Dear Bj,
Good Day!
Nice to be here in your inbox. It's a little crowded, what
with the spam and the urgent 'to-dos', not to mention
that hilarious joke about the border collie changing a light
bulb, so I'll make it quick.
Each week, What's the Story, is chock full of
warm support, useful information and a few words that
might just change your life. The first article features
what has become known as a "Bjism", a snappy phrase
with a very serious purpose. I use these phrases in my
work helping people to make career choices, create
happy relationships and build lives they love. See if this
week's Bjism speaks to you. Visit me at
www.bjcounsels.com to let me know what you think and,
please, forward this
message far and wide. There are convenient links below
to do both.
Enjoy!
If You Are Not On Fire...
Life can seem pretty overwhelming sometimes, right?
Take a moment to cast your mind back to the last time
you couldn't deal with a situation. Or when
you felt overwhelmed by the chaos around you.
Got the image?
Now focus briefly on how you are right this minute-not
what's coming up later, or the toast that got burnt this
morning-just how you are now. Breathing okay?
Waistband too snug? Warm/cool enough? Toes
wiggle-able? If not, you can open a window in a stuffy
room, loosen a button, put on a sweater or take off tight
shoes, cant you?
Contrast that ability to handle your own comfort with the
feeling of not being able to deal with the situation you
imagined first. How are they different?

Words & Ways to Live By |
|
Speaking of letting things go. Do you have a pet
who just
doesn't want to let go of your favorite sock? Or who's
control issues make "drop that!" impossible?
Try this--grasp the sock, ball, postman's pant leg, with
one hand and the pet's ear with the other. Give a good
puff of air into the ear canal and watch whatever Fido or
Fifi has drop instantly out of his/her jaw. It's like
magic! If you follow up this action with "good drop
Fifi!", eventually, you will be able to just touch the ear to
get the same result. And, in time, the ultimate
dream...your pet responses willingly just because you
asked!
Have a tip to offer, or something that needs a practical
solution? Drop me an email and your idea/question might
make it into in a future edition.

Self-doubt Taking You For a Ride? |
|
If you find yourself missing opportunities or not enjoying
your worklife and relationships because of
second-guessing and building frustration, read my article
Taking the Doubt Train to Frustration
Station? to find a quick exercise for 'reality-testing'
your assumptions about yourself and your situations.
Believe it or not, 90% of the negative stuff you say to
and about yourself simply isn't true. I can prove it!
Stay tuned to this spot. We'll go into more depth about
self-doubt in a later issue
of What's the Story?
