Eccentric’s Simplicity Equation

Focus: Plans

People often ask me, “Why don’t you make plans and stick to the plans?”

Well, there are several reasons for this:

What is the point in making a plan? For example: “Would you like to have lunch on Saturday?” My response typically is “I don’t know, can I call you on Saturday?”

Why?

Feeling the pressure of said plan, when may get up that morning and just feel like taking the dog to the park, or just watching movies and vegging out all day, or it may even be an actual occasion where in the mood to clean all day.

If the mood to clean and work all day strikes me, which is not often because fun is always over cleaning, than I surely have to change the plan to clean and do housework.

Mood – What if I am not in the mood for said made plans on that day?

Cancellations – Think it is breaking a promise to break plans…so, why not just never make plans until the very last-minute…then, no promises broken.

You might be thinking, “this sounds like a negative outlook.”

No, it is not, because the” no making of plans”, means no promises broken or hurt feelings.

What if I really need sleep that day? I cannot predict the future.

The Equation: 

No making of plans until very last minute = no breaking of promises or hurt feelings

My aunt is the same way, and I sort of picked up this technique from her, smart woman.

She and I are much alike, in that if we get in the mood to clean, we have to clean that day or it simply will not get done.

So, in conclusion…

If you never wish to break a promise or cancel on another person, make plans at the last-minute and do not RSVP – ever.

To be honest, seems like each time ever made a plan, something always comes up…always. So, what is the point of a plan?

Can I predict the future? No. So, why make a plan?

Actually makes logical sense, if we think about the problem solving involved in the equation.

No plans = no pressure = happier = no breaking of promises or hurting relationships.

What’s the plan?

To have zero plans

How do you cancel plans politely?

No plans in the first place to cancel.

Blogging Relationships: Time to End?

•Blogger is using you for traffic/stats

•You feel uncomfortable for any reason

•Blogger is not genuinely interested in you or your writing

•Get a strange “gut” feeling about the person

•Think Blogger may have other hidden agenda (such as wanting to date, when you are not interested)

•You simply do not like their writing

•Blogger tries to “show you the light” and push their religious beliefs on you

•The blogger never reads your posts or comment (because they only care about themselves)

•Blogger tries to change your political beliefs

•Blogger “stifles” discussion on your post, tries to focus attention on themselves or to sway readers to their religion or politics (when discussion is not on religion/politics)

•Person simply has no love for writing, they do not honestly enjoy reading & writing

Emotions Shall Not Rule My Life: Period

 

Well, people who have been following Eccentric for a while now know that I have been in a very pissy mood lately. So, I have decided to write this blog post to vent and seriously do not give a rats ass, if everyone I know here in the real world reads this blog post.

Eccentric’s followers also know that I love to put things in an organized fashion for readers who have very little time on their hands to read blog posts, I often put thoughts in a list form, or in a easy to read paragraph with bold headings, or just a short post. I understand that people do not have all day to read and comment on blog posts, because you have a life.

I am extremely pissed off due to the following reasons:

  1. Two people whom I love with every bone in my body is sending me very mixed signals right now.
  2. Their actions are not matching their words.
  3. I see things in black and white, there are no “grey” areas with me.
  4. I feel a person either loves me or they don’t, that’s it, end of story, period.
  5. If a person doesn’t love me, than they need to get the hell out of my life forever.

Tough love has no effect on me.

I am 34 years old, not a teenager, so if you know me personally and are reading this, and you love me, I suggest you do the following within the next month:

  • Show that you love me in some way, shape or form
  • This could be in a letter by mail, text message, e-mail, phone call, Facebook or any type of communication
  • Stop playing games with my feelings
  • Put yourself in my shoes
  • I have put myself in your shoes, but the logic still is not working
  • There are pieces of the puzzle missing and information that you are not giving to me, that is why there is massive confusion in the relationship

You (to those who know me) have to understand how my brain functions. My brain functions in the following way:

Step 1: Researches and reviews all available information on the issue or problem.

Step 2: Takes a look at the problem from every angle, and puts myself in your place, looks at the issue from your point of view.

Step 3: Tries to put logic and common sense into place when trying to solve the problem.

Step 4: Employs all problem solving techniques that I have learned from life problems, college, school or work.

Step 5: Come to a conclusion.

However, in this case, my brain is unable to come to a logical problem solving conclusion. Why? There are pieces missing and information missing from the problem, so Liz cannot resolve the problem(s) in the relationship(s) or have closure on any issues.

I wish to make the following statement loud and clear:

A.  You (who know me personally and claim to “love” me) may think that I am stupid, you are dead ass wrong.

B.  You are causing massive confusion in my life.

C.  You have one month to fix this massive confusion or you will be removed from my life, for the rest of it.

Love = Action NOT Words in Liz’s Dictionary

You can say “I love you” fifty times a day to me, but if your actions do not match your words, don’t bother speaking to me. You are causing much unneeded stress in my life because my brain cannot solve the puzzles that you are dishing out.

If you love Liz, you have one month to prove it, or be out of my life for the rest of it.

I refuse to allow you to cause massive confusion in my life, and will NOT keep apologizing for my personality. My personality is aggressive, opinionated, and passionate.

You either love me for who I am or not, I cannot change the personality I was born with, neither can anyone else.

One month to stop the confusion, let me say this once more, you have one month……..

I believe there is a countdown widget, which I will place on this blog.

One month.

I refuse to allow roller coasters of emotions to rule my life.

The Little Room

No clue how to begin to write this or explain this topic that is rolling around up there in the brain. The only way for me to get started  is to just type away with no rough draft.

Have you ever had a person in your life that makes you feel like they are limiting your potential? This is so hard to explain. The person does the following things: (more…)

Dare of the Day

Dare: Do something today that makes you happy and feel alive.

I am taking my dog on a few hour hike deep in the woods (yes alone). Even though it can be scary going that deep into the woods alone, I love exploring.

Nature makes me feel refreshed and alive!

Would love to hear the results if you plan to take on this dare to happiness.

Have a wonderful and joyous day.

Healing from Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes.

We cannot keep unforgiveness in our hearts. It is not good for the mind, body or soul.

History teaches us that unforgiveness can be passed down to the next generation.

A person will reap what they sew. If we choose not to forgive a person for their mistakes, it does not erase the past.

The past cannot be changed, but only the path to the future.

“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”
—Jesus

Forgive people in your life.

Report Posts vs. Wikipedia

Problem:

Read a very long blog post the other day, the post had (5) different main ideas. The post was extremely long. Blogger put much work into the post, and was receiving no comments. The post could be five different posts.
