PROMPT: Goals
In playing football, I find telling linebackers “no” is not beneficial. Words are strange things, at once infinitely powerful or powerless, depending upon context and will.
PROMPT: Every Day
Be spontaneous.
PROMPT: Best Compliment
“I wouldn’t have done it that way, but that method has your name written all over it.”
PROMPT: Negative Feelings
Sakshi Bhavan, the dispassionate witness, giving feelings one’s full attention without allowing rumination that compounds the effect.
Not technically a strategy, but I think it’s on point.
PROMPT: Superstitious
Nah. I’d say I’m normal-stitious, possibly even substitious.
PROMPT: Fate/Destiny
I don’t believe. I don’t disbelieve. I have insufficient data on which to draw a conclusion.
PROMPT: Biggest Challenge
I certainly have my ideas, but I’m not going to jinx it or create a self-fulfilling prophecy on the matter. Sometimes the easy is hard and the hard comes easy, and — above all — people suck at making predictions (except in the case of self-fulfilling prophesies.)
PROMPT: Teenage Self
Be your authentic self.
And stop touching yourself so much.
But the first advice wouldn’t be understood, and the second would be ignored, so I’m not sure that it would be a productive undertaking.
PROMPT: Dream Home
Regularly teleports to new and interesting places. Ideally, compact from the outside but comfortable inside. So, I guess a TARDIS would be my dream home.
