Hopkins the Bonk Legged

Being made redundant, it is an obvious kick to the knackers.

It is easy to spiral into a rut getting up late, shouting at Jeremy Kyles band of trained mutants, taking two hours to read the Sun and treating a trip to town as some fantastic voyage that will take a marathon like effort that can only be attempted after Loose Women has finished.

Checking your Facebook profile every 37 minutes, making sure that the This Morning and GMTV competitions are promptly entered and that Holly Willoughby, Kate Garraway and Lorraine Kelly are looking scrumptious can sometimes be the height of productivity.

The key to getting out of the rut is positive thinking, actually more than that really, thinking about your thinking and stop thinking negative, growing up and putting things in perspective. In Buddhism its called mindfulness. Before you think yourself in to a state, think yourself out of it . Brilliant Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: How to Use CBT to Improve Your Mind and Your Life is one of the most important books I have read and I would urge anybody who doesn’t believe praying to Jesus, drinking, smoking or drugging your way out the problem is the long term solution to to read it.

So don’t get down when the shit hits the fan, think your way out and around it and get into Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
