Neighbourly's Good News
Last week I got out of my car to go to the Warehouse here in Rangiora and made a silly mistake. I forgot to take my keys with me and locked my car. I went to Super Cheap for some help but they could not help me, I then went to the Warehouse to see if they could help, BINGO, but they did not have a wire coat hanger to help unlock my car but suggested a coil of wire, okay that may work, no it did not as it was too soft, They allowed me to use the phone to call my wife to bring down a second key but the call would not go through. Then the young lady spoke to another staff member and she asked where I live and then offered to take me home for the key and bring me back. I was very surprised at this offer but very happy to accept it, WOW, talk about customer service. The young lady who helped to get the key was on her lunch break. Unfortunately I had forgotten their names. To the 2 ladies THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, it was very much appreciated.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
