TIME FOR A TEMPER TANTRUM
Today's task may not be easy for some of you, but please give it a try. You've been so disciplined and controlled lately it's time to lose it. The next time you're alone, I want you to have a good old fashion temper tantrum for 60 seconds. Kick, scream, yell, punch, pout, shake your hair, run, jump, fall out, growl or whatever melodramitic antics you can do to let it out! Make sure you use your whole body. (Think of a bad child who's horribly embarrassing his mother in the produce section of the grocery store) You need to be and act like that child today. This can be done in your car, closet, bathroom, garage, office wherever! Just make sure you're not disturbed while you're acting this out. While you're throwing your tantrum, think about whoever or whatever has hurt and held you hostage. For whatever reason, you haven't gotten your way so lose control and throw a temper tantrum about it just like the bad kid.
