Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you had an absolutely fabulous on this oh so good Monday and that you had a wonderful weekend. Today is the 23rd of June 2008 and that of course means that it is the Monday Edition of the Morning Cruise… So once again another weekend has come and gone, I do hope that you got all and I mean all the rest that you deserve this weekend, and that you got to spend time with those people in your life that you care for so much. I also hope that you relaxed and chilled out too, so that you can start this week a fresh with a positive perspective…turning over a new leave…for me this week I decided to… just take it so easy and I’m sure you’re taking it easy on this Monday Morning.

Moving onto today’s show we had all the usuals such as you’re Word of the Day, your SA Q&A, and you’re Tip of the Day.

We also featured a package:

· Done by Tina George the feature was a round the question around “Should a child be expelled for sexual acts after the expulsion of a 8 year-old boy from a Cape Town primary school.

Word of the Day:

DEFENESTRATE - To throw out of a window

Trivial Question:

Q: Name the minister of Education? Is it A – Brigitte Babandla, B – Naledi Pandor or C - Patricia de Lille?
A: B – Naledi Pandor

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about Letting Go of Your Perfectionism…now overcoming perfectionism requires courage, for it means accepting our imperfections and humanness. So here are some tips …

1. Make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of trying to be perfect - When you make your own list of costs and benefits, you may find that the costs are too great. You may discover that problems with relationships, eating and substance abuse problems, and other compulsive behaviors you actually outweigh whatever advantages perfectionism holds for you.

2. Be realistic about what you can do - By setting more realistic goals, you will gradually realize that "imperfect" results do not lead to the punitive consequences you expect and fear.

3. Remember to be yourself - Remind yourself that there is a difference between good enough and perfect.

4. Learn how to deal with criticism - Perfectionists often view criticism as a personal attack, responding to it defensively. Concentrate on being more objective about the criticism, and about yourself. If someone criticizes you for making a mistake, acknowledge the mistake and assert your right to make mistakes.

5. Accept - That everyone, including you, makes mistakes. Most people learn through trial and error.

Quote of the Day:

Dale Carnegie - If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Monday and a wonderful weekend. Let’s chat again tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.
