What gets your goat?

Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

Hi Rainbow,
I totally know what you mean about when other people are having a rant or something and you start to get angry for "no reason". A tool I learnt recently that has changed all this for me and I thought I would share with you is "Who does this belong to?". There is a great youtube vid that explains it here "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3_3a1kG-ZY" but in essence when you ask that question if it lightens up or goes away its not yours so you then can choose to have that or not from choice rather than picking it up in other peoples spaces and buying it as yours. This tool can be used for every thought feeling or emotion you have/percieve.
Hope this gives you more choice next time. For more cool tools check out the free stuff page on AccessYou.co.nz
