Are you often ill or exhausted? Do you have aches and pains that baffle the doctors? Baffle you? Before you start on a carousel of drug-taking to see if you can alleviate the symptoms, ask “What am I sick and tired of?” Maybe it's the drudgery of housework? The tedium of the office? Having people always ask you to do things for them? Whatever that is for you, whenever you think of that something and it makes you groan and slump, ask “What else is possible?” and “How can I change this?” Perhaps you could hire a housekeeper? Change jobs? Say “no”? If you have trouble saying no, practice this, with a smile, in the mirror every morning “I'm sorry, that doesn't work for me right now.” What if spending money on a housekeeper, changing jobs, or upsetting someone by politely saying no, saved you money in trips to the doctors...and even your life?

Suffering? In pain? Frustrated? Someone doing you wrong? Rather than going into the no good, wrong, trauma and drama default, ask “What's funny about this I'm not getting?” For example, have you ever tried to do a pull up? Even with an elastic support band it's pretty tough going. Did you feel weak and pathetic? Were you in pain? What if you laughed at yourself hanging there about as useful as a rubber chicken? What's funny? Um rubber chicken. What about a relationship that's on a wash cycle of wring-your-heart-dry? What's funny about that? Gotta be something. Even if it's to laugh at yourself for pushing the same old wring-me-out-now button and expecting a different result. Cute, Not Bright. What's great about laughing? It boosts your oxygen and feel good body bits and kicks you out of the self pity spiral. Are you willing to see more of life's funny side?
Do you sometimes do things that, well, just don't work out? In fact, you create complete rubbish? When you do this, do you default to how bad, wrong, terrible and awful you are? Yes, you're a failure, just like they always said you were. How does that feel? Does it help you at all? Probably not. So what if instead, you acknowledged that you can be an awesome creator of rubbish. Say “Gee, I'm cute, but not bright!” Then laugh and ask “What's right about this I'm not getting?” and “What else is possible?” If you can create magnificent rubbish, you can undoubtedly create magnificent magnifcence too. You just have to ask and take notice. What's the value of making yourself wrong anyway? It's much more fun to be Cute Not Bright.
