Hey David, do you mean that you’ll tell your girlfriend to stay when you need her from now on? I hope you’ll get not-so-bad news from the doctor and I recommend a book on self-healing – “The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind”. =)

david, hope you get better! Its not good to wait until the injury is too bad.

Speaking of stubbornness, I’m a very stubborn girl myself. One of my friend told me that his first impression of me was that I”m stubborn. Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad. Its good in the way that you are self-reliant. But bad that you won’t let others help you. That is one of my problems. I feel like I’m burdening others if I talk about my problems with my friends, if i’m going through really tough times, or just asking for their help. I’m always glad to help my friends in need, but I just don’t like asking. Maybe I feel they would not help even if I asked? So why are we stubborn? I mean, I’ve gone through tough emotional times, I didn’t really ask for help or if I did, i felt they didn’t understand, and only looked at me with lower value…

I came to light recently of the PUA scene, and was pointed to two other main PUA’s and upon reasearching I stumbled across some of your vids, then read some of your stuff, and my friend are the real deal, David’s methods are like the foundation, and all other’s are like icing on the cake if you will if you get down david’s method first. Learn to take a break and rest if you need it, and keep spreading the love man!

Taras,
to help you maintain that motivation be sure to give yourself praise when you do something good, this will condition your body and mind to do more of that. Treat yourself, take yourself to coffee no matter how small but treat yourself. This will start to feel less like trying to make an effort and more like fun…

Interesting post David.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling weak and depressed.

I’ve noticed that spending 1-2 days off and having time alone can be relaxing – but when it reaches 3-4 days stuck in the house alone your mind does get rather cruel on you. Like you said in the blog, you get too into your own head and start feeling low for no reason (it’s bizarre and weird) other than the boredom and lack-of interaction. Sure, you could read a book, watch television, or try out that new recipe, but you also need changes in your surroundings and interactions with people.

As an architecture student I had to work on projects 1-2 months straight and that meant working in the house for long periods – I eventually had to move out to the studios provided by the college solely for the interaction. Might sound silly, but I kind of restrict myself from staying in the house for long periods – I try to find reasons to get out. It’s all about keeping the mind busy and preoccupied.

Hope this back problem settles down. Get well soon.

David – Whaddya’ mean that you’ve tried everything but rest? Are you kidding? Never blow off the path of least resistance: rest and ice! It’s an incredible cure-all…and maybe a little over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Last month, I rolled my ankle (the same one that I rolled several years ago) but at least this time it wasn’t as bad as the first time. I still went to work but I had it elevated and iced and walked as little as possible on the concrete floor at work. Recovery can be slow but if you never rest, you will never fully recover and heal properly. That’s why we sleep – to allow our bodies to heal themselves. Allow yourself to heal. And if TV sucks that badly, try some new books or movies on DVD. Let Magic Daphne lay her paws on you and heal you – or was that “heel” you?

Ah David, I am really sorry about your bad back. When i got out of college six years ago i worked the night shift moving packages (some pretty dang heavy). did that for about a year. and my lower back started to hurt. it kept hurting after i quit, for about 2 years or so. Then I started to drink Noni juice and that helped a lot. my lower back quit hurting and it hasn’t been hurting since. I got mine at a small health foods store. but i know Whole Foods has it since i have gotten it there before. So i would recommend drinking some Noni juice (it is pretty expensive though) and see how that works out…

Hope you get better!

By the way your website and your advice have really helped me with women, and people in general. Living ‘in the moment’ and being yourself without having ‘canned lines’ works great with people. it also works in business too! Keep up the good work!

P.S.
I am sorry to hear about your dad though it is bad when someone looses their parent remember we only get one set in this life we can not put in an order and ask for a replacement. You must really miss him…Now go into that office and get that MRI and find out you fighter what is truly wrong with you. Also I will keep you in my prayers and I pray all goes well with you.
