Work hard?…Play Harder!

As humans we learn by repetition.  Therefore the more one on ones I teach the more I learn, particularly about my students.  One of the key problems students have is the type of lifestyle or pattern of behaviour they have adopted through life.  This hinders their ability to get themselves back into the swing of socialising with NEW people.

Most commonly I hear things like:

‘I’m tired when I get back from work so I can’t go gaming…’

‘I don’t know anyone to go gaming with’

‘I don’t do any social activities, I can’t go to a club as I can’t even dance’

‘I don’t have any sociable hobbies’

This is all well and good if you are trying to describe your past life but not if you want to move forward and improve your social skills.   This is about finding your drive…

When I come back from work, I am incredibly tired.  However, and here’s the difference between myself and these guys, I get myself past the fact that I’m tired and look at the positives of going out.  The fact that it’ll be more fun than staying home or the fact that I’ll meet fun new people that I can go out with again or that I’ll learn more about game or that I’ll have a great story to tell the next new person I meet, really and truly the list is endless…

So I can tell you this and it will obviously help your game, but the question is…will you get yourself ‘up and at ‘em’.  Ask yourself; How much do I want to change my life?

So where is the take home message? Well it is really in the title…
