Factor in some FUN
It is really good to have 2-5 minutes a number of times a
day for R&R,
and I don’t mean a cup of tea or a magazine, those these are
to be valued.
Pray, Meditate, Self-hypnosis, Exercise – all the care-for-you
stuff
you don’t care enough to do for yourself.
Close the curtains and Dance, Karaoke, Act out a Fantasy.
Have a lot of silly, fun, vibrant 5 minutes joy ideas in a
box
and pick one out and enjoy.
Other examples are:
If you close your eyes and look up into your head and part
your teeth a little
and let your tongue float freely to the top of your mouth.
Then your body thinks, ‘oh, I’m supposed to be asleep’,
maintain this and in no time at all you probably will be
relaxed.
It’s impossible to be depressed and whistle – or so they
say.
So, it you feel silly walking along whistling, just whistle
in your mind
and if you are like me you’ll end up laughing in your mind.
Depressed people tend to look down at all the yuk on the
pavement,
try looking up, keep checking the tree tops, the ridge tiles
on the roof
and you’ll find some amazing chimney pots and garret
bedrooms,
imagine a story where you
bring light to someone’s life –
maybe a child who looks just like you.
Physically, as you look at the skyline you allow a little
sunlight into your body.
The sunlight on a grey day is really quite valuable.
Imagine that you are singing in the rain; find someone passing
by
or in your imagination to send that fun to someone and let it
ricochet back to you.
How many fun things are you going to allow yourself to have
today?
Divide the inside of a cupboard door into seven columns or
clouds and name one for each day.
Each time you have an enjoyable experience then add a
star.
And if one day is falling behind, then next week you can plan on having a
stellar day.
Remember you can choose to be miserable for 24 hours,
or you
can let a ray of sunshine break through, just a little tiny one, find a
real happy memory
that does not bring on a wave of misery and draw a smiley
face and then a little distance away
draw sad face that represents now, and with
coloured pens all held together in your fist or with colour in your imagination,
keep linking the two together with a rainbow until the sad face is all covered
over.
People seem to find it easy to love everyone and their
uncle,
but when it comes to themselves they seem a little short of the milk of
human kindness.
For a time period, and it may become a pleasant habit, give
yourself a gift.
A gift of noticing the sunshine, a cloud formation, a flower
in someone’s garden;
now, either move your hand to your heart and incorporate
the gift into yourself
or imagine this happening and smile inside yourself and say
‘thank-you.’
Now that you can allow nice things for yourself, I wonder of
you can imagine that
during a trip you are going to give yourself such 10 gifts, and
find them!
Appreciating how lovely if feels to receive a spontaneous
gift, why not give to others;
some understand this as ‘shooting prayers’ or
love or happiness.
As you walk pass someone think, ‘enjoy your shopping, your
children etc.’,
‘experience a little less pain’. One lady sent love to a
harassed bar maid,
who turned to the giver and beamed her a beautiful smile
before turning back to her stress.
At a conference people were asked to send me
love and the love of 300 people felt
like champagne bubbles in my body and I
giggled.
I read that if you catch someone’s eye and they smile at
you,
that that someone is an angel just touching base. So, smile
at strangers.
But the person who drops litter, who spits or is downright
nasty?
It actually works if you just say to yourself, ‘peace be
with you’.
For the lunatic on the road, try, ‘well, if you really have
to hurt someone,
let it just be yourself.’
And speaking of angels, some call this the Cosmic Ordering
Service;
ask for the roundabout ahead to be clear, for a parking space to
become available.
This always worked in the middle of Marbella, until someone
pointed out
that some poor guy would have to leave his tapas just to
vacate a parking place
at precisely the right moment for me.
My 99% success rate became zero and stayed that way !!!!!
Finally, if you are feeling downright miserable then just
have an exaggerated belly laugh,
put your fist on you tummy and hahaha in as
you pant out
And if you are like me you’ll feel so silly that you’ll end
up laughing out loud.
You
can TCR specialist and
language dictionaries that are spontaneously
accessed.
I
can Turbo Charge Read a novel 6-7 times
faster and remember what I’ve read.
I
can TCR an
instructional/academic book around 20 times faster and remember what I’ve
read.

just for fun.
To quote the
Dr Seuss himself, “The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more
that you learn; the more places you'll go.”
