Instantaneous Fixes For Today

Justification and principle take a look. Do you feel good when you are "justifiably" angry, hostile, disappointed, hurt or intolerant. Then when you are drained by those emptions you probably will blame the person or situation you were justifiably upset about for making you feel bad.

Grow Up

1.) take responsibility Now for this unjustified emotional response.

2.) set a timer - look outside your window for one minute or walk around the room.

3.) count by seven. when you can't go further, repeat once.

4.) even if you could prove to the whole world that you were right, your body doesn't care.

5.) make a choice. consider your heart, your blood pressure, the individual you blamed.

Procrastinate

1.) make a list of things you absolutely have to do unless you absolutely don't want to do them.

2.) don't do any of them!

3.) you just gained hours of valuable time. Have fun. 

4.) enjoy these hours and  the positive feeling that has interrupted your present moment.

Smile


Final thoughts-  It sounds hokey but it works for me!
