TO BE OR NOT TO BE

A LESSON IN LIFES RUGBY SCRUM!!!


How often do your emotions (or hormones if you like) hi-jack you, ambush you and wrestle you to the ground ,pinning you down helplessly until you fight your way back up again? How long are you out for? Have you stopped getting up or worse yet, lost your ability to want to get up...what's the point in getting up to be knocked down again??


How many other people do you take down with you even though you try really hard not to? How many times are you at the effect of OTHER peoples rugby scrums, eagerly and naively running on the field as the all loyal sub ?! (Is this what you do with your family!)





Are you aware of the effect this has on you, your quality of life, your happiness quota and your body?(Not to mention those around you).

Imagine the worlds wildest roller-coaster , you know the one that scares the living shit out of you and yet thrills you into endorphine and adrenal overload so much so we are crazy enough to go back again!!!!! Some smart folk don't go back on it and the wiser ones don't go on in the first place !!!!


Ok, so thats the extreme, but a similar effect happens to you everytime you get upset,angry,frustrated,sad,guilty,depressed,fearful,anxious,hurt,jealous,


hateful,stressed out, insecure...shall I go on or do you get the picture?


Then, we watch the news, or the disaster report, read newspapers,watch drama on television (apparently called real-life tv?!), get on the telephone,listen to other peoples gossip and opinions, be told by our teenage daughter that she hates us,your sister does the poor me routine and you fall for it ...again.....and what spikes occur in our emotional state again and again?


How many scrums do we collide with all day...some small, some gigantic!! It could be the latest barrage of news of the stock market,or petrol prices going up or the interest rates or swine flu epidmeics or...or..or...phewee...hold on I NEED a rest from all of this insanity!!! I'm off for a beer or 9...(I'm joking here)


We all employ numb-out tactics or avoidance habits,anything ranging from taking drugs, getting drunk (or merry at the least) over-working,exercising beyond our requirements or any addcictive patterns that seem to ease the intensity of life!!!


GUESS WHAT?!!! Sorry to be the Grinch.... but the "it" has already affected you...this is what has driven your choices to drink,smoke etc!!!!!


What to do? ...CHOOSE to go surfing, make love,stroke an animal, play Monopoly with the kids...CHOOSE and institute something that elicits a different response and begin to be AWARE of the people,situations and choices that you make that create this insane energy in your life,body and environment!


What could that choice be? Maybe switch off the tv, watch dvds of YOUR CHOICE!!!!! Don't listen to 0r engage peoples dramas and gosssip (Oh my... Is THAT the time, I really have to go!!)...


Handy hint no 2)


How can you fly like an eagle when you hang around with turkeys?!!!!


The daily emotional scrums of life are optional!!!! If you choose to play a different game and create your OWN rules you won't be tackled!!!!

You may however choose to tackle yourself, but that subject is for another time....


And you don't need to be defensive...you can be aware instead...its a lot kinder and the upside to all of this choice thing is that you be happier!!! You be more of who you used to be...who you like to be and is fun for you!!!


Do you remember you? how much of you is left...a lot or a little?


Are you interested in being you again? Even if it requires you to change a few wee things?



Remember to check out Dr. Emoto too and i'll be chatting with you again...ta ta for now.
