3 Steps to Pump & Strengthen Your Humor Muscle by Steve Rizzo
Here are three steps or exercises that can help you pump and strengthen your humor muscle.
First, as soon as you wake up, tell yourself it’s a great day and that no matter what happens there is a power in you that can overcome any obstacle. Know that you are in control and that you always have a choice. Recite positive affirmations as you get ready to greet the day, like: “I am in control of my life.” “Whatever this day brings, there is something in me that is strong enough to meet it, overcome it, and be blessed by it.”
Second, find something to make you laugh, or at least put a smile on your face before you leave the house for work or where ever it is you have to go. You will be amazed at the power and energy you’ll get from doing this every day. In a short time, you will notice that humor ignites creativity, creativity leads to productivity, and productivity can be contagious. Why not start an epidemic of positive energy in and around your life? Why shouldn’t you start your day off in a good mood?
Use your imagination. Put your laughter cap on and be observant. It’s what I call observing and developing your humor insights. It simply means observe the funny stuff that is around you. Observe your kids. Watch how they grow up to be just like you. (more…)
