About a year ago me and my two friends wrote this, and I posted it on my facebook.. today, almost an entire year later, I got a comment from my friend telling me it had inspired her, and that she is in fact, beginning it! So, in light of her, I wanted to post it, yet again, to see if anyone else would like to take this challenge.. :) Have fun!

Once upon a time there were two girls, make that three, who hated themselves.oh, and sort of everyone else, but really that was only a hate of self. Anyway, these three NORMAL girls, were so so SO sick of being so negative. and angry. and quite frankly, pathetic. So, after a long talk of laughing, and joking, and feeling lame,they devised a GENIUS plan! Today equals day one of this plan, and already its going phenomenal, better than thought actually! Now? I, we, HAVE to share it! For, we're kind of hoping we're not the only ones like this...but kind of do so nobody else is as pathetic as us.. haha, anyway, if there are some of you like us, YOU NEED TO KNOW!!! Are you ready to change your outlook on life in FIVE SHORT WEEKS?
THE TURKEY FACTOR!
The "tukey factor" was devised to bring angry-self hating-stressed out-constant ice cream eating-unhappy-ungrateful-lashing outers- and well, all sorts of negative emotional people, HAPPINESS! In, FIVE WEEKS! So, here's the grounds. when deciding how to fix ourselves, we decided the first thing that has to change, is knowingWE are in charge of OURSELVES. that's right! crazy to think, right? (; Hence, were stopping all NEGATIVE thoughts right in there tracks. by using a different catch phrase every week. We decided we should start at the bottom of all catch phrases and work our way up, so we don't burn ourselves out, or trick ourselves into fake change, and believe me, this IS possible. (: Here are the five catch phrases to optimistic-ness!
WEEK ONE: "I DON'T CARE!"
WEEK TWO: "I LIKE IT!"
WEEK THREE: "I STRONGLY ACCEPT IT!"
WEEK FOUR: "I DIG IT!"
WEEK FIVE: "I LOKE IT!" (that is a mix between "like" and "love.")
and for the final HURRAH! ...
WEEK SIX: " I LOVE IT!"
( we don't count week six as a step, because its your plateau. its where forever more your thoughts will live!. (: )
Now that I've somewhat explained the working of the turkey factor, I'm quite sure you have some questions. some of them maybe being, "why in the heck is it called the turkey factor?" and, "is this crazy?" Well, I have answers for you! (:
question one:
Why is it called the turkey factor? This is easy. Hold up one of your hands, and point to your thumb. THIS is your "I don't care!" feather. Next, point at your pointer finger, THIS is your "I like it!" feather. Now, point at your birdie finger, THIS is your "I strongly accept it!" feather. Your next finger over is your "I dig it!" feather, and your Pinkie? Why this is your "I loke it!" feather. (: Now, take a look at your hand, all of these "feathers" together, are the turkeys body. Now, take your other hand, and form it into a thumbs up. The side of that hand that is smooth, place it one the palm of your feather hand...TADA!!! you made a turkey! Thus, the turkey factor! :D (ps. if yo shake your fingers, it gives this a cooler effect.) (;
question two:
Is this crazy? Your answer? Yes. BUT it DOES WORK! here's a classic case study for you. (:
"Hello, my name is Kiri Reisner, and I am a strong believer in the Turkey factor. It has changed my life. I used to be a cynical hate everything, and cry all the time type of girl, but with the turkey factor, i am quickly becoming a girl who is confident, and good, and most of all...HAPPY!! i would recommend it to EVERYONE. and, i will not give this up. ever. (:"
So, as you can see, this DOES work. and is worth the try. Think about this,if everyone you knew began the turkey factor, how much better would life be? A LOT. thats all i know. (:
a few points to remember, and know.
1. The Turkey factor was not meant to help you become rude. so when Your mom asks you to clean your room your reply shouldn't be "I don't care" in a "I-hate-you-don't-tell-me-what-to-do" type thing. but a "Sure!-I-would-love-to-cause-it-wont-bother-me-at-all-cause-i-don't-care-!-(:" type of way. (: THeres a big difference. don't abuse it kids!
2.After each week, pluck a feather from you turkey. so by week six, when you LOVE! you have a bare turkey to eat for thanksgiving, and a thumbs up for all your hard work!
3.TELL EVERYONE!
