Picture this. You’ve had a terrible night’s sleep, you get out of bed, you look in the mirror and your hair’s taken on a life of its own. It’s as if, during the night, your hair leapt off your scalp, went out on a lavish all-night bender and then crawled back onto your head at about 4am to await your discovery a few hours later. So what are you going to do about it? How are you going to handle the day when it’s already treated you so despicably before breakfast? Well, you could laugh it off; and I don’t mean keep on laughing until your hair actually falls off. That would be stupid. Alternatively you could get upset. Just stare at yourself thinking WTF is going on? Why is it always me that has the bad hair? Who can I shout at first to make me feel better? But I promise that won’t help you. Here’s my advice on dealing with bad hair days - or bad anything days for that matter. Welcome optimism - with every setback, have an expectation of better things ahead. Optimism builds resilience. Talk positively - positive words stimulate the emotional part of the brain that ignite happy memories and experiences. It’s been proven scientifically I promise you. Have perspective - ok, so you’ve got bad hair today. But focus on the fact you have a roof over your head and a warm bed. Express gratitude for that. Focus on a solution - don’t be the victim of bad hair. Find a solution...take a shower and wash your hair, put in some hair product to reshape it, or wear a hat. Or laugh it off, put a brush through it, and say ‘sod it’. Remember, little set-backs only ruin your day if you let them. If you practice the points above, then very soon, those little aggravations will just pass off as surmountable obstacles in no time. Stay positive. Stay Bold. #boldornaked #sayitinbold www.boldornaked.com

Sometimes I really struggle with people. Why can’t everyone be more like me. I mean the world would be so much nicer....possibly sillier, but definitely nicer. I struggle most when people come across as dumb. I mean properly stupid. Stupid to the point where you’re left speechless. Moments where you can actually feel your jaw drop. You question yourself; did they just do that? Did I hear that correctly? Am I missing something? Are these people actually secret geniuses and I’m the idiot? Yep, that’s right, when you observe a dumb ass, self-doubt creeps in. Am I really from the same species as this person? Which brings me to Quora.com There’s nothing wrong with Quora itself, in fact it can be very educational at times. The basic premise is, you ask the Quora community a question - any question - and those in the know, will answer it for you. Useful eh? I’ve asked and answered questions on it myself. It’s when you keep going on the site you realise there are quite a few really odd, random questions. Most of the time you think to yourself, why don’t you just Google to find out the answer to ‘what does nauseous mean?’. And then there’s the downright stupid questions. These are the ones you read with utter disbelief. Half of your brain thinks it has to be a joke, the other half begins to question your co-existence on the planet with these people. So why should I be the only one to suffer these unfathomably stupid questions? Honestly, these are genuine. Here’s my top 10, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. 1. How will my cat react when she finds my poop in her litter? 2. What was the name of the ship in the movie ‘Titanic’? 3. Why don’t homeless people just buy a house? 4. Was Brazil ever a part of Pakistan? 5. We have horse racing, could we ever have fish racing? 6. My Mac book Air weighs 2.3 lbs. If I download more files on it, will it make it heavier? 7. What does it feel like to eat a book? 8. Can I have sex with insects? 9. Can you get an ant-eater drunk? 10. What if a girl farts when you propose to her? Erm...stay Bold people, not dumb people.
