I was super hesitant to start moving my feet. I was a homebody, was afraid to disappoint my family / kids by missing out on their stuff, was not all that motivated to meet new people, wanted to save money (you see where this is going, I made tons of excuses to not go out and do). It was inertia and fear working against me.
In the last year alone I've ramped up my GAL to the point where I should have been all along, ENJOYING MY EXISTANCE on this this earth.
Some things that I've done, just in the last year:
Guitar Lessons for nearly 6 months, I use You-Tube now.
Swimming to get back into shape
Total gym visits 3/week for weights or cardio.
Coach 2 soccer teams last spring, one this past fall and this spring.
Gone to the shooting range 4 times (planning on 1/month with a few friends moving forward).
Joined a Roller Derby Team
Taking figure skating lessons (into level) to learn how to skate better
I have joined two new gaming groups (up to three now, usually once a month groups)
Went Kayaking bunch of times
Help with school sons activities & field trips
went fishing more in last year than the 10 previous combined including ice fishing, kayak fishing, river fishing and shore fishing.
Concerts at theaters / live music / dancing at local places
Got involved with school district on facility committee for building upgrade process
Have been to 9 different breweries in four different states
There was a ton of 1-off stuff too, like racquetball, rock climbing, paint nights, Book Club, writing seminar, country line dancing, fan boat tour through the glades...whatever I could think of that I've never done...that I wanted to do...I just said Eff-It and did it (I know there was more stuff, you get the point).
This sort of thing will get you more socially active, healthier, happier, more exciting, interesting AND MORE ATTRACTIVE.
Like I said, it took a really concerted effort to get my feet moving, but holy-hell once I did...I've not had as much fun by myself, with my kids or with my wife since we were kids.
It is something you CAN DO and it only takes a single step forward to get started...we have faith in you!!!
