Im going through something and its flipping challenging and testing the bones of me....

Im trying different ways of easing the crappiness of it....

I may have or am becoming slightly crazy with it. Character development....

Speaking of which.....Im now trying to look at things as if to say ....what would such and such do, say or advise if they were in this position....

Reaching out for a bit of help and inspiration when building this imaginary board of directors.....

Just to say, this isn't the crew you'd perhaps have round for dinner or a party.

But famous people historically or present who you think you would want life perspective, life advice, to be around in their company etc....

So far
I have David Attenborough - could imagine him narrating saying - 'she escaped the clutches of the......animal...and although she is wounded, she is not starting from scratch and will go on to rebuild. He'd put it in a better way.

Message being.....thats life, it could much worse, its dog eat, dog out there and be thankful you live to tell the tale and you have tail intact.

Second Person - Sylvester Stallone.
I watched a netflix thing about him last night. I need that tough approach. He'd tell me to get off the floor and focus. To move forward. With a few New York, no messing words in there.

After that my brain is mush. Im not sure how many people / perspectives to have on this board of directors...

I sound mad dont I. Well Im okay with that at the moment. Im not in bed crying and Im reaching out to others...
looking for differnt ways to get different perspectives that add a bit of - aha moments and a bit of humour. All in my head of course lol

Can I just say i had it confirmed this morning I have cost myself nion a thousand pounds on something that I made a decision on rashly and wasnt aware on credit card. Talk about wake up calls, feel like im getting a bazooka wake up one.
I'll think on it over the nextr few days and see what I can do about it. Im 45 arent we supposed to have it all figured out lol

The bottom bit of costing myself a fortune isnt the challenging tough time. Its just part of the icing on the cake.

Board of directors is not that for that (well maybe could have used them when making payment) but they are for just getting through a challenging time and the fall out in your life from it.
