One thing about myself, and for those around me will tell ya, I am almost always in a upbeat, happy and laid back mood. I like to keep people calm, and even if I am going threw turmoil, I always keep it too myself and don't like to bother others. But this week at work we were getting ready for a major visit by the high up executives, and that always get everybody's panties in a twist. Not me. Their just people too. Needless to say the visit was today, and went very well and I even got some kudos's. But all week, people were like how can you always be so damn happy and upbeat with all this stress? Some people try , I swear, to push your trigger. Never works with me. But I do have some tips on how I get myself to my happy place.
1:Sing really loudly in the shower, with the windows open and don't care what the neighbors will say. get the words wrong, no one cares.... I prefer Ethel Merman's Your the Top!! No pun intended.
2:Think about your good times, and get ready for new ones. and maybe, just maybe, this can become a good time too.
3:Know that those in your life are there for a reason, to support, love and saturate you with all that is good.
4:Breath deep breaths.
5:Have some sex. And if it is easily accessible, have lots of it. A good long round. You wouldn't believe how much stress it relives. And gives you a attitude adjustment.
6:DON'T catastrophize.
7:Buy some happy and pretty, and stay hydrated. Have plenty of cock-a-tails!
step 8: be happy that something like this happened, for some people this is a dream - a big fat wet one
9. How important is the current (disaster, kerpuffle, crisis of the week) really?
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice! I need to print that out and look at it every day! xoxoxoxoxox
ReplyDelete#6 is a biggie -- so many people get themselves all worked up into a lather by making mountains out of molehills.
ReplyDeleteAMEN sister! What a great post! I'm with ya on all these except the sex one. I soooooooooo need laid!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. I remember everyone looking to you too calm down and keep things together! I don't know how you do it! It must be the Merman songs!
ReplyDeleteOh Mistress B, what a lovely attitude! These days it's refreshing to see a lady of society to keep her cool.And I tend to agree with having a few nips. William always says I'm in a happy mood when he gets home. Little does he know I have a few drinks with the girls at our afternoon bridge game.
ReplyDeleteWords to live by! As you guess, the sex thing works for me well.LOL! But a great post. Funny but helpful!
ReplyDeleteAfter what you been threw this year with your split after that long, you are amazing to read. I so need to take your advice. I tend to over stress out and never just calm down. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great atiitude. Do you really sing Merman in the shower? I try to be upbeat all the time, but it doesn't always happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent! I have to try some of these and see if they work.
ReplyDeleteWithout getting to feely, it is one reason I like to hang with you, You can always put anyone in a good mood and make people laugh!
ReplyDeletehere, here! Your my postive example for today. I wonder if the husband is feeling frisky now? I was a bit angery today!
ReplyDeleteA funny well put message from the Mistress with a point. Thanks for this, I love it and agree with Joy.
ReplyDeletei like Number 6.
ReplyDeleteMy rule of thumb is that customers/clients/bosses/execs are like sharks and they feed on panic.
So, don't give ém panic.
My dear, I wish I could have that outlook right now.
ReplyDeleteI will try however because I think you may be right!....
Some great advice! I'll have to remember all these!
ReplyDeleteNumber 6. No wonder your always in a good mood,lol!
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to know the right thing to say. This is a great post Mistress.
ReplyDeleteIll have to remember to sing some Ethem Merman sometime next time I'm not so happy!
