I am starting the new year of 2005 exactly as I’ve finished year 2004: laughing.
This supposed to become a good starting point, even if wouldn’t make any points at all…I just want my first entry of year 2005 to be a humorous one.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ll give you…[~continuous drumming]
More Bollocks from Mr Alistair Beaton:
Negative Feelings.
When you have negative feelings, write them down on a piece of paper. Then hold the paper above a lighted candle. As you watch the flame consume the paper, say to yourself, “Good buy, negative feelings”. Then go to the front door, throw it wide open and exclaim “Hello, positive feelings, come on in!”
If you find there are no positive feelings on your doorstep at that particular moment, scream out loudly:
“You bastards, you’re supposed to be here!”
***
You.
You are the most important person in your life. Be as kind to yourself as you are to other people. Give yourself treats:
Invite yourself out to dinner;
Send yourself life-affirming e-mails;
Ask yourself to share a holiday villa in Italy with you;
Leave little love letters for yourself around the house where you can discover them by chance while you’re doing the hovering;
Ask yourself to come with you when you start your psychotherapy.
***
Appearances.
You don’t really need make-up.
Celebrate your authentic face by frightening people on the streets.
***
Clothes and you.
The clothes you wear reveal a great deal about the sort of person you are.
Surprise other people by taking off your clothes before you go out.
***
Senses
Deal with your inner stress by indulging your senses: look for a rainbow, stroke a piece of silk, listen to a cat purring, sniff a newly-cut rose.
If no one around, do drugs.
***
Change
Embrace change. But don’t get into heavy petting with it.
