When one attempts to analyze the probabilities of potential failures that await them in the not-so-far-away future, it can lead to quite a bit of stress and anxiety. Perhaps my focus needs to shift over. Rhonda Byrne's book "The Secret" suggests I'm creating the negative world by thinking about my fears, that I'm in fact manifesting the things I don't want to happen. My subconscious is trying to sabotage me!
I just spent a period of time today coloring with magic markers on graph paper in my son's room, and was very serious about it. Man do I wish I was kidding. My creations were copied works from the great artists of 8-bit history...A pixelated Mario, a pixelated Goomba, and a pixelated Kirby. If I were pretentious enough, I would just consider it "Pop Art" and own the hell out of it!
It helped take the edge off of my son's anxiety of the dentist. Had to get that tooth removed, one way or another. The funny part was that he was fine with the local anesthesia, just not the bubble-gum flavored Novocaine gel, the bubble-gum scented nitrous oxide, or the *gasp* rinsing water. Needless to say the dentist and his assistant had quite a fun morning, and stayed in good spirits by pointing out how purple his hands were as a result of me restraining his wrists.
The tooth was successfully removed, so I suppose this counts as a 'win' for the home team?
