Who in your life have you made so perfect, so necessary that you let them walk all over you and sell you down the river? Do you truly need anyone else in your life? Having people around can be a wonderful and fun experience, but do you need them? No, especially if you've become their punching bag. Why do you make some people indispensable, even though they're an ELFs or a rattlesnake? To pay the rent? To be there for your kids? To manage your books? To have a coffee with? Could you find other people to contribute these things to your life? Probably. So if you find you are yet again being taken for a ride by someone you think is perfect, or necessary and you cannot live without, ask “What am I refusing to see?” You might just see that they are not as indispensable as you thought they were, and your life might get a whole lot easier.

Are you finding it hard to giggle and hoot, wiggle and skip? What about a hint of a smile? Is that even hard? Do you remember laughing all the time when you were a kid? When did you buy the idea that you had to give up your non-stop hysterical giggling and “get serious”? Do you still believe that? Do you think it wouldn't suit you? That you're too old to be silly? That you've got keep things organised and on track? That you're the responsible one and if you don't do it, who will, and there's no time for frivolity? What if you could run a well-oiled machine, help all the ducks and kittens do what ducks and kittens need to do AND smile, giggle, hoot, wiggle and skip at the same time? What if a bit of a giggle even made you look and feel younger and gave you more energy? Like to find out? Then ask “What if I didn't take myself so seriously?” and start with a smile.
Feeling anxious? Panicky? Worried about something or someone? Is that yours? Or someone else's? How many people around you do you hear or see fretting about one thing or another everyday? A few, or almost everybody? And even if they're not talking about it, or showing it obviously on their face, can you feel it? So it should be no surprise that even if your life is actually pretty darn awesome, you somehow feel anxious. If you'd like to change that, next time you start to feel or say “What if this X terrible thing happens?” instead STOP, acknowledge how clever you are to be able to pick up all these feelings, and ask “Whose anxiety is this?” If the feeling lightens, then you know it wasn't yours. Now invite your smile back to the party of life.
