Out of My Body - Out of My Mind

So I was a little panicky last Friday. If you were walking in my shoes, you'd understand why.

But now it's a new day of a new week of another chance to completely screw up my life and those around me. With one big difference... This time I'm not going to be responsible for anything that happens. Really! It's simple.

1) I am going to approach everything (person, situation, problem, etc.) with a Zen-like disconnect. I will be literally "out-of-body" floating outside myself "watching" everything happen around me (or at least the body that I've stepped out of). So, if I yell at people, forget to go to important meetings, shoplift a package of chewing gum, etc., I will not be actually responsible for the actions because "I'm" not really doing it. It's just the shell of my body. It's not my fault!

2) When someone questions my actions, my body (speaking in a very disconnected sort of voice) will simply explain that whole thing and walk away. It's a perfectly consistant response -- "I didn't do that. It was just my body. I am out of my body."

Some would say that I've lost my mind, but I would take issue with them. Out of my mind is really a better way to put it.

Stay tuned. I'll probably be reporting from the local jail in my next installment.
