Do you ever think yourself into a knotty ball of confusion? Listing all the pros and cons, collecting reams of background info which you analyse to death from all angles, trying to figure out what to do? To get it Right. Whether it's which subject to study, job to choose, car to buy, or if this person is The One? Do you enjoy this process? Is it as fast and easy as you'd like? And how does it usually work out? If you don't enjoy it and would prefer a faster, easier – and dare I say it more reliable FOR YOU – approach, next time you find yourself embarking on a thought journey into the abyss ask “If I didn't think about this, what would I know?” You know those moments when you just know something? It feels right and light to you (even though others think you're crazy)? Only you can really know what is right for you. So what if you trusted you more? It could make life a whole lot easier.

Are you often ill or exhausted? Do you have aches and pains that baffle the doctors? 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 that I'm not getting?” For example, when I was supposed to be doing pull ups (with an elastic support band, mind you) at bootcamp the other day, but instead was just hanging there about as useful as a rubber chicken. Was I in pain and pathetic? Oh yes. What it hilarious? Heck yeah (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, but 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?
