Journal Post #1
Okay, so this is my first real journal post. Today, I've started to really evaluate my position on life. The main thing I've been focusing on the last couple of days is removing the negativity from life. I'm approaching everything in life with a positive attitude. The biggest thing is that I've decided to take a
proactive approach to life as opposed to a
reactive approach. I've realized before that I always just took life as it came and whenever I was hit with a brick wall, I complained about it, whined about it, and let it get me down. There's a ton of stresses in my life right now, but I'm taking it like an Alpha would and focusing on it with precision and focus as opposed to emotion.
I've started to take steps to fix up my life instead of hoping for the best. I have filed in the forms to switch out of my current University program and do something that I enjoy instead of something that's supposed to get me a good job (a program which I hate). It's something I've been afraid of for a long time, but I've done it, and it feels great. I'm planning out my summer right now as well. I have decided I don't want to waste any time at all. I'll be taking courses, starting my own business, and I want to go out 4-5 nights a week and practise PUA.
As far as my immediate life is concerned, I'm going through every microcosm of my life and re-evaluating it. I am slowly implementing a regular exercise regime, as well as getting on a strict diet plan. I'll be working on that heavily over the next few weeks to get myself into a strict routine. Besides that, I'm also working on being sociable. I'm trying out some of the approach exercises, like approaching 10 people a day, generally smiling and being very approachable. So far I've found a lot of positive responses. Today I chatted up the cashier at the 711 and he complained to me about how the hot girls always go to the other cashier and he never gets to serve them, and we had a great laugh about it. It felt good interacting with a stranger like that. I'm still very anxious, especially when it comes to talking with women, but these exercises are hopefully going to help me out a lot.
Another thing I've been doing this past week is watching some movies to observe Alpha Males and see their behaviour and try to emulate some of it. Ocean's Eleven seems like a REALLY good one, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt epitomizing Alpha male (as well as numerous other characters in the movie). What are you guys's opinion on O11 as a PUA film? There isn't much interaction with women, but the body language, tonality, attitude etc. seem very alpha to me. I would love to get the opinion of these boards on it. I will watch Fight Club and Top Gun next week.
One last thing: I've noticed a common pattern in my behaviour, and that I compromise my own comfort a lot for my friends. For instance, I'll take everything they say very strongly, and I'll go out of my way to make sure they are satisfied with me. I qualify myself to them a lot, and get intimidated by them in typical Beta-fashion. I am reading through Carlos Xuma's book "Secrets of the Alpha Male" and will be talking in later journal posts about my attempts to apply his suggestions to life.
Anyway, that's what I got for today. Till next time, thank you for reading!
