I wasn’t so much ignoring my door lock as ignoring the truth that I couldn’t consider this guy I really liked as my handyman any longer.
I am careful to keep truth in me and around me, so ignoring bad behavior because you like someone and “hope” (yep, I said it – right word because I had DOUBTS) they’ll change is NOT good. You aren’t helping them either, consequences are GOOD for folks.
What are YOU ignoring?
Have you gained weight? A lot of weight? Here is a secret, we all gain weight 1 lb at a time, so if you are 30 lbs overweight it means you ignored the weight gain HUNDREDS of times to get that far off track.
I will now give you a powerful tool you can apply to just about everything and change your life.
Figure out the smallest unit you can track of whatever it is that is out of whack and go berserk to prevent the very next 1.
So, whatever your weight is now – do NOT gain ONE MORE POUND. No rounding up. No, it’s only just 2. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Draw the line and hold. The
mistake you make is worrying MORE about the weight that is ALREADY there than the weight you are STILL ADDING.
I do this with dishes. I am a busy woman. I have discovered that I IGNORE dishes in my sink when super busy. I ignore them until the tower of leaning dishes threatens my stove. Finally, I figured it out. I now have a law (not kidding). It is the Law of The One
Plate.
You cannot, ever, EVER have a stack of dishes in your sink if you NEVER allow ONE PLATE to stay in the sink dirty. After I eat I walk straight to the sink and wash my ONE plate. This causes momentum to the forks and spoons and cups.
My sink is now ALWAYS CLEAR. I repeat “Law of
One Plate” as I walk into the kitchen and now it’s a habit. It takes under 8 seconds to wash ONE plate (I counted.)
Don’t want to smoke? Law of ONE CIGARETTE.
Don’t want clutter? Law of ONE PAPER.
