As long as you found it helpful mate, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks

"each to their own"

I thought that was a good description Jynx. If you want, I've got an opinion on confidence and the whole drinking thing etc, we'll chat soon. But it's all about having a Huge Ego WITHOUT being arrogant whatsoever - dreadful current example but you could do worse than thinking about Tom Cruise. The fact that he's 5'7", 50 years of age, very successful, and although certainly very good looking is no 'pretty boy' with a perfect body should say something to everyone...

Hhahaha jynx needs me to supervise him and boss him about for this

Ok not got massive amounts of time but ill start this as of today,

I have been taking action, ive built daily meditation and reading into my daily routine. Today I am going to –

1) Complete a tender submission at work
2) Meditate for 20 mins before I go out
3) Attempt to gain access to some sort of social circle in freshers halls

In Manchester all of the partys happen in uni halls and I want to try and infiltrate a social circle and build up friendships with girls and guys in uni. Im not going out to try and fuck a girl that goes to uni becuae any of the partys I get invited too ill have to spend with them. Im more focused on building up connections in the Manchester city centre and fallowfield area which will allow me to meet loads of fit birds and gain an awesome social life.

I don’t really have a plan to do this exept try to chat to guys and girls that can help me get into this position. It shouldn’t be too hard.

Ohg and my last taking action point is to write bars and spit lyrics to Kowalski and lyrically drop his arse (ive been putting this off for ages)

I wanna hear this one!

Not done much atall this weekend! Went out on Friday and ended up getting jumped outside the club so ive had a massive headache all weekend.

Went for a few beers yesterday and got chatting to a few girls but nothing major ive noticed that im getting far to drunk and making clumsy mistakes like spilling drinks on people and just general shit that shouldn’t happen. My new aim is to not get wasted because my chat is so much better when im tipsy.

My aims for today is to drink only water and eat fruit which ill buy at lunch.

I need to record my lines to drop Kowalski which im going to do first thing tomorrow. ive not been in a good place this weekend so its time to sort my shit out and get shit done!!!!

Morning fellas,

I went to meet Shak (old member) last night… hes been travelling for over a year so we decided to go to meditation together. Shak is the type of guy who will talk to anyone in any situation and when I arrived he was with a french guy named Alex.

Shak has spent the last month in Paris with his girl who is from Hungary. He was telling me that in the airport this alex caught his eye as quite a cool guy, he dresses well and he thought he was a designer of some sort.

After getting chatting Shak found out that his new friend is moving to Manchester and hes a hairdresser. Alex doesn’t speak much English so we had to use google translate to talk to him. I felt sorry for him at meditation because he couldn’t understand what to do and didn’t really get why we were there so he just sort of sat for an intensive hour daydreaming.

Alex has 2 more nights in a hotel in the city centre then he either will have to pay for more nights at a hotel or potentially find a place to stay.

Me and shak have taken it upon ourselves to try and help him find a job and a place to stay as efficiently as possible. So, couple of questions for you guys that might help me sam and alex take action to give him a good base to start his new life in Manchester.

1) What are the chances of his finding work as a hairdresser in Manchester speaking little to no English.

2) Whats the best and fastest way to help him find a work position

3) Most places need a guarantor or 6 months rent upfront if hes not in work so how can we get around this

4) Any websites for French speaking people looking for house mates

5) Realistically how long do you think this will take to pull together

any suggestions willl be a big help

If you check for places on Gumtree and try to find a private listing that's not through an estate agent you could negotiate not having to have a guarantor, otherwise its pretty much airbnb or knowing somebody who may have a room going.

I would guess he's probably going to have to learn at least a functioning level of English to be able to get about, otherwise the odds are pretty much against him.

No im far from it to be honest, for some reason ive just lost all motivation.
Barneys back in manchester this week so im going to have a sit down with him and try to come up with some plans. im finding it difficult to find the time to write on here but i have been making daily lists on my phone.

Im just tired all the time and cant find it in me to take action with much.

Im going to do the Stoptober smoking thing and give it a shot to quit.

Im also going to use this next month as a trail month to see if i can take control of my spending. i will write how much i spend everyday and what on and try to figure out what i can do without.

Its a bit of a hard time to get back into the gym because im having issues with my gym account. im going to sort out a new gym for the 1st of october (pay day) and try to include this into my daily lists.

I feel like im in a place where im sort of ok with everything thats going on around me and i need to just get the drive back to better myself and not just go stale. Theres more to life than what i am doing at the moment and i need to just realise this!

Try and get a bit more active you'll find its probably zapping most of your energy by not going to the gym so try running or something that will keep you active but doesn't necessarily cost money or take you too far out of the way of your normal regime. You get off at the exchange quay tram stop right? Get off at Salford Quays instead and walk the rest, its great time for a bit of reflection before starting work.

I'll be joining you for Stoptober (drink) so stick with that one.

As far as spending goes, first commit yourself to logging everything you spend. I use CashControl (Google Chrome web app), it has an Android and iPhone app too. Once you start seeing how much you spend normally in a month (without budgeting) you can start to curb your spends, and you'll find that it will actually occur naturally since you have full visibility of what your spending. Get into a regular habit of doing it, and stick with it.
Small steps mate, small steps.
