Here’s looking at you, kid… (Part 2 of 2)

If you haven’t read Part 1, here it is and please read it first…

If you are interested in kicking it up a notch, here’s what you need to do…

1)  Google search ”yacht clubs”, “sailing clubs” and “sailing lessons” for your area/vicinity and bookmark each of the websites in a new folder, or write down all the website names/contact phone numbers…

2)  Find out when their next “Open House” is going to be for their sailing school then RSVP for you and a friend. 

3)  Learn a little bit about sailing on your spare time, it never hurts to acquire knowledge about anything.

What usually happens is there’s either a bbq or some snacks and pop for sale (very affordable, to cover costs), you mingle with the instructors and club members, and they take you on a FREE 20-30 minute boat ride on a 27-33 ft sailboat with a few other prospective students.   Great place to get trigger-happy with each others cameras again.  They’ll even get you to steer the boat if you want.  Now that’s a sweet photo-op.   And who knows, you might fall in love with it and when you’re not a starving student anymore…. You might just take up sailing.   There’s a lot to be said about the freedom of going wherever you want to go, not using fossil fuels to get around and having a 2 bedroom  mini-cottage (kitchen, bathroom, bar, etc.) below deck. 

NOTE:  Your “word-of-mouth advertising” afterwards of your experience (and your date’s experience) will only help the club in the future anyway, so you don’t need to feel guilty for the free ride.

Enjoy!!

Want another idea for an affordable date? Then read on….

What you will need:

- a nearby park, forest, mountain or beach!

Now, here’s what you do…

It’s not about how your hair looks or how much you weigh or what brand of clothing you wear.

Unless you want to end up in a shallow relationship where you think you feel content but deep down inside you’re not, what you need to do is this:

1. Visit your neighborhood library (or bookstore if you’ve got the cash to spend) browse the self-help section and pick out a book that calls for you. You’ll know which one is the right one for you by how you feel when it’s in your hand. Grab a bookmark and start reading it. You’ll find with books like these, that you may need to stop after a page or three to sit and absorb what you’ve read, to then continue later or the next day.
2. A baby step at a time, think about 1 thing that you don’t like about yourself and try to learn more about why that is. What triggers you to feel bad about yourself. Is it because of what other people have told you? Or is it something you keep telling yourself? Learn more about yourself, but be kind and gentle with yourself.
3. Learning about yourself will help you learn to fully love yourself which will allow you to more abundantly radiate love outwards. To bring you closer to being able to feel love for all living things. Can you imagine how awesome it would feel to feel strong love, right when you open your eyes in the morning? and to hold that feeling throughout your day? It IS possible! It’s a long, slow and often painful journey, but it’s TOTALLY worth the trip. FEEL how good it would be to feel this way, and allow yourself to feel it DAILY. This will allow you to manifest this way of being, into existence. All while reading your book and reflecting on who you really are.

If you’re stumped, try reading “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, or “The Saint, The Surfer & the CEO” by Robin Sharma. These are great fiction novels, with a clear lessons.

The book that made ME realize that I wasn’t crazy and also thoroughly changed my life, is Living in the Light, by Shakti Gawain.

Meet a Guy At School, the Easy/Better Way.

Do you want to meet a guy at school but don’t want to meet him in the pub or the library, and you don’t want to date anyone in your class?

This is what you do:

• Go to the Student Life Centre at your school (or find the club link from your school’s internet site) and get a list of all of the existing student clubs.  If there are any that you are curious about, even if it’s something you’ve never done before or never considered doing but sounds exciting enough to check out, ask for more information and GO to a meeting or event!! You CAN bring a friend but it would be much more wholesome and real experience for yourself to go on your own (you can always bring a friend into it later if you really want to).
• If something about (or someone in) the club catches your eye at a meeting/event, sign up!  Getting to know people while doing something fun is not only FUN, but you learn a lot about people’s true personalities such as their level of competitiveness, respect, thoughtfulness, intelligence, tact, creativity, etc.
• With the club, you’re bound to spend time with that guy that caught your eye, so don’t rush into anything, be cool and keep it real.
• A good thing about a club is that you can leave at anytime if you feel you need to.  Don’t be afraid to leave a club and check out another one, or check out a few from the start and stay in the one like the most.

There are a lot of options for clubs out there such as Salsa Dancing, Swing Dancing, Running, Anthropology, Chess, Art History, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Sustainable Living, Astronomy, Yoga, Parkour and the lists go on!!!  Find out what’s available at YOUR school!

Good luck and enjoy your time away from your television set and your computer.

How to find your Dream Guy! PART 1 of 4

Wanna know how to find your dream guy? It’s easy, and frighteningly difficult at the same time. What is it that you want in your dream guy. Is there a checklist? He has to make a ton of coin, love children and want lots of them, drive a nice car and will do whatever you say? If these are the things that are important to you, good luck and the rest of this post isn’t for you…. yet.

If your dream guy is someone that you will be completely in love with, who is completely in love with you, is intelligent, open minded, worldly, thoughtful, you bring out the best in each other and who appreciates you for who you are and who’s vision and ‘wants’ for the future resonate so well with the both of you that you can both clearly see yourselves in it together? Together in a healthy relationship, moving forward on a journey that will evolve but can evolve with the both of you together? How can you improve your chances for this kind of dream guy to want you? He’s also looking for his dream girl too, you know.

Therefore, we can conclude that in order to be the perfect match for your dream guy, you have to become his dream girl (and by this I don’t mean to become something that you’re not, but to grow into becoming the best person that you can become for yourself, which in turn will make you more desirable to your potential dream guy!).

So we can deduce, reiterate and redundantly be redundant and say that it is safe to say, that the secret to finding your dream guy is to become your dream guy’s dream girl.

What does this mean? It means that you need start letting go of all your baggage, learn about yourself and what triggers your insecurities, poor reactions, bad behavior, judgments of others, etc. Learn to take care of your body and choose your thoughts wisely. Your body and mind will benefit and your overall presence will become more vibrant, alive, and visible to others (potential partners) who are also in that better place.

Are you ready to start that journey?
