Can you see the funny side?
I have been extremely busy over the last couple of weeks, coaching, training and following up marketing opportunities. It is easy when we're under pressure to take things too seriously and to forget to smile. It would have been easy for me to feel discouraged that 2 people dropped out of my course the night before it ran as they suddenly had to go to hospital. The other way to look at it (once I knew they were ok), was "I'm amazed at the lengths people will go to to avoid my courses!" (maybe just my sense of humour but it made me smile!)
Quick Quote
“You can't really be strong until you can see a funny side to things” ~ Ken Kesey
A bit of fun
When things are a little stressed at work or at home or if your kids have done something annoying:
1.Take a deep breath and stand back
2.See if you can see the funny side
3.Smile (even if you can't see a funny side) - it makes you feel more attractive, confident and positive
4.Share your funny thoughts with others so they can smile too
5.Also, think of activities and people who make you smile and schedule some time in your diary (if you find this hard, my Time to Achieve course will help you enormously)
I challenge you not to smile at this clip. It is hilarious:Baby video. The Dad is tearing up his rejection letter and making his baby laugh so much you wonder if he can actually take a breath - an amazing lesson into how to turn adversity to hilarity.
Have you got any examples of when you've seen the funny side that you would like to share?

I have a funny story that happened this morning which made me and my daughter giggle.
She came into my bed for a cuddle this morning(she's 12) and I tried to do a face massage routine on her face just using my nose. It was very funny! (she knows the routine well as I am an Infant Massage Instructor). Then of course she had to do one on me. I don't think it will take off commercially but we had a laugh and was a lovely start to the day. - Anne (www.edinburghbabymassage.co.uk)
That's lovely Anne. It so lovely to have giggles over silly things with our kids. One of the best bits of being a Mum for me...
