Remedial Awesomeness: a step by step approach



My previous post was more of an overview and rereading it today I find it very slapdash and not too helpful. So for those of you who like step by step instructions I am going to do a series of lessons. Hooray! After passing each step you will be rewarded because it will keep you focused!
For example, you want to lower your spending, so for a month you are frugal and money conscious, at the end of the month, if you completed your goal you allow yourself to go on a huge shopping spree! It will be like that but more economically sound and will involve funny pictures. So are you ready? Of course you are! Because admitting you are deficient is 1/27 of the battle.

STEP 1: Be a person and always wear underwear.

Have you completed this step?
If yes, then Success! You’ve passed step one!
 
Now a brain teaser as a reward - What purred first the cat or the engine? 

Trick question!!! Neither, it was actually T-Rex!  

What!?! Crazy! 

I know! 

Science: It's amazing!

How to Reclaim Awesomeness

Rule one to becoming awesome or reclaiming your lost awesomeness: start small. Don't try and become awesome overnight, slow and steady wins the race. Reason: if you are megasuperawesomefabulous on Monday and get tired on Tuesday people will know you are lazy or are not inherently awesome. You want to slowly start adding awesomeness each day, then when you reach full blown awesomeness everyone will think you have been that way all along. It's like the Jedi mind trick of awesomeness. For example, my awesomeness has started slipping lately because of my inability to get up in the morning and put on makeup and real clothes. So the way to redeem awesomeness is to, as I said above, start small. I will shower everyday (more important than you may think) but still continue to stroll around in yoga pants and sweatshirts. I might add a little mascara at this point but on second thought let's not take things two quickly, I don't want any whiplash. After a few days I will start wearing clothes that are not made for 'lounging', start styling my hair and applying makeup. Then after a few weeks BAM!! I will stroll onto campus oozing awesomeness and no one will even remember the scary inbetween phase when I used 'au natural' as an excuse to hit the snooze button 15 times. Fake eyelashes and hair accessories you are within my grasp! I must stay strong and remember awesomeness is in the liquid eyeliner of the beholder.
