But let's consider this...
Kidd, you already have the mindset that you are great, awesome, the shiz, etc. But did you always have this? When did this arrive and how? Did you ever used to believe that you weren't? I am curious.
From the personal development work I've done there are two fundamental schools...
1) Be present, engaged in what's around you, be aware, let go of your thoughts (this is more along the lines of what you are talking about Kidd, though I know you wouldn't say it this way)
2) Become aware of your negative thoughts, beliefs. Reprogram with the ones that are positive, that serve you, so that they become automatic. (Affirmations, visualizations, etc)
In the past I worked with number 1 but it didn't get me the results and mindset I have now with women. Number 2 is working for me very well now, and my reality has shifted. Let me correct that, I did see it before but I wouldn't allow it in, because of psychological issues. Women have always checked me out as far back as I can remember, just like most every guy. But until I dealt with what I believe about myself and went to correct those crappy beliefs, I always felt I didn't deserve underneath.
I feel more at peace and content all the time now, and things are drawn into my reality. Of course some of those "beliefs" I've been reprogramming are from you Kidd, along with Cory Skyy, and one's I come up with on my own. Number 2 doesn't mean you aren't present, it's just actively attacking those negative beliefs when they arise and creating what you what, so that eventually the tape the plays in your head is one of beliefs that support what you want. Of course you must be very clear and committed on what you want and the beliefs come much more easily.
Sounds like I'm talking about going to the bathroom number 1, number 2 -
Kidd - you mentioned something about "reality" - that seeing those signs are just reality. But that's not true - that's your reality that you have created. Most men don't see that reality like we do. I think you are glazing over what you believe underneath to create (or perceive, if you prefer) that reality.
I'm not trying to change your mind, but I'm seeing some things I feel you are skipping over in what reality is. Perhaps just seeing evidence is all it takes for some, but that's not been my experience. The inner has to be dealt with on some level whatever that is.
Create - awesome that you are getting to the gym, working on yourself etc. I'm about to go kick my own ass at the gym.
I do belief that affirmations in combination with taking action to better oneself, engage socially with women etc, to change oneself is a faster road.
Wisdom from Abraham Hicks says this (I've paraphrased) - it is easier to let go of a negative thought, then to tell yourself a positive one, but pure positive manifests things very quickly. Of course allowing (being present) is necessary otherwise you will miss it.
The trick is learning how to do that, because we are so programmed to compare ourselves to others, beat ourselves down, keep ourselves small and not step into our greatness by saying the now classic [phrase "I don't give a fuck what you think". All of us that do affirmations know that one well by now.
