Great metaphor! I was supposed to go in vacation this week and life happened (i.e., a rather bad injury). I’ve reframed this to be my STAYCATION and I’m relieved and know I made a good choice.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Sharon! This is a great example of effective reframing, though, because reality is what it is... it's just a matter of how you're going to approach it and think about it.

Such great advice! I will pilot my own egg today. Tap the brakes... tap my chin and ponder... Hmmm.... Okay, I'll go thataway. (just visualizing the process so it sticks)

I love your work, as always! Happy Monday to you and your audience. 🤗

lately most of my choices seem to be 1) stay focused no matter how unpleasant this is now becoming 2) wonder if I can go to the ice cream shop soon as this is over....mmmm. ice cream.

yes, I spending a lot of time enjoying my ice creams and, yes, life is good.

I loved your little egg car that suspiciously looked like it was on desk chair wheels! Made me laugh. A great idea if I could only get my nagging fears to shut up!

OMG! This was me yesterday. Several bad things happened in a row, like bam, bam, bam. I got in my car and started driving and swearing because I was SO MAD! Then, I decided I couldn't change anything about what had happened without committing a crime, so I drove back home and found something to take my mind off of all the crap that had just come down. I think the swearing really helped me too.

Love your observation about the swearing! I find that to be VERY helpful. In fact, I might need to make a Monday Motivation that incorporates that tip!
