Stress Free Tip #22 Grumpy and Friends

Do you remember the 7 dwarfs? Doc who was like the head of the house hold, Sleepy who was always tired, Sneezy who couldn't stop sneezing, Bashful that kept batting his eyes, Dopey who most everyone loved. He was the quiet yet sweet hearted one, Happy was always cheerful and then there was Grumpy.

#22 Grumpy and Friends

Sure we all find Grumpy so cute on Snow White, but in this day if we saw someone else being grumpy we would not find them cute. Nor would we be happy around them. We would actually more then likely be pulled down to thier level, thier emotion.

When you smile you have a high chance of someone smiling back at you. Same goes for Grumpy when you are grumpy you can actually make othes around you just as miserable. Funny how that works. It doesn't take much to bring someone into a grumpy state either. You could say one thing wrong and hurt or offend someone. You really do have to be careful.

When you hang out with someone that is down, grumpy, angry, or just being rude, you tend to take on the same qualities. You become upset, down, angry, and rude right back. This is not healthy nor is it helping your situation let alone thiers. I am not saying if a friend is having a hard day to avoid them, but I wouldn't hang out with them for a long period of time. I would say try to cheer them up by taking them on a fun trip to the local zoo, go out for a bite to eat, go see a movie or just go to the park and walk and talk. But if they are still being grumpy after half in hour I would call it a day. Tell them you hope they feel better and if they feel up to something fun later on to call. Then check on them the next day. Sometimes people just need that one day to themselves. At times there is not much we can do for others when they get into this state. They have to pull them out of it themselves. But dont let yourself get consumed into the wallowing and pity.

Grumpy (not Snow White Grumpy) has other friends. These are the ones I would try to stay away from if you can: (using nicknames)
Downer -Down
Loner- Lonely
Saddner- Sad
Angry- Angry
Whiner- whining/Complaining
Dopey (not our cute sweet hearted from Snow White) The drug user
Depress- Depression
PP- Peer Pressure
Lazy- Lazy
And a few others

Instead I would make friends with:
Happy
Joyful
Excited
Laughter
Friendly
Funny
Fun (funny's little sibling)
Peaceful
Harmony
LOVE

Try to only surround yourself with positive.

Todays Challenge: Watch Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. Which character best resembles you? Why? I want you to watch your actions and write them down during the day. This is so you can see your attitude during the day. Are you like happy always laughing and smiling? Or like Grumpy always seeing the bad?
