Wanna be happy?  

 

Miss Anna Banana in Phoenix AZ

 

There are times in everybody's life when we wonder if  we can reach our goals, finish a project, lose weight or whatever situation is going on. We can all get so tightly wrapped around the pole and we totally forget to see the humor in the moment.  And trust me their is always humor behind the scenes - somewhere. Ok almost always.  

 

I know - I know -everybody says - but NOOO you just don't understand - this is a serious situation or that is serious situation yadayadyada.  Ok fine, maybe it is, but if you'd just get out of your way - chill out for a few moments or longer if needed - a solution would pop up effortlessly.  Stop trying so hard to figure it all out.  You'll never get it done - never! There will always something else to figure out. You know that!

 

If you keep focusing on the problem guess what you're going to create? More of the problem. Yes it really does work that way. Trust me I am living proof of this one. It took me awhile to figure this out and personally I'm so glad I finally 'got it'.  You can do this if you want to - you really can do it.

  

Next time you find yourself tightly wrapped around the pole here's your job.....

 

Think of this adorable Super Puppy and Put On Your Own Super Woman/Man Suit in Your Mind!  Just step away from your desk, the frustrating situation,  the ridiculous conversation that's going nowhere fast or whatever craziness you've got yourself wrapped up in - and CHILL OUT.  Go for a walk, turn on some music and dance, enjoy some chocolate or a cup of java and just stop thinking about whatever is driving you bonkers. Holy Moly Rockie I'm so happy I figured out that my job was to stop trying so hard to figure it out!

 

Now  - when I find myself getting even the slightest bit 'whacked'

 

I take a break,  
 I change my thoughts
 
I focus on something I want
I think about something that's working well
I simply think about a pleasant or silly thing and just chill out! 

 

 Remember - next time you're driving yourself bonkers - just stop and Think of Super Puppy 

 

Life is meant to be joyful!

 

Wanna be happy?

Where in the world????  What an amazing little guy ... with an amazing little suit!  Brilliant words, my friend .. just brilliant.  Maybe it's the fact that I'm older, but this advice seems more and more important to me as each day roars by.  Practicing them can be hard.  But oh so necessary .. esp. in our business.  Thanks for a wonderful Sunday (and anyday) tip ...

Sheila - Super Puppy has a job!  Lighten up lives!!  Have a  fun day!

Teri - sure!  The idea is to have anything that distracts you from whatever situation that's bothering you - long enough so that new ideas come to you.

Scott it works!

Fred I'm chuckling thiking of you dressed up a little guy!  Cute.  You know what I say.  Why wait a day to feel better.  When you can easily change your thoughts right now and get back to a place that works so much better than fussying and worring and figuring it all out.  ahhhhhhhh

I like the idea of just letting things go, that sense of "things will work out, just let it".

Cute photo Anna!

'Stop trying so hard to figure it out' ... good advice, Anna!  I've found that things work out the way they're meant to anyway ... eventually.

Anna,  Thanks for this blog.  It has reminded me to take a breath and step back.  With Will on another vacation, I have been majorly stressed out and for what???  It just really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.  Happy Sunday.  Love the pooch!

Leslie think of super puppy and simply laugh!  It's just so silly -

Jeanne & Ralph some society's don't teach that.  It's up to each one of us to chose how we want to feel and stressed out isn't what I want!  And hey you're talking to a gal that dresses up in a banana suit!

Dick what's really fun is being aware that things are getting a little off base - really fast.  When that happens we don't create a lot of frustration - and we let in ideas that will solve whatever - instead of trying to FORCE it.  We all know how well forcing works!

Richard & Beth - thanks I am and same to you!

Ron that's what my MN Mom taught me growing up. Get busy doing something else and the problem will disappear and a solution will pop up.  This little pooch loves dressing up!! It's my neice's little guy.

Gene I'm pretty sure my fiesty niece created this picture - she sent it to me!  I knew it was perfect for this message. Brilliant - I had and still have a great teacher/mentor.  It does take practice but it's so worth it.

Roger if it's not us who would it be?  LOL  Me too!

Karen - you got it! That's exactly the point!  Laugh!

Tom they always do and would so faster if we'd all just stop hanging on for dear life!!

Carie and the sooner we just let go - the sooner the 'great idea' pops into our head!  Inspriration doesn't come from trying so hard or frustration.

Thank you so much for today's big smile, that puppy is priceless, he reminds me of my wife's little dog who loved every new shirt or costume that she bought for him.

Anna- Donna reblogged this and I'm so glad she did. I wasn't sure when you wrote this because if it was today I was going to feature it in Bananatude.  I think we all need to make a copy of this and pin it up in our offices.
