I'm Positive It's Saturday

Cate: Cate calling Goldilocks, come in, please, over

Goldilocks: Goldilocks, here, I read you, Cate. Go ahead, over.

Cate: It's hard to believe we're at the end of February and life keeps getting better and better thanks to releasing.

Goldilocks: So, how are you doing in that sector? Problems? Victories?

Cate: Down days are getting fewer and fewer, and it's becoming almost automatic to take responsibility for the things I don't like and letting it all go.

Goldilocks: I've also noted you're not beating yourself up as often and when you do, it's for shorter periods of time.

Cate: I'm noticing that too. I just wish I could get the courage to kiss this call center goodbye; walk out the door; never look back and never work another day in my life. That would be so wonderful. I really could if it weren't for George.

Goldilocks: What has George got to do with it?

Cate: I carry his benefits and insurance. I don't need them but he thinks he does because he's not a releaser like me.

Goldilocks: Do I detect a hint of pride and judgement in that last comment?

Cate: Yes, I guess you do. I want him to be a releaser. It's one of my goals. Our relationship would be so much better and I wouldn't feel like I have to hide my business dealings all the time.

Goldilocks: (thoughtfully) Mmmm, sounds to me like our old friend want is rearing its ugly head again.

Cate: (frustration in voice) How can you not "want" to have your spouse be a releaser. How do I let go of that?

Goldilocks: Now you're into "trying to figure it out" mode. Just let go of it like a hot poker.

Cate: (gloomily) That's easy for you to say.

Goldilocks: (undeterred) All right, then let's take a different approach. It's okay for your husband to be a releaser, it's the wanting that's not okay, remember? It's gonna avoid you like the plague bceause want is lack. That's one of the basic principles of releasing. Or have you forgotten that too?

Cate: Thanks, for reminding me. I am committed to achieve every goal I make.

Goldilocks: Good for you. And you can do it too.

Cate: Do you think so?

Goldilocks: (miffed) There you go again. I know so. But the important thing is do you know it? Well?

Cate: Yes, Goldilocks, I do know it. I just have my moments. That's why I have you.

Goldilocks: Don't count on me to bail you out of a tight spot. You have the power. Use it.

Cate: (playfully) Is that an order?

Goldilocks: (feigning seriousness) You darn right it is.

Cate: Yes, sir. I'd better return to my duties...uh, releasing, with your permsission, sir.

Goldilocks: Granted.
