I have lived most of my life either feeling trapped or on the run.
Oh, occasionally I realize that I have become a Champion for the day, but before I can claim the title, it gets delayed in transit. When that happens, I try to rush things along but that usually ends with me getting the run-around. This constant back and forth is so irritable.
I mentioned to my doctor that all the delays are a pain in the a$$ and I'm tired of running. He suggested I add 1/4c (a handful in my case) of this cereal to my morning bowl of whatever every day for a month. He also instructed me to not use any muscles when reaching for that championship.
No muscles?! Gah...
But nope. He had his serious face on when he said that.
So I entered the championship determined to relax, let go, and walk, not run.
Wouldn't you know it - I became the #2 Champion relaxing on my zen throne in less than a week!
After going through the first box, or rather after the first box went through me, it's easier to maintain being a long-time Champion, and now I only toss a handful onto my whatever about 3 or 4 times a week. I have this cereal on subscription and have been a champion for the past 3 years.
But there's more to the story, of course. I love traveling, and get to do that quite a bit, but my champion status never seems to travel with me. On my most recent trip to visit my mom, I ordered a box of cereal to be shipped to me at her house, where I added 2 handfuls to my morning bowl of whatever.
Uh, that was a mistake.
Instead of a couple relaxing moments on her zen throne that day, I had seven.
And let me tell you, it's hard to relax when your mother is standing outside, banging on the door hollering, "You ok in there? Do you need any help?" (I'm in my 50s and am as experienced in managing myself in the throne room as you might logically guess.) I turned on the faucet full blast in reply, hoping she might think that's what the noise was.
By the next morning, I had once again achieved champion status.
During my extended visit with her, a second subscription box arrived at my home. Well gee, if I took my vacation box home with me, I'd be dealing with a backlog of the stuff that eliminates backlogs.
I left the box with her when I flew home so she, too, could be a Champion at the end.
