TKO?

Feeling flat?

A little down in the dumps?

Sort of blah?

It happens to the best of us.

Sometimes it's environmental.

No, we're not talking Global Warming.

In this case environmental means affected by things around us…

Over stimulated

Over whelmed

Burnt out…

Today's news stories (we all know what this is about these days, right?) can do it to us.

Dealing with serial days of bad weather…

Constant problems with friends and family can get to us, too.

Even the aftermath of and exciting event can knock us out.

The important thing is to realize that going flat at times is part of our human condition.

What do ya say?

Been there, of course…

SOME DAYS…

'It was a dark and dreary day'… or was it 'a dark and stormy night'?

Isn't that the start of a story?  check it out

Yeah.  But.

We all do have those overwhelmingly soggy, angst laden, damp days, right?

We are human after all…

And.  So...

What do ya say?

How do you handle the megrims?

Tune in tomorrow for some sunshine…

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - DOWN IN THE DUMPS

We've all had those days, right? 

The 'we want to crawl under the bed' days.

This experience is so much a part of our on-going lives that we've created the expression 'down in the dumps' to describe it - and the expression - and the experience - have been around a long time! 

The earliest written use of the term is the year 1529!

This is one of the most important times to beware of our internal Bullies.

When things are tough we tend to feel fear - and fear is the playground of our own internal Bullies!

DIALOGGIN' WITH YOUR BULLY:

First find and identify your internal Bully voice - if you are feeling down it's probably there… 

The dialog might go something like this:

Bully:  Man, you are such a mess!  It's your fault that everything went wrong!

You:  No, it is not!  Only some of it…  I am human you know.  You're making everything worse.

Bully:  I'm just trying to help… I mean if I can't point out your flaws, who can?  I know you the best.

You:  Hey, pointing out flaws is NOT helpful!  Why don't you find something nice to say - you know, supportive!  Maybe you could help me through this awful day!

Bully:  What, you want me to lie?

You:  YES!

You are probably laughing now … and seeing the ridiculousness of piling on yourself…
