When was the last time you had a good “belly laugh?”  Research now is validating  the health impact of laughter and lightness of heart. A study from Vanderbilt University shows you can burn up to 40 calories by genuinely laughing for 15 minutes. So pop in your favorite funny movie or sitcom on DVD and giggle to help whittle your waist!

My daughter, Kristin and her husband, David, are living in Budapest, Hungary and you will be hearing about my journey to visit them in the next couple of weeks.  I truly miss the laughter of my granddaughters, they are great gigglers!

Guaranteed to make you smile.

Find something to giggle about this week and notice that your heart, your spirit and yourbody feels lighter. Take time to laugh, love yourself and enjoy the moment.

This past week, there was an opportunity to attend an event two hours away in New Hampshire.  Six of us gathered at 5:30 in the morning, in a parking lot near the route we had planned to take.
 
Even though it was just before sunrise, everyone was wide awake and brought their excitment, energy and enthusiasm.  Since we were traveling together, in the same car, there was a delightful anticipation of also having some fun.

We “showed up” for each other. It was almost taken for granted that we came committed and prepared to help create a trip that would be positive and enjoyable.  We had a blast!

 
Think about what it means to “show up” for yourself.  What if you were to “show up” for yourself, all day, every day, and with excitment, energy and enthusiasm?  What if “Showing Up” meant you were also going to have some fun?

Soften the inner voice in your head that might say:”I’m too tired”, “I don’t have the time”, “I’ll never make it work out”, “No one will notice”….BUT..You will notice!

“Show up” for yourself with passion, enthusiasm, and energy. Remind yourself that you count.  Loving yourself is a way to support your motivation for your life to be better. It is a truth that we want life to be better…not perfect, just better.

You can share my new motto and enjoy the day! “If it isn’t any fun….find another way to do it”

Be well and stay that way,
Gena
