The Pesky Ones…. Just Scramble Them!

All of us happen to meet pesky people in our life. We find others stepping on our shoes and we step on others’ shoes many times.

An easy solution to handle such tricky scenarios or people is to look at them with wonder or amusement. Instead of getting upset by their worst or best habits, we can take it as a new view of the world. Instead of saying” How could they do this?” we can say, “Hey, how different and funny they are!”

Swami Sukhabodhananda in one of his discourses, offers hilarious tips to handle bullies. He says if a relative or a boss is getting on your nerves, just imagine them as being dressed in a funny attire, like pre-historic tribal wear or a swim suit. Then envision them haphazardly dancing away to glory, with a guitar in hand perhaps. You could think of long painted horns on their heads too.

Otherwise, just scramble bothersome people in your heads. Imagine a hot vessel in which you do an egg scramble of people who amuse you too much! Add few spices if you want. Red chili powder would be good. Just give it a shot and you’ll see.
