I desperately need guidance from a life coach and/or guru. Easton, please guide me through these trying times.
I know it's a bit cliche for a therapy session, but maybe you should start by closing your eyes.
Not now, and not all the time. Just when a Blues game is about to start.
Sit back, close your eyes, and play a clip of "When the Blues Go Marching In." Soak in a lengthy randomized montage of
Spotify hockey sound effects. Every now and then have someone else mix in some Dan Kelly
calls and
highlights.
Bask in the nostalgia. Let it take you back to a better time and a happier place. When you feel perfectly centered, open your eyes, look at someone you love. Reset yourself this way whenever the Blues put you out of balance.
If that doesn't work, plan B is to break things. A lot of things. Start with cheap things that you don't care about, and slowly progress toward more expensive things you do. At some point you'll (probably) either becomes so physically drained that all outside concerns are forgotten, or you'll reach a point where the things you're about to break are more important to you than your cathartic release. These things you can't break are tangible reminders that there are more important things in life to you than Blues hockey. When you're feeling overwhelmed by the Blues, come back to them for a bit of perspective.
