Do you still weigh yourself?

~ SA Otey

IMG_2272Don’t ever weigh yourself on January 2nd. To quote Yoda, “Only pain you will find”. Weight is a terrible measurement of health. What I mean is, don’t let the scale dictate how you should feel about yourself.  You should go about how your clothes fit. If you want to get technical then go by body fat percentage. Buy yourself some fancy fat pinchers if you must know the details. Don’t go by BMI because you can be obese even if you are an elite athlete bodybuilding freak of nature.

I started a new way of eating a few years ago and I lost weight quickly at first but then the next year I lost no weight at all. Once you get comfortable with your clothes, you should shop for some new ones and donate the old ones. If you buy quality threads you can also sell them on eBay.

How to lose friends and disengage people

~ SA Otey

Loan them money

A Wise person once told me that if you loan someone money, don’t expect a payback. I’ll go as far as to say you’ll never see that person again. Sometimes it’s a good trade-off if the person is really annoying and causes you anxiety. That’s the best money you’ll ever spend.

Change your religion

The more extreme the switch, the quicker you will lose people. No, atheism is not the opposite of Christianity. Atheism is giving up a higher consciousness and culture and relying on scientists. Scientists change their opinions on new information and course correct when the data leads down the wrong paths. It’s basically making yourself a God. Satanism is the opposite of Christianity. Choose wisely.

Change your politics

Centrists have lots of friends, the far left and far right do not so much. You would be surprised how much far left and far right have in common so pick something mid-spectrum on the opposite side.

Don’t show empathy

When someone asks how you’re doing just tell them fine and be done with it. Don’t tell them any of your problems. They can’t handle it and will distance themselves from you until you figure out the solution on your own.

Don’t text, post, email, call

Just stop communicating. Let the other person make all the attempts to get in contact with you. Make your responses shorter and shorter until they get to “Haha” and “Yep“. Eventually, they will give up because you do not reciprocate. Sometimes it takes people a long time to get the hint.

New Year, New You? Again?

~ SA Otey

Will you succeed at your New Year’s resolutions? Probably not, if you set your goals too high. I’ve started making small changes in everything I do. Small goals, small victories. Small goals take the stress out of accomplishing that goal. If you want to lose 100 pounds, try losing 10 first. If you’re going to fix your road rage problem, try only punching the steering wheel a few times a day rather than several. You can’t just quit that behavior overnight. Changing your habits will lead to lasting results.

Of course, if you don’t set any goals it will be hard to let yourself down. Most people will give up around February, they may even make it until March. The micro resolution will provide much more satisfaction and get you where you need to be, slower, but steady.
