Tips on the Importance of Laughing even During Tough Times

Hello Dear Readers!

Do you know about the importance of laughing?
When’s the last time that you focused on something humorous?
Are you ready to smile – even just for a moment?

If so, please stay right where you are to take a quick moment to use your smile muscles.  I know you can do this! 🙂

Many of you know that most of my writings and coaching are about communicating through conflict. A hidden gem is that HUMOR has always been an important part of my life. I’m NOT a humorist! I am an individual who fights daily to find something positive even during low times in my life. I’m a realist and see that many people have forgotten to look at the good that is also happening right now even during the pandemic. A few of you asked me to write some upbeat articles for the next few articles. Your wish is my command.

The next few posts will be taken from a new site that we’re creating.  The site will give readers FREE quotes and Action Steps on communication, dealing with conflict, positive mindsets, motivation, etc.
The vision is that people who sign up will receive FREE tips and positive news delivered to their email once/week for one year.

You will find 2 of the tips below.  Please comment and answer the questions so we can start communicating with each other on these safe and fun ideas.
I’m all about reducing drama and finding more peace and respect in our life.  I’m not asking for much, right? 🙂

Tips To Be Happy #1 on The Importance of Laughing

Realize that humor is all around you. You simply need to give yourself permission to find it. Take a moment to think of something that made you smile or laugh recently.
Write down this memory on what made you smile or laugh.

“Humor is a skill. We need to train ourselves to look for and find it.”

The photo is of my grandson Dylan who is now 20 and an engineering student.  It was fun for me to include this crazy photo. I used to dress as a clown and do magic tricks at reading rallies in Detroit.  No, I will not share a photo of me in a clown suit! 🙂

Tips To Be Happy #2 on The Importance of Laughing

Keep a daily humor journal, with a cartoon or story that made you smile. This will help you start looking for cute or funny things that happen every day.
Cut out or download a cartoon or write a story that made you laugh this week.
Send me an email HERE with a cartoon or photo that made you smile and I will send you a surprise!  Can’t tell you what it will be, or it won’t be a surprise. 🙂
