Cause they need you to bring the woo.

Let me set the stage. It’s day 7 of an 8 day stop in San Francisco. The previous 6 days had been unreal. VIP rooms, table service, having an amazing time in a huge range of situations and all in all, partying it up in the Bay Area and living life awesome.

We are in a hot club downtown and I’m not really feeling the crowd. It’s not my usual style of club, a little more urban than I’m used to. I lean over to one of my wings and advise him of my thoughts and how we should roll somewhere else. He turns and looks at me and says:

Man, it’s a club, just like any other club, you aren’t feeling it, not that it’s not to be felt. you are just choosing to not to.

Boom, he totally destroyed my reality and he was right. It wasn’t the club that was sucking. It was me. I quickly readjusted, did a few 3, 2, 1, Clap, Woo’s.

What the hell is a 3, 2, 1, Clap Woo?

It’s a tip we stole from the guys over at Real Social Dynamics. It’s a powerful way to get yourself excited. Here’s how to do it:

Stand up.
Count down – 3, 2, 1
CLAP (and I mean a leave your hands stinging hard clap)
and then YELL, at the top of your lungs WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

What this does is builds up your excitement, in the same way football players yell and bang on each other’s chest pads. It elevates your heart rate, releases some endorphins, a shot of epinephrine and brings up your current emotional state.

It’s vitally important that you yell as loud as you can, you can do it anywhere anytime and I promise people will forget you did it just as quickly as you did. It’s also really important that you follow this up having fun, talking to people, dancing, doing a shot of tequila, etc. It will help the programming stick and help you fall into a higher state faster.

I turned my night around and ended up having a great time.
