The Simple Stuff

You know the simple things in life, The air around you, the sensations that rise and fall during your daily encounters, the commonality of your routines. These are things that can't be controlled and certainly won't allow you to even consider contemplating on controlling them. So why bother even worrying or complaining about such mundane things? Even you, personally know that taking action will surely get rid of the problem and allow you to do something more fulfilling.

For example you have a clogged shower drain, and everytime you take a shower, you watch the water pool up, mixed with all the other good things you washed off your body, AND.......stay there. Now your mind goes through courses of action, to summarize here are three:

1. Curse at the drain. (Emotion)
2. Look and think that if you stare long enough if might magically clear. (Compliance)
3. Decide to come up with a solution and clear the drain. (Action)

Now consider options 1 and 2. Did following through with those option make your day? or did they actaully make you think about that damn drain all day? Well either way it wasn't anything nice.
Now option 3, guess what? it got shit done. Shit. Got. Done. Specifically your drain got mangled by Drano and you went on your merry way.

 Now also take for instance the weather, Ya it is a hot day. You decided to come up with a meaningful and fulfilling comment about the situation, and to what avail? It is still going to be hot, you are going to be sweating, your clothes are going to be sticking to your body like melted smores sticking to your fingers. (Ya I thought that was clever). 
Well how about you get naked, or go to a pool, or dazzle yourself with a plethora of ice cubes.
O wait, thinking and taking action actually makes things better? Hmm hard thought there.

SOOO why waste time conjuring up your brain power to come up with a combination of words that provide your conscience with a meaning to the relief from the situation. Does it make you feel better? Did it make the problem go away? Did you spiral down in a sinking depression and consider eating away your feelings with a dozen krispy kream donuts stuffed with M&M's?

I can bet you it didn't.  But, it DID make you want some donuts, or M&M's or whatever.

SO why even bother addressing the situation with emotion and waste time when eventually you are going to have to come up with a solution sooner rather then later. And actually DO IT. This doesn't even have to be anything that is really urgent or physically there.

And this can be applied to anything, I Mean ANYTHING, kicking the neighbors dog because it is really not a dog but a rat like creature, talking to that someone you always wanted to talk to, having a serious conversation with your parents about your beliefs, making an Epic Meal Time meal, traveling to who knows where, trying a new sex position, seriously could be anything.

BUT the key to this, IS:

• You have to be able to see that you are blocking yourself from reacting to a situation. 
• Then you have to realize that it is truly a blockage. 
• Realize what it is that is blocking you. And finally just f!*$ it out of your way.

 aand guess what? it is going to be so awesome when you actually unblock yourself .

So be cool and go do things.
