decorating show on HGTV, there was a commercial for some
reality show, some real housewives of somewhere.
And just during that commercial, I could not believe how much
drama there was.
I thought, "my goodness", how things have changed.
What a change from the older shows.
It made me think back to shows like "Leave it to Beaver"
and "Father Knows Best" and all those wholesome shows of
the 50's. (I saw them in re-runs ;-) )
I don't think anyone's home life was as perfect as those
older shows, but I also don't think that anyone's life
has as much drama in it as that reality show I saw on the
commercial.
But for sake of this discussion, what if you really did
have that much drama in your life?
Do you really want it to stay that way?
I wouldn't!
To change your life to reduce whatever "drama" you have pertaining to
illness, upset relationships, upset over money,
challenges at work, whatever it is, the first step is
challenges at work, whatever it is, the first step is
QUIT GOING ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT IT!!!!
You need to STOP any drama and start to tell a better story.
Find a better feeling thought. Focus on something happy.
Keep doing this and using all the tools you have been
learning about here and if you have any "drama" in your
life, it will reduce until it is all gone.
And what a relief that will be!

I loath those shows, I agree about the shows that used to be on in the 8-'s when i was a kids they were good family shows no drama and they displayed good morals and family values, thats what we need now not some banshee screaming and shouting for the camera, reality tv is not reality its fake and they are getting a paycheck at the end of it thats something we need to remember - bring back the old shows i say lol
ReplyDeleteI agree and would love some great wholesome programming to return. My hope is that most people DO NOT have this much drama in their life and if so, that they do something to change it. Life is so much better when you live in joy most of the time.

Yes, what we focus on increases! My life is never boring (perhaps because I'm in it) but I choose to see things that just happen as interesting or exciting rather than dramatic and awful. It's all about perspective.
ReplyDeleteHarriet,
DeleteThis is true. Nothing really has a meaning until you give it one so if you can see what is happening and not get emotionally engaged or react badly, then you are more likely in control of your life. Also, those who are in control of their emotions and life generally do not attract so much drama in the first place.
Kathy
Oh, I can so get on a rant (you don't want me to get started, right?) when I turn on the TV and see all the shows about women especially that make us seem like every woman cares only for whether her hair is bigger than someone else's or her dress is the highlight of her day or .... fill in the blank. I do watch TV, and naturally pretty dramatic personality-wise AND those channels could take a hike and I wouldn't miss them. Much prefer my documentary and history stuff (or some of the things on HGTV).
ReplyDeleteMamaRed,
DeleteI agree! It is SO NOT a representation of my life or the life of most the people I know. I hope that young people don't believe this is how it is.
I agree about the history and documentary stuff and maybe a cooking or decorating show now and again. Minus any drama.
:-)
Kathy
The type of drama on those shows is such a waste of energy and so not creative or conducive to attracting anything but more drama. I turned off the television set a few months ago and haven't watched it since. It's made a huge difference in the way I feel everyday, I'm less stressed and have more time to focus on my business.
ReplyDeleteJulia,
DeleteI agree with you. One easy way to calm your life down and to allow better things to be attracted to you is by stop watching negative TV, watching or reading any news and staying away from negative people.
:-)
Kathy
So much for traditions, right? Some of those "reality" shows seem outright unreal! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Z! Visiting from the Ultimate Blog Challenge FB group.

Linda,
DeleteThe "reality" shows are totally UNREAL!
I'm loving the Ultimate Blog Challenge, too. :-)
Kathy
The bottom line is that most people's lives are so boring - they look for "drama" elsewhere - in other people's lives. I avoid those shows and watch 1980's repeats on itv4 :-)
ReplyDeleteJonathan,
DeleteI hadn't thought of that. Or maybe, they have so many trouble, they like to see beautiful, successful, rich people having drama in their lives? Who knows for sure.
I'm with you about watching older, better shows (if any at all.)
Thanks for commenting.
Kathy
I think some people are so addicted to drama that they don't know what to do with themselves when it goes away! I know I certainly couldn't handle that much drama in my life. I can barely handle the drama I do have!
ReplyDeleteGwynne,
DeleteI agree. I know that some people are addicted to their emotions including drama. That may be a new post on here come to think of it.
I prefer my calm life. :-)
Kathy
Oy drama. I stay away from it as much as possible. I hate the reality TV housewives obsession that has taken over television. I do not want to see people break down like that.
ReplyDeleteThat junk (yes, it is complete 'junk') is not good for mental health...either watching it or participating in it.
Angie, I do too. it is not good for your mental, physical or spiritual health as they are all connected.
DeleteThat is what I'm all about helping people to realize and change so that they can have a better life.
Thanks for commenting.

I know people I swaer they wake up every morning and say hmm what drama can I do today. many create their own situations. Frankly it is annoying when people complain yet they are the ones who create it.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn,
DeleteI'm sure that is what it looks like because people really do create their own situations. Unfortunately, most of them don't know what they keep doing that does so.
That is what I help people with.

I don't watch tv at all - no cable or an antennae. I decided to stop inviting drama into my life. And the TV is toxic - even if you try to avoid certain shows - the commercials for the crap still get in.
ReplyDeleteI encounter so many people who have so much drama in their life who say they "don't do drama" - and I am like, "Oh really?" however, I celebrate every single one of them who come to me as clients ready to ditch that baggage once and for all! Love your post today!
MelAnn,
DeleteI know what you mean. I went 12 years without TV of any kind. I rarely watch it still now. It is toxic. You can also get so much more done. :-)
So glad you love my post. I too love working with clients to help them first learn how the keep getting what they get and then helping them to change it so that they can then get what they want.
:-)
Kathy
Talk about synchronicity! This is wonderful. I was just speaking with a friend about my decision to impose some healthy boundaries with another friend who seems to constantly wish to recruit others into intense drama. Very timely! :))) THANKS
ReplyDeleteRobert,
DeleteI love it when that happens!
And I started doing that years ago and eventually those people faded away harmoniously.
Now, I'm mostly surrounded by very positive people.
:-)
