Conversation

Socializing is an unconscious process due to the fact that 97% of our communication is non-verbal. It doesn't matter what you say but how. The self-consciousness is the main enemy in socializing. It is the root of shyness. If you don't think about yourself you are not shy. Consciousness is to be used only to make decisions. It is to make an intention of doing something. It isn't there to think about what to say, what to do. It is just there to control the sub-conscious so it doesn't project everything in your brain at once. It is like time (Woody Allen quote: "time is God's way of making sure everything doesn't happen at once). It is there to order things to do.So trying to consciously think about what to say is an error in thinking. Self-consciousness is there to limit your possibilities. DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT, MAKE A COMMITMENT TO DO IT NO MATTER WHAT. The rest is left to the sub-consiousness and if you let it go, in a short time you will connect with the super-conscience and it will be the best conversation ever.

Pattern Interrupt: I know what to do instead of the pattern but I still need to do a distinct interruption. I decided to use this sentence from the movie Starship Troopers spoken by Michael Ironside "YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER!!!?".

Visualize and imagine several times a day your ideal-self. Step into that visualization. See through its eyes.

I remembered this while SMSing with a girl today. Always fo the OPPOSITE of what a woman tells you to do. Always TRUST YOUR GUT.
