Erasing the Imprint

Nothing indicates a good night’s sleep like waking up with zigzaggy lines across your face. Here’s what happens: you sleep in the same position with a bunched-up part of sheet on your pillow for a few hours and—wham—you spend half the morning with imprints decorating your face. They’ll disappear eventually, but until then that’s the face you’re forced to show. Imagine living with something that’s not disappearing anytime soon. Something like this:

We forget that every situation, whether it’s where we lay our heads or how we choose to present ourselves to the world, creates ripple effects. Ripples shock us when they create scars either on ourselves or on family members and friends. Unfortunately, scar removal always comes with a price. Thinking about your personal scars, what’s it going to cost to make them disappear?

The Best Wash

Raise your hand if you need a car wash. It’s one of my least favorite ways to spend money. Oh sure, I could hand wash my vehicle, but car washes are so darn relaxing. Swish, swish, swish, I can hear it now. There’s something soothing about the big brushes and spongy flaps sliding across the windshield, and who doesn’t enjoy the few moments of peace and relative quiet. Too bad it only lasts about five minutes. Somebody should design a car wash that, once you reach the end, goes in reverse to prolong the experience. Watch how this business takes car washes to a different level:

There’s nothing relaxing about that—unless you’re hypnotized by lasers. Well, we’ve discussed the car’s exterior. What about the inside? Take a look at your car’s floor, backseats, and dashboard, and don’t forget the trunk—who knows what’s lurking in there (last week I found a tiny container of old blueberries in mine). I find it much easier to clean up a vehicle’s outside than its inside, and the same holds true for us. Spring’s not far off. Soon we’ll be focused on our appearance in beach attire, but what about our insides? What’s the best internal change you’ll tackle to create a new you?
