Tired of living a life full of DRAMA? Is your DRAMA gas tank on FULL? Chances are that there's some kind of DRAMA going on around you right NOW. We want to help.
Below are the 'unofficial' guidelines on how to live DRAMA-FREE and the DramaStopper CODE. We believe that if you begin to do the following, the DRAMA in your life will STOP. Check them out:
1) Treat others the way you want to be treated.
2) Do not send mean-spirited internet/instant/xanga/facebook/twitter/myspace/text messages.
3) Make it a habit to think before you speak so you don't gossip, spead rumors, lie, or call people mean names.
4) Be willing to forgive... and forget. Revenge or retaliation is pointless.
5) Don't USE relationships to hurt other people. Don't USE your friends to get what you want.
6) Try and go to church regularly. A moral compass is a good thing.
7) Mind your own business by staying out of other people's problems (unless it physically or emotionally harms someone else).
8) Be yourself. Accept the fact that there is ONLY ONE you.
9) Don't have sex before you're married – this decision alone eliminates all kinds of DRAMA (especially that 'baby mama' DRAMA).
10) Deal with people individually. Work out the DRAMA between you and other people one-on-one.
11) Don't assume you know what a person is like the first time you see them - don't give people nasty looks.
12) Accept your responsibilities with a willing heart. Show that you're grateful by saying 'Thank You' more often.
13) Relax more - find hobbies.
14) Value friendship more than material things.
15) Don't blame someone else for something YOU did wrong. Take responsibility for your OWN actions.
As a DramaStopper, I WILL treat others the way I want to be treated by showing respect for my fellow man, I WILL invest in other people's lives by being a TRUE friend, and whenever I recognize any DRAMA going on, I WILL put a stop to it.
Following the guidelines and CODE starts with you. We know that DRAMA won't stop immediately... that it's a process. We also know that if you don't accept responsibility for your actions, the DRAMA will never stop. So, start by signing up to become a DramaStopper today!
