"The Feather under the hat" #14

10 August 2012

13th is a scary number, I missed to write by one full day, right after I posted my 13th feather. Spooky :P


"Ignoring" is an art. It refers to "disengaging" from something/someone completely so that it doesn't remain in the mind, and this indeed needs good practice. Parents, teachers have always focused on techniques of involvement/engagement, but what about 'Ignoring'!?

I can teach you 'how to ignore' in three simple steps:

1. Jot down 5 remarkable things (that need your attention really), and 5 things that you want to ignore. Do this on 2 different pieces of paper. (Not necessarily 5 things, but keep the list short)

2. Take the piece with important things and keep it in your pocket.

3. Tear the other piece, vent your frustration out on it, make it a hundred pieces, put it below your shoe, smother it (a shoe with dirt shit below the sole is even better), and then pick the pieces up and throw them behind you (so that you can't see where they flew away)

Do this every morning.


P.S. - Don't hesitate to dump the 'once remarkable, now crappy' :D
