I’ve been on a review roll lately, and while some of you are loving it, I figured it was time to take a break and get back to the shit that is supposed to make this blog complete. I have plenty of other products that are going through their testing phases right now, so know that more hard-hitting and in your face reviews are on their way.

It’s time to talk about an issue that always manages to peek its butt-ugly face every so often, I call it the lame-boring syndrome. There are no pills for it, no organizations to raise money for it and the medical community sure as hell doesn’t know about it (maybe because half of them have it?). Yet, a shit-ton of people suffer from it. You know who you are.

Think about this, why does your job bore you? Why doesn’t your life have excitement? Why can’t you seem to enjoy things that bring joy to others? Why do you have boring friends? Why do you always get sick? Why does your workout suck? Why doesn’t anyone love you? Why don’t you have the body you want? Why can’t you attract the opposite sex?

… It’s because you’re BORING. Your life has no fire, no excitement, no passion or direction. You’re playing it too safe, you’re not taking chances or doing things that push you out of your comfort zone. You gladly accept mediocrity instead of demanding higher standards from life itself. You’re scared to ask for more, you’re too weak to stand up for your beliefs and you’re terrified to fight in order to win. You’re a pussy and will forever remain one… Unless today, right now you decide to change.

Change for the better. I don’t care what you have to do, do what ever it takes and learn to be NOT boring. Do things that are completely out of the ordinary and find some joy in them. Stop giving a shit about what people say and do things that are butt-fuck wild. Overload your senses with joy, fear, excitement, pleasure, anger, passion and just send your emotions on one hell of a roller coaster ride. In the end, you’ll be better for it.

What’s more, you can capture those crazy feelings and have your very own feel-good push button for times when life seems dull. This is called “anchoring” and it’s a technique used in NLP. Basically, once you feel yourself going through an emotion you have never experienced, you perform some kind of memorable physical gesture (like say, rubbing your ear lobe) and “anchor” that emotion to it. The next time you want to feel this emotion, just visualize the setting in which you felt it, and rub your ear lobe. Bam. And you thought the Staples easy button was cool. Pfft… Noob.

Now I’m not some NLP expert and nor do I claim to be. In fact, I bet that anchoring is probably a much deeper and complex technique but I’m just telling you what I know. For example, if you see me rubbing my chin… It’s anchored to the times where I felt “heightened” and “excited” after coming up with an awesome idea (happens often). The idea itself doesn’t matter, but the emotion of having a light blub moment is something I wanted to capture. Now if I’m ever in a deep thinking state, or trying to solve a problem…  I usually end up rubbing the good ol’ chin. While this doesn’t turn me into an idea pumping factory, it definitely gets me in the proper state of mind and more often than not, I am able to solve most of my problems. It hasn’t failed me yet.

But lets get real. What good is knowing about “anchoring” when you having nothing to anchor? What good is this awesome technique if you’re a boring little rut?!

Exactly, the technique by itself is useless. It’s time for a little change. Go be exciting, accumulate some kick-ass stories to tell people, start demanding a more enjoying and fulfilling life because you know what, in the end you just might find yourself becoming slimmer, happier and more attractive to others around you. Just remember, do it responsibly. I’m not giving you a wildcard to turn into an idiotic party animal that tends to gravitate towards illegal shit. I’m telling you to start living an exciting life… There’s a difference… You lame cupcake.

THE MISSION: Name one exciting thing you’ve done in the past week in the comments below. If you haven’t, go out and DO something exciting then post. Stop thinking, pondering or procrastinating about it and do it. Make shit happen.
