Narcissist Bubble Popping Phrase - Nuclear Option

Image
  Saw this at the weekend, and holy cow, this is the perfect three-word phrase to pop a narcissists bubble in a moment.

I chose them pretty arbitrarily, on the principle that something was better than nothing, and the initial goals were: 10K steps every day (I have a Fitbit) Meditating every day for at least 3 minutes Doing at least one press up Doing at least one sit up From this basic table that I carried in my notebook, it rapidly escalated to a Google Spreadsheet that I update every day. The advantage of a Google spreadsheet is that it ...
