I finally understood!!!!!

I had a revelation today. At first, when I was learning body language I came accross Mystery's body rocking technique. I never understood it. I come from a french background so whenever I read that I thought of a rocking chair. It made no sense to me to be leaning forward and backwards to appear as if I was about to leave at any moment. I kind of let that go and forgot about it until now.

Its pretty slow at work theses days since most of my clients are on vacation. So I was surfing the net on my lunch time and ended up on Mehow's website. He's got some stuff there that you don't see very often, live in-field footage. I had to chek it out. There was a video with Mystery in there where they pickup a bachelorette party and in the first part you see Mystery occupying the obstacles while Mehow works the set. And there it was, right in my face the famous body rocking.

I feel kinda stupid not having figured it out before. There was very few explainations about it and the ones I got were not very good. The way I see it is like this. You just have to imagine having a pole stuck up your ass that comes out of your mouth, kinda like a chicken on a BBQ, and you just move slightly from left to right and back and forth. Kinda like stretching your back.

I'm gonna try it this weekend and try to mix it up with some of Cajun's advanced body language. I'll try to create an impression that I'm a kind of spirit floating in the air, kinda like Jim Morrisson. If you look at the movie The Doors look at his body language and you'll get what I mean.

Anyhow chek out Cajun's blog for the advanced body language posts (there are 3 parts). I've also added Mehow's page in my Website section so you can go chekout the footage for yourself.

Enjoy!!!!

Positive Thinking

One thing that really helped me back in the days was positive thinking. I used to be lost and didn't really know where I was going. I was really, I mean extrêmely negative about everything. I dropped out of school and started to abuse drugs in result of this. One day my father sent me an email. It was the story of a guy who has a lot of shitty things happening to him but he keeps plowing through it and never quits. He always saw the good side of everything, his wife leaving him, loosing his job, having accident with his car... EVERYTHING.

At first I didn't understand very well. But I printed it and stick it on the back of my bedroom door. Every morning before I started my day I took a minute or two to read it again. One day I told myself, I'm going to do exactly what he does, I'm going to focus on the positive things in every situation instead of the negative. That day was eye opening. For the first time since a long time I went to bed that night and though, I just had a great day.

Since then the sheet of paper changed. I don't read the same story all the time. Instead I write positive affirmation that I read out loud. It helps me be more positive dans to change my way of thinking on a daily basis. It usually take some time to really incorporate this to my core but it works over time. I've got help for great positive affirmations.
