Become a Babe Magnet without Surgery or Drugs!

Written by Kathryn Lord


"I'd like to find a partner who dances. Do you?" my profile on Match.com asked. My now-husband Drew emailed that he was willing to take lessons, and that was enough for me. Non-dancer Drew’s courage to put himself out onrepparttar dance floor and to show in lesson after lesson his amateur status was truly impressive. We took private dance instruction for a year before our wedding, and as a result, got aroundrepparttar 123040 dance floor quite gracefully at our reception. Women are dying to dance. Any man who can ask a woman to dance, then take charge of what happens onrepparttar 123041 floor and move relatively smoothly to music, has enormous appeal. Fat or skinny, short, tall, or not even close to attractive, even old, old, old, a man who is comfortable onrepparttar 123042 dance floor has his pick ofrepparttar 123043 ladies. For whateverrepparttar 123044 reason, dancing intoxicates. Especially women. Few men can really dance, and those guys are onrepparttar 123045 floor constantly. Some men think they can dance and do get up, askrepparttar 123046 ladies, and have fun. But at least halfrepparttar 123047 men sit or stand uncomfortably onrepparttar 123048 sidelines with allrepparttar 123049 women who wish to be onrepparttar 123050 dance floor. We women don't get to dance nearly as much as we'd like to, evenrepparttar 123051 ladies who are good dancers. There aren't enough dancing men to go around. You can almost feelrepparttar 123052 yearning,repparttar 123053 sadness, andrepparttar 123054 disappointment in those women and between those non-dancing couples. Andrepparttar 123055 non-dancing guys? Pathetic. I personally know three women close to my age who met their now - spouses onrepparttar 123056 dance floor, and those ladies were great catches! Gentlemen and ladies, there's a message here. Guys: 1. Take lessons and learn how to dance. Leading well takes skill, but if Drew could learn how, so can you.

Who Is The Inner Critic?

Written by Skye Thomas


The inner critic is that voice inside your head that tells you that you aren't good enough, smart enough, talented enough, pretty enough, or strong enough. It nags and natters at you torepparttar point that your self confidence and sense of bravery is destroyed. You are convinced thatrepparttar 123039 voice is correct and that you really don't have what it takes to live out your wildest dreams. As time goes on, you quit setting meaningful goals. You become resigned to a life of mediocrity and dullness.

The inner critic typically begins during childhood. Unfortunately most of us have had parents, siblings, teachers, friends, and enemies tell us that we aren't good enough. They laughed in your face when you told them your childhood dreams. It's not always said directly to our face. Sometimes it's a subtle undercurrent. Maybe you lived inrepparttar 123040 shadow of a perfect older brother and your folks forgot to cheer on your successes too. Maybe your folks did everything for you as if you weren't capable of doing anything for yourself. Maybe you lived underrepparttar 123041 rule of a perfectionist, so everything you did was critiqued with a cold critical eye and never quite cutrepparttar 123042 mustard.

However it starts,repparttar 123043 inner critic gathers proof that it is doingrepparttar 123044 right thing by protecting you from making foolish leaps of faith. It will find proof of your lack and inability to shine. Every time you give up and quit,repparttar 123045 inner critic files that away in it's memory as proof yet again of your smallness. Years and years of layers of proof and validation coupled withrepparttar 123046 lack of a strong support system of cheerleaders strengthensrepparttar 123047 inner critic until it overpowers your own sense of drive and purpose. Your fears now rule your life.

Critics are not necessarily bad. They analyze and report backrepparttar 123048 results of their critique. The inner critic believes that he is protecting you. It's his job to keep you from doing harmful or foolish things. Inrepparttar 123049 caveman days, he would have told you that you couldn't outrunrepparttar 123050 lion so you'd best leave it alone. He would have told you not to try jumping off of that cliff because you don't have wings like a bird so you're not going to be able to fly. The inner critic is supposed to analyze your talents, traits, and abilities and then determine whether or not you've got what it takes to accomplish whatever whim you're entertaining. At an enlightened balanced level he keeps you safe and out of trouble. In overdrive, he immobilizes you and keeps you from doing much of anything interesting and adventurous.

Look atrepparttar 123051 most common phobia in America - public speaking. Now seriously, this is feared more than dying! How can that be? What is it we're afraid of? People will laugh at us? People will think we're stupid? People will be so bored that they'll fall asleep and snore throughrepparttar 123052 speech? We'll forget what we were going to say and just stand there with a blank look on our face? To stand up and speak one's mind isrepparttar 123053 ultimate test of self confidence. Do you really truly believe in yourself, your knowledge ofrepparttar 123054 subject matter, your ability to form words and sentences that make sense torepparttar 123055 audience?
