Be like a duck
Tip #12: Be like a duck.
I grew up with ducks. I learned something from those ducks.
When it rains just let the water roll off your back. Have you ever seen the way water beads up on a ducks back and rolls off it?
When my feelings are hurt because someone is criticizing me or when someone is in a bad mood around me I try to remember to be like a duck and let the feelings or words just roll off of me. I visualize their hurtful words as water beading up and rolling off my back and then I waddle off in search of more positive, pleasant people to be around.

Great advice, even (especially?) when what you want to do is go all crazy Canada goose instead.
Tara – ha ha ha “go crazy Canada goose!” 🙂
I am going to play that video every day! What a great mantra (and catchy tune!) – quack quack quack! (get down)
