watch.

What do I mean by this? (You’ll understand in a minute.)

Basically, technique goes like this:

Just before watching any show that has characters who exemplify courage (of course, nearly all shows have them), give a direct command to your subconscious mind to reinforce “courage” in your being every time you see and feel it during show.

What you are doing is establishing a clear objective/purpose for watching show—in advance (something a lot of us don’t normally do).

For example, just before a show starts, say following to your subconscious mind (internally—not aloud):

“John/Jane (or whatever your name is), reinforce courage in my being each time I see and feel it.”

(Tip: I found that it’s best to give your subconscious mind a name—usually “your” name—since you’re merely talking to another part of yourself. Also, when you give your subconscious mind a command, or an instruction, trust fully that it will carry it out. Avoid doubt at all costs. Belief is very powerful.)

What this technique does is reinforces “feeling” of courage in your nervous system.

When you make it a habit of doing this, with all shows you watch (we’re talking about shows that include courageous characters, of course—again, nearly all do), you’ll notice a positive change in your life. In beginning, change may be subtle, but as time goes by, it will become more obvious.

By way, this can be used for any trait/quality you want to reinforce in your being (ex. love, sense of justice, etc.).

For example, if you wish to reinforce many qualities in your being in one sitting, just say:

“John/Jane (or whatever your name is), reinforce courage, love, and compassion (add as many qualities as you wish) in my being each time I see and feel them.”

(In fact, if there’s a particular show you like, one that has a role model of courage—you may want to access DVD/VHS of that show and watch it several times, while applying this technique. It would be even better if you could fast forward DVD/VHS and go straight to “specific scenes” where you felt courage strongest. That way, you don’t have to watch whole show all over again. Besides, you already know how story goes.)

As you can see, this technique can be highly beneficial, since you will not be watching shows for sole purpose of being entertained. Instead, you will also be watching for purpose of reinforcing a highly desirable quality, such as courage, in your being.

As time goes by, you'll be more and more in touch with courage within. It will be unleashed more naturally and automatically when you need it.
