Sabotaging Situations

There are people, places, situations and events in your day-to-day happenings that lurk around just about every which way you turn. One moment you are going about your own business and then from out of the clear blue sky, wham! Sometimes there’s no warning at all. These impairing imposters are just waiting to pounce on your parade, throw a monkey wrench into your spectacular plans and derail your most desired aspirations and delights.

Hold your horses for a moment, my dear. Not all of these disruptive people and events are dead set on harming your hopes and desires, in fact I would venture to speculate that 99% of your damaging affairs are not in any way, shape or form put into action to discourage you, ambush you nor derail your dreams. Being aware and having a plan for situations that require your utmost diligence is a wonderful way for you to see the light and stay on track. Below you will find situations that could rain on your parade and ways of dealing with their daunting likelihood.

Walk away from it, walk far, far away and don’t look back! ~The helpful significant other: helpful my bum, sometimes they are cuffed with their dozen donuts or their Chinese takeout or how about their chips and dip. Go to bed, throw it out, sit in another room and utterly avoid contact with the items that will not behoove your goals. ~The girlfriends’ night out: Every so often we hit the town with our buddies and congregate around a table with spreads fit for any queen; however, what our buddies may not realize is that this queen is doing the best she can to slim down. Tell them you need their support; suggest an alte
ative plan other than going out to eat. Bowling anyone?
