Creativity Breaks are important. Every so often we are blessed with moments in life where we feel inspired or so proud of ourselves that we absolutely need to write down a thought or idea. I am not doing that here merely, giving myself a pat on the back as I enjoy writing so, my hard work paid off and I am taking ten minutes to write a brief little entry about...well I guess, essentially it is about how we need to remember that giving ourselves a pat on the back or a little reward is always important.
Conditioning is certainly what the idea is here, a reward/punishment system or as teachers call it, "token system". Student does something good, therefore they receive an incentive. That is ( think at least), the most basic "101" example of our survival instincts. One of the only primal things left about our ancestry that we full well still accept today.
Story about a guy with a dog. Guy named Pavlov (for those readers who know the story feel free to skip on). Had this big ol'dog, not sure what kind but for the story's sake, lets make it a beethoven looking dog, and lets say he totally had a keg of beer around his neck, because honestly. Who would not want a dog that just brings them beer. That is a dog you could TRULY call Molson. I think Molson is a great name so we shall call Pavlov's dog Molson (but side note: it drives me crazy how many people call their animals molson, yet that animal has nothing to do with beer, I mean; at the very least you could even say I was drinking Molson when I decided to get a dog, next thing I knew I was drink and there was a dog humping my leg when I woke up). Whatever, I just hope people are collecting on sponsorship of Molson-Coors :P or that Molson is collecting on that copyright :P SO! Pavlov's dog Molson, was a right alcoholic. it was terrible, this dog would party till the wee hours of the morning and was just a crude and rude individual. All the female dogs really didn't like him and he was certainly on the verge of doom. So Pavlov took pitty on this mistaken creature and felt like it was his fault since it was because of him that Molson became an alcoholic. Well seriously, I mean, the dog has a keg on its neck and when Pavlov is drunk, he is a mess, so he messed up putting the cap back on the keg a few times and spilling happens, then licking of floor/beer happens then the dog is looking at Pavlov and Pavlov gets angry cause he thinks the dog is judging him so he storms of to bed. The dog is curious and decides to venture into this unknown taste which soon comforts him all to well and helps him forget about the ruthless owners he has had in the past. Pavlov is going to cure Molson of his addiction, every day he gives Molson a beer and then makes him vomit immediately after. He probably does this for a week, three times a day. on the first day of the new week he tries to give Molson a beer and whaty happens? he vomits, so the dog's alcohol tolerance and self respect have not only gone down but his body has developed a natural ability to say "NO!" and not accept the alcohol. Afterwards, Molson lives a very boring and born again life after tearing out the throat of Pavlov since he ruined the one thing he truly loved in life. Every dog has its day, the end.
So ya, conditioning, its a thing. Remember, dogs named Molson...dangerous! Alcoholic dogs that are recovered alcoholics, even more dangerous :P but most importantly, reward yourself. Thanks for reading <3
ps. totally just jealous cause I want to get a dog that I think can proudly carry the name Molson :(
