I'VE BEEN INTERNALISING A REALLY COMPLICATED SITUATION IN MY HEAD




WELL ACTUALLY, IVE BEEN INTERNALISING YOUR REALLY COMPLICATED SITUATION IN MY HEAD



Therefore, today’s blog is brought to you by the letter ‘Uuuuugggghhh’

No, it’s not displeasure at a loved one, a rainy day, and PMS all joining forces to create a Perfect Storm (though I’m sure it does happen occasionally).

What has been stressing me so, little one . . . .

Is YOU . . .  yes, you my child



 . . . and how I can help you get your shite (because it would be rude to say the other word) together.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING _______________’S   (insert name) SHITE TOGETHER

1.       Get some paper and a pen   -  go on, I’ll wait, it’s not like I’ve got man here wanting to ravage me (oh, poo I think I said that out loud) – although the nearly 80 yr old stalker did make another appearance last week (ego only very slightly re-inflated)  - lordy, best you hurry up, before I tell you more of my life story  -

2.       Write down one thing that you AREN’T doing in your life, that is making you feel all loserly

3.       Yes, I know, you in particular have more than one thing, so write a list of all the things you are not doing, that are making you feel loserly  (NOTE – these do not have to be health related)

4.       If you did write a list, stop getting all worked up about choosing one.  Put the piece of paper in front of you, close your eyes and drop your pen on the page, where it made a mark is the one you choose  -  like you did in the phone book when you were a teenager before you made a crank call

5.       Turn your ‘thing’ into a project by giving it a name (the following is inspired by my new friends at Cougar Fitness in New York)   – Something like  OPERATION COUGAR  - I prefer Operation to Mission, mainly because when I say mission, the word ‘impossible’ comes immediately to mind, and ‘mission’ just sounds hard      

NOTE TO EVERYONE   . . .   did you see what my clever self just did there, did you???   
I went and made you give birth to an idea, that you now have full ownership of.  It is your newest ‘baby’ – and just like a real baby, you are not allowed to leave it to fend for itself . . . YOU have to help it grow  . . . see genius! 
I have it on good authority that I am actually a genius.  Because in my former life as a police osafa (yes, I’m drunk), one of those criminal types said to me “Chur, you smart as Miss” – I’m thinking of putting it on my business card!

6.       Write down one action that you have to take, and are going to take, in the next 24 hours to 7 days (time frame will be ‘operation’ dependent), to move you towards that goal.  An example utilising Operation Cougar as our start point might be:

Replace all sensible shoes & ‘appropriate’ blouses with a nose stud, bangin stiletto heeled boots and skin tight t-shirts  I did just say it was an example!

7.       Now,  pretend that my ‘smart as’ self is sitting right there next to you . . . and I have a magic wand that allows me to say exactly what you need to hear, to encourage you in your quest for Cougar-ness (or whatever it may be), and write down what I just said, so you can refer to it often

8.       On a daily basis, repeat #6 until said Operation is complete, and Operation Commander (that’s you) is happy with outcome.

9.       Comment back to me with accolades of my genius (so I don’t run out of things to put on my business card)
