I'm just 2 days into Stage 3 and I'm already noticing a few things come up. One is aggressiveness again. I'm more or less in a better mood but that may be the fact I had fun at the salsa dance Tuesday night.
I danced with one girl Tuesday night and it was apparent that she was lacking in confidence. So I asked her if she danced salsa before. She said no and she says she has 2 left feet (If I had a Dollar every time I heard that one...
) and I said, one foot will always be right. Just have some confidence. The lessons start and she goes over to the beginner's group and me over to the intermediate group. After the lesson, I ask her to dance and she's still struggling but that's okay. So after the dance she asks me "how did I do?" and immediately she gives herself 2 thumbs down. Whatever. What a crappy belief system! I told her she did good despite it's her first time. Then I taught her some basic bachata when they played some bachata music.
It was the Halloween costume night so I was watching how some of them were dressed. One very tall girl was dressed up as a pirate or something. She stood about 6'3" and I was bantering a bit with her costume. I asked if she got her costume at Wal-Mart (that's an obvious shot right there!). She got it at some Halloween costume place and pulls out one of those plastic toy swords and waves it at me
Aside from the salsa night, I've been going to the gym more lately which seems to be putting me in a better mood.
Its still too early for me to tell what stage 3 is doing, aside from me feeling more assertive and aggresive. I'll give it some time and see what happens.
