The battle is won in the moments.

THE BATTLE IS WON IN THE MOMENTS.
Getting unstuck by shaking off frustration.
If a situation or a thought = mood
then not giving up = not giving in to the mood
Cast it off.. and give a mental clap after each time.
Whatever a mental clap is?!
Could be anything. Something that feels positive at an emotional level.
Something to counteract that negative mood.
Maybe it’s saying ‘yes you fucking legend!’ or ‘I’m a fucking knight of the realm!’ under your breath or think of punching that asshole teacher from school in the face.
Doesn’t it feel embarrassing? This idea of having to encourage yourself like a child after each little step? Well tough!
You can turn that judgement around too.
Turn that into a fuck yes! You’re a wise, kind sensei, guilding myself along the greatest path of all, living your best life, You’re a knight of the realm and giving your soul a high five on the way is a noble activity!
Arise Sir Chris!
Anyway the mind always has these grand ideas, always judging… ‘ooo don’t do that, oh no that’s embarassing, xyz!’ Always wanting you to start again, to rewite the plan… bascially trying to get you to stop you doing anything at all. Safer to stay in the mood.
Tell it to fuck off…
No one ever gave me a manual on how to get through this absurd life so I’ll write my own.
Sure I’ve picked up some scripts already. I’ve absorbed some ways to react from those people who were around me at the time but this book I write is mine.
And I’ll give myself a clap after every simple sentence!
