On Friday I used the word GLOP and promised to elaborate this week. Glop is intended to remind us that our life's goal is to fill our pride bank and avoid shame and blame deposits. It is the standard by which I have tried to live my life.
Glop is an unattractive, unappealing word I use to describe anything that tempts people to put themselves in harms way. Glop lives large in alcohol, drugs,casinos, food,boardrooms,bedrooms and even shops--bricks and mortar or on-line.
Glop tempts people toward hurtful and self-destructive behaviors. It makes a mess time and time again. We see this over and over with famous and not so famous people.
I encourage you to check out your glopful potentials and choices and work hard to reduce or eliminate them from your repertoire. Check out the inventories at www.stopglop.com. I wish you health, healing and happiness.
Bye For Now,

Spitzer—The Verb!
As we have said stress often fuels a mess. It distorts our decisions and pushes us toward hurtful and self-destructive choices. I call the latter Glop. Glop is a word I use to refer to anything that tempts us into self-defeating behaviors.
There is glop on a plate, in a glass or pill bottle, in street drugs, at casinos, in the boardroom and the bedroom. There is even glop in stores at which we buy stuff we don’t really need. Glop easily becomes addictive.
I choose the word glop because it feels and sounds yucky. Who among us would want to do glop?
Glop feeds directly into your “shame and blame account,” while avoiding it by doing healthy and positive actions fills your pride bank. The stronger your “pride bank,” the better able you are to withstand hits to your piggy bank. The fuller your pride bank the stronger your confidence and self-esteem. With pride, confidence and esteem it is easier to feel optimistic, cope with challenges and mobilize productive energies.
In the past many years we have seen too many high ranking and visible people fall from grace to humiliating glop-filled positions of shame and blame. None of us are immune. Work hard to avoid glopful temptations. Commit to not “Spitzerizing” on yourself.
Be vigilant. Catch yourself before you fall rather than after. No one ever wants to say, “I had a disease,” to explain improprieties. Identify your vulnerable areas and seek support nets if need be. Follow every mother’s advice: Go slow. Be careful. Work hard. Have safe fun. Look both ways before you cross the line!!!
