WHEN STRESS MADE US SHORT & IRRITABLE, AND WE NEED TO MAKE AMENDS

WHEN STRESS MADE US SHORT & IRRITABLE, AND WE NEED TO MAKE AMENDS

Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII is a no-nonsense, say it as it is, matter-of-fact, oracle of wisdom kind of Coddle-Popper. His wisdom has been hard earned over nine hundred and seventy-five years of service as a Coddle-Popper Elder (When we take into account that one cannot be a member of the Counsel of Coddle-Popper Elders before their six hundred and ninety-ninth birthday, it can be safely said that he’s ‘been around the clock’ more than a few times!)

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

We’ve been under a lot of stress, and we’re starting to turn into a snap-dragon. We’re being short and irritable with the people around us.

We lack patience with our kids, we snap at our partner, and we’re a total pain in the backside for the poor souls that have to work with us! It’s not that we were deliberately trying to upset anyone, but our stress had ground us down and lowered our threshold for tolerance. As a result, we react overly harshly to things that we normally wouldn’t bat an eyelid to. 

Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII insists that as soon as things start getting a little more settled (and we’ve realized that we need to acknowledge what just happened), we DEFINITELY need to mend a few fences and make things right again.

SUGGESTION

Try saying this: ‘I’ve been really stressed lately, and I know I’ve been short and irritable with you. That’s not okay, and I’m sorry. You’ve done nothing to deserve being on the receiving end of my stress.’

WHY IT WORKS

Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII points out that it’s because we’re naming the behaviour that THEY experienced. We’re OWNING it (WITHOUT making excuses), and acknowledging that they DIDN’T deserve it.

TOP TIP

If they bring up more stuff (complete with specific examples), or say they’re really hurt by it, Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII implores us to LISTEN WITHOUT GETTING DEFENSIVE and even suggests we try: ‘You’re right, I did that, and I understand why it hurt. I’m working on handling my stress better so that I don’t take it out on you.’ 

Whatever we do, we DON’T follow the apology with explanations about how stressed we were. Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII wants us to understand that our ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE IMPACT matters MORE than the explaining of our intent (that’s the secret sauce of why this works).

FINAL THOUGHT

We are each a ‘Spirit’ (part of Source/Creator/God, insert your own Divinity here) having a ‘Homo-Sapien’ experience. Our life on Earth is an encyclopedia of experiences laid out FOR us (by prior agreement), in order for us to LEARN and GROW.

MORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII is a well-weathered looking Coddle-Popper (well, after nine hundred and seventy-five years as a Coddle-Popper Elder, one certainly would acquire a few wrinkles and creases!).  Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII likes to boast that he stands about 3 apples tall, but truth be told, he may be three apples tall, but the top one does have more-than-a-few bites taken out of it!

Being one of many in a very large family, Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII soon learned that the best way to get through life was with a ‘no-nonsense’ approach. He learned to always ask three valuable questions. Why has this happened? What caused it? and, What steps can I take to get to the solution? No ‘ifs,’ ‘ands’ or ‘buts.’ 

Just a straight talking, say it as it is, no-nonsense Coddle-Popper, which makes Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII the most eligible Coddle-Popper to host ‘Therapist Corner’ (offering easily achievable solutions to life’s niggles and annoyances).

Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII has overcome many years of constant nose whistles and temporary brain explosions to now be sufficiently competent in being the ‘go-to’ guy for ALL things (big and small).

(Nose-whistles: A nasal occurrence brought on by overthinking and/or brain-ache. There are two different octave whistles, depending whether an inward or outward breath. Prolonged nose whistles eventually bring on non-fatal brain explosions that do not have any long-term harm for the Coddle-Popper). 

Coddle-Poppers know to go to Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII for any issue they have, and know full well that they’re going to get a no-nonsense answer to their issue (well how do you think Noddy earned the ‘No-Nonsense’ name!)

To be ordained into the elite Counsel of Coddle-Popper Elders, only the wisest of the wise, judicious, and prudent Coddle-Poppers need apply. Sage-like qualities, complemented with a generous sprinkling of the very rare quality of ‘common sense’, would be considered an asset, but MUST have travelled around the sun at least six hundred and ninety-nine times before a Coddle-Popper can even be considered eligible for such a prestigious position as an elder in the Counsel. Noddy ‘No-Nonsense’ Nigglesworth VIII is one such Coddle-Popper.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Coddle-Poppers and Fairies are not medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, physiotherapists, naturalists, pessimists, legal or financial strategists, or even anything else that could possibly end in ‘ists.’ If you need help in any of those areas, please seek the help of a certified, pertinent, professional.

Even though Coddle-Poppers and Fairies give their services for free and with love, all of our wishes, intentions and healing are released to the ‘Higher Power’ for the greater good.

It is for this reason that, sometimes when wishes, intentions and healing becomes manifested, they are not quite as humans expected, and also… it may take a little while before the enormity of the wonderful gift that has been bestowed is finally realized. Yes sir!
