Why we should all do what George Costanza did

November 9, 2009

We all remember the days of Seinfeld right? I mean it’s still on all the time.

Who can forget the music? (Hear it in your head now?) It was one of my favorite shows. And now Curb Your Enthusiasm is a favorite of mine which stars the co-creator of Seinfeld.

Larry David is absolutely hilarious even more so because he doesn’t try to be. And George Costanza was loosely based on Larry David.

LD has good intentions for the most part, as did George. However, it just seems as though their natural self always leads them in the wrong direction.

I remember the episode when George was tying to pick up women and he started doing everything opposite of what he normally would do.

When George did the unfamiliar and what was uncomfortable to him he succeeded! It worked. The ladies loved George!

Hmmm! Seems like we can all learn from George.

For example, your usual self might see a cookie and then just eat it without thinking. If you acted like George in this instance you’d see the cookie and keep on going!

Or, let’s say you’re exercising. Your typical self would want to quit as the pain/tension becomes greater.

But, if you acted like George in this instance and did the opposite of what you’d normally do, you’d pretend the discomfort didn’t exist and keep on going!

Catch my drift?

Try doing the opposite of what you normally want to do. Just for today. You know, your short term, highly irrational self.

I think it’ll be pretty, pretty, pretty good!

Thoughts? I'd love to hear them! Share them with me on Twitter or on our feedback page.
