I have to laugh at myself! Laugh myself HEALTHY, that is! *wink
Whenever I dislike a chore, I find something silly or fun to make it more bearable. For example, when I when I came in from ‘weed whacking’ the yard, just now; I could ’smell’ that my cat had used the litter box. *pfew!
So, I went over to ’scoop’ it out. My cat was following behind; they always like to investigate what I’m going to do with their litter box! ha ha
As I approached to do this ‘not so pleasant’ but ‘necessary’ chore – a CHEER popped into my head!
‘LET’S GO CLEAN THE BOX, LET’S GO!’ *clap clap clap
‘LET’S GO CLEAN THE BOX, LET’S GO!’ *clap clap clap
[it comes from a sports cheer: ‘Let’s go BIL-LEE Let’s Go!’ you insert whichever name fits at the moment – for the person about to SCORE!]
There I was, bending over, ready to scoop up cat poop and I’m LAUGHING at this CHEER that pops into my head!
When I was weed whacking a month ago, I shared how; after sweating and dealing with numb, aching arms – I started to LAUGH to relieve the stress by thinking up a Weed Whacking Laugh! Weed Whacka-ha ha ha ha haaaa
I’ve shared in the past, when I have to go grocery shopping [another chore I dislike] I make up a WORD out of the first letter of each item I need – so I remember my shopping list!
Write it down, you say! Oh, that’s so ‘been there, done that!’ ha ha ha
I like the non-sensical words I come up with.
This puts a smile on my face –
then I go to the store and start playing my SMILE CAMPAIGN GAME!
(Give a Smile, Get a Smile = 1 point! Give a Smile, Get a Smile and a verbal response = 2 points!)
Got some CHORES to do? CHEER yourself through!
Any CHEER will DO! Woo! Hoo!
