I sprayed Instant Openness on my head and around my neck about 2 hours before I went to the gym.
I sware, every time I spray this stuff I just feel like blabbering about stuff, whether it’s what I did that day, thoughts on my mind, whatever.
It just gives me this feeling inside like I need to be talking. I LOVE IT!
Anyway, I go to the gym and I see an old friend. We chat it up for about 10 minutes. He was finished his workout and was about to leave, but we kept talking and it flowed so easily. I ended the conversation because I wanted to start my workout. Was this a hit? Not really, but I do believe the self effects of IO my be more extroverted.
I see another friend who goes to the gym frequently. I told him about a new supplement I’m taking and he seemed really enthusiastic about it. I told him this “stuff” makes me feel like I’m cracked out on Red Bull, without the jitteryness or crash. We kept talking about it and I ended the convo again because I could see we would have just kept talking if I didn’t. Again, I think it was mostly self effects and my overall attitude. But hey, what does it matter?
45 minutes later he approached me again and asked how I was feeling from the “stuff” and I told him I can’t stop working out. He ate it up. Another conversation ensued. He enthusiatically brought the topic of some old pics he found of when we were kids, and in a way he seemed like he was doing it to gain rapport. Good convo, I ended it short because I really wanted to lift.
A little later I was looking for the 30 pound barbell to do a quick set of bicep curls. I asked some big dude next to me if he’s seen it anywhere and he said no. I non-challantly cracked a stupid joke about how someone took it home with them because they liked it so much. He ate it up and laughed.
Usually when I go to the gym, I am in “workout” mode. And I don’t talk to anyone.
Now that I wore IO to the gym I can see this stuff definetely effects me, and others. Overall, I think this is because IO puts me in a really relaxed, outgoing mood and I think that’s why. This stuff sort of gives me a little giddy feeling in my gut and makes me want to blabber and listen to other people blabber just for the hell of it. There is no goal or purpose to this, other than the fact that I am interacting with another human being.
In closing, I love IO. I’m going to wear it everywhere I go. I know the consequences this might have, but I’m comfortable ending a conversation if it gets to the point where I could care less about the words coming out of the other person’s mouth. Usually that doesn’t happen, but when it does I’m prepared.
Jesus this post is long. I think I’m cracked out on IO. Better end this now before I write a freakin’ novel!
