This month, we are looking at ways to make this year your best year. Giving attention to all aspects of your life will not only help you reach many of your goals but will also give you joy while you are pursuing them. This week we are looking at laughter, one of my favorite things.
"Always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life, but it will surely add life to your years." ---Anon
Sure, laughing at every situation isn't appropriate, however, there is always something to laugh at. Dr. Patch Adams knows how important laughter is when he goes into hospitals to be silly, clown around, and make the patients laugh. While having an illness itself isn't funny there are still plenty of things to laugh at if you look for them. This applies to all areas of your life.
Today's Coaching Challenge
What parts of your life are you taking too seriously? Think of how much easier things would be if you looked for the humor in your circumstances. It's like looking for the silver lining in the clouds.
I have personally been very successful and still have fun every day. While this may be easier for some people to do than others, it's a talent you can cultivate or just surround yourself with funny people.
Action to take
If you are a more serious person you might want to make a list of things that you think are funny and keep it with you for ideas when you want to lighten up a situation. If you are more lighthearted share that with as many people as you can to lift up their lives and yours at the same time.
Always supporting you, Jan
