beGROUCHY!!!

but…

DO YOU GET GROUCHY? DO YOU SNAP AT PEOPLE?

HEY LISTEN, IT’S OK TO ANSWER YES

IT IS COMPLETELY FINE. EVERYONE GETS GROUCHY.

IT’S NATURAL. IT IS PROBABLY A BIOLOGICAL &

PSYCHOLOGICAL NECESSITY

SO, GO AHEAD. BE GROUCHY IF YOU NEED TO BE.

HOWEVER

DON’T BE NAÏVE. KNOW THAT YOUR GROUCHINESS HAS

IMPLICATIONS

WHEN YOU’RE GROUCHY, YOU EMANATE NEGATIVE ENERGY -

WITH WORDS, BODY LANGUAGE, PHEROMONES, FACIAL

EXPRESSIONS

IF YOU’RE LUCKY, THIS NEGATIVE ENERGY

DISSIPATES BECAUSE

THOSE EXPOSED

HAVE MECHANISM

S TO DISPERSE IT

OTHER TIMES, THE GROUCHINESS IS SHARED LESS DESTRUCTIVELY –

LIKE A BITCH FEST ABOUT A COMMON CO-WORKER

HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY HAS

VICTIMS - EMPLOYEES, COWORKERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, STRANGERS, OR EVEN

SMALL ANIMALS.

SOMETIMES YOUR GROUCHINESS ACTUALLY HURTS THE PEOPLE

AROUND YOU

OTHER TIMES IT INFECTS THEM WITH THEIR OWN GROUCHINESS

IT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU. SO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT

SO HERE’S MY ADVICE

WHEN YOU ARE GROUCHY, BE GROUCHY. I’M NOT TELLING YOU

TO, “STOP BEING GROUCHY.” THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER…

ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES

FIRST, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RECOGNIZE

THAT YOU ARE GROUCHY

ONCE YOU RECOGNIZE

THAT YOU’RE IN A FOUL MOOD, YOU HAVE THE

RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY TO STAY

AWAY FROM OTHERS, OR AT

LEAST DISSIPATE THE

GROUCHY ENERGY ON SOMETHING INANIMATE

FINALLY, WHEN YOU CAN’T PROTECT OTHERS, YOU HAVE THE

RESPONSIBILITY TO APOLOGISE ONCE YOU REGAIN COMPOSURE

APOLOGISE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE HURT, BECAUSE PEOPLE MAY NOT TELL YOU & BECAUSE BEING

GROUCHY IS BAD MANNERS

BETTER YET, IF YOU ARE GROUCHY AND YOU KNOW IT, ACKNOWLEDGE IT. “I’M JUST SO GROUCHY TODAY! SORRY IN

ADVANCE”. THAT, IN ITSELF, MAY HELP.

SO…

BE GROUCHY,
