(How did you get your picture up here??) Erika, That's brilliant! I'd be very scared to do so but SO relieved afterwards. I think I really should try that. David, You know me by now. How would YOU describe me? :) Gabrielle,

When ever i become stressed i just talk out my emotion and i feel 100% better and not anxious. Thank you so very much for your help. ~Todd R. Hebert Erika,

This is a total shot in the dark, but I wonder if you're open to an experiment? When you read various comments on the blog here or elsewhere, how does it feel in your body? I'm throwing this out there because tracking your feelings (for a lot of people) is one of the quickest ways to get out of your head. When you feel anxious, you know you're in your head. You can immediately move out of your head by tracking your feelings. Often just naming a feeling (anxiety, frustration, sadness) will give you some immediate relief. Just curious if this works for you? Todd,

On the more positive side i have lost about 20 lbs, never in the world would i have thought i could do it but after watching your videos i suddenly am able to.but thats not what i'm here to talk about. I wanted to talk about the contradicting things (at least thats how i view them) that are being said. For example like M i can analyze people's habits and movements extremely well (so much so that sometimes pisses them off). But when it comes so analyzing myself i can not do it. Maybe it's because i don't want to. My point is David, Khiem and Rich that you say to learn this lifestyle and be real with yourself however aren't you NOT being real with yourself when you live this lifestyle because you wouldn't normally do talk to girls or be fun but its just this more fun person who is being able to talk to girls so i guess my question would be to every one How do be yourself while still being able to adapt this lifestyle? not sure if that makes sense because i feel it contradicts what i say. lol It seems as if i should just stop analyzing people and have fun but on the flip side i also feel it helps to understand the person more. I think by writing this it has helped me see that i should just stop analyzing people and save that for the business world Hey everyone this is my first time posting and i just want to thank everyone’s input in David’s blogs because i actually read them and i want to give a big thank you to David because of helping to change my life this summer through your videos. sincei have started watching them i have become more out going and able to talk to more people for fun except that the only problem is that i am getting dry numbers.

Overall my friends see me as confident and sure of myself - I give off a peaceful & calm energy vibe. They said that when I am nervous or uncomfortable it shows at times but not all the time. I'll have to work on that - keeping my calm demeanor all the time. I also had one guy friend tell me that my clothes look outdated! He said he thought it was a GA thing??? I really haven't been keeping up with the latest in fashion, so I guess I will have to start doing that and ya know really --- I think it will be fun! It's an investment in myself too because I want to look great and feel sexy - not be seen as outdated. I don't know where he got that from though - it isn't as if I wear a red jacket and have a sparkly glove on one hand (like Michael Jackson in the 80's) - not knockin' any of ya'll if ya do.... btw, I did finally buy your Women's mastery series and I've started listening to it and applying it too! So - do I get an "A" on my homework? Ok – I did my homework! Overall my friends see me as confident and sure of myself – I give off a peaceful & calm energy vibe.

You have to think about how other people perceive you and then make changes to be the person you want them to see. Your own perception about yourself adjusts to fit whatever you try to be. How you cut your hair, dress, smile, smell, walk, act, talk, affect perception. If you become as physically fit and make whatever changes in your appearance that you can afford to, such as, braces, whiter teeth, colored hair, haircut, nails, skin, clothes. Be the best you can be, dress the best that you can, and hold your head up and look at people and smile. After that you will see changes, unless you were already doing this. And in that case what are you here for? Try one change at a time until you feel things changing. Just try smiling alone, it not only opens you up to people, but it makes you feel better in the end also. Think positive thoughts about yourself and others will too! Give it some time and don't expect results in a few minutes. Try it for a month and then reflect. I’m a woman, but this would work for a man too.

In the interest of connecting with him, I decided to tell him how I felt (uncomfortable) and told him I wasn't sure why I felt that way, which is true. Usually I do know why, but last night I sat with the discomfort for quite a while and I still am not sure. Why is it so much easier to connect with some people than others? I don't know. With the other guy, who I met at Burning Man, the connection was so instant and intense and immediate. I don't think it had anything to do with what he said to me, that's how fast it was. He kissed me within 5 minutes of meeting me (just a little kiss, but still). You said something really true though -- "there's something hidden there that's messing you up (or him)." Yes, it always points to something that needs to be healed, just not sure right now what that something is. A Course in Miracles says there are only "two categories; one of love, and the other, the call for love.” cheers, Erika Infinity,

The most appropriate examples are of kings, writers, world leaders, and even famous people in general, who may be charismatic, charming, and able like Rob, but whom go on suffering instead. Really something to think about. Really brings up the question of inner and outer priorities. Ya, no matter how larger than life you are, you have to belief in yourself.
