How to Procrastinate.

How to Procrastinate:

1. First you need something to do.
2. You need a deadline.
3. You need to have it in the back of your mind at all times of the day. (Like it needs to bug you and churn at your soul every time you think about it.)
4. You need to sit on the couch and watch netflix, go on facebook or pinterst,  hang out with friends, take a nap, stare at the wall, etc. (Basically something pointless that takes up way more time then it should)
5. Participate in this activity until the morning of the deadline.
6. Then it's your choice to either do whatever it is you put off for so long or you can procrastinate further to the point where you are 100% unprepared.
7. Take my advice. Because I didn't write this blog until the day after it was due which makes me the master procrastinator.

Shoulder Knots

"Oh dear what have you done to your shoulders.  They're filled with knots" he said.

"That one that you're touching is the homework I forgot to do this weekend.  Oh that one there was the fight I had with my sister last night.  Not too big but still it causes strife in my life.  Oh and that one there, that was when she gossiped about it to my whole family like a high school teenager.  That's a little worse than the other but I'm sure the one that's creeping up on her is a million times worse.  OW!!! OK, ya that one must've been all the days I have spent tearing down others with my words.  I don't think I intentionally allowed it to get that big but now that I know, I would like it massaged out of my life if you don't mind.  ow.... this is a painful process."

"And what about these scars?"

"Those are the knots I had to cut out of my back.  Don't worry it wasn't as painful as it sounds.  I kind of deserved it to be honest. But at least it's over now and all that's left is that scar to remind me that I have learned that lesson."

"So what's the story behind them?"

"No story.  I just have spent years burdening myself for no reason and clearly as you can see I'm a little tense.  To be honest I think that if I make one more mistake like that tennis ball one there I just might burst.  I sincerely hope that that knot right there goes away soon because I really feel bad about that one.  I deserve all these knots.  I brought them upon myself.  I just hope that everyone is as kind as you to forgive me for my wrongs and maybe one day my knots will be nothing but a bad nights sleep. Thankyou.  And I'm sorry."

Tribute to the wise (Pay attention)

Stand up for yourself.

This month has been the best month for me.  I used to put up with so much crap.  I honestly can't stand it.
I'm one of those people that will kill myself trying to lift someone else up and I always knew this was a problem but I always told myself "At least it's better than tearing someone down to lift myself up" but if I'm not looking out for myself who is?  I'm not saying that my new motto is to incinerate others with my words to make sure that I'm sitting on the highest pedistol, I'm just saying I need to start letting people know when something is not ok with me because otherwise I will have serious insecurity problems for the rest of my life.

This month I have stood up for my beliefs and it has not only helped me build my confidence but people have actually thanked me for saying something when they didn't have the guts.  I honestly can't even tell you how much that meant to me.  I was terrified every single time that I said anything but now that I see that a lot of the times people are willing to accomidate to what makes you feel comfortable, I know that I have the power to make a difference in my life and in others.  It's scary at first but it is most definitely worth it.

If you've never had the opportunity to do this for someone then you are truly blessed by surrounding yourself with the right people but if you have had the opportunity and didn't take it, just tell yourself that you will next time and that it's so so worth it.  If you always stand up for yourself and you know exactly what I'm talking about then good for you.  Isn't it great? Doesn't it just make you feel so good about yourself?\

I just hope that everyone knows to stand up for something.  Because let's face it, if you don't stand up for anything then you will fall for everthing.

For anyone who needs a good laugh
