RECOGNIZE YOUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS & ENERGY
- "That was too funny."
- "I haven't laughed that hard in a long time."
- "Everybody was thinking it, but he said it."
- "My belly hurts from laughing."
- "That was a little twisted but very funny."
You are buoyant and present. You find yourself amused at what is seeming mundane.
REALIZE WHAT IS DRIVING YOUR MINDSET
- You win by naturally finding humor in a situation.
- Humor is reason gone mad.
- You have a deep appreciation for the irony in life or a situation and can verbalize irony.
- You are able to spontaneously verbalize your perception of reality in a way that amuses you.
- You have a combination of surprise and creativity that creates energy flow and lightness.
- You see a unique perspective and communicate lightheartedly to bring and shift awareness to others.
RESOLVE TO MOVE FORWARD
- Humor is not for everyone. It is for those who want to have fun, enjoy life and feel alive. Invite people to humor rather than force it on them.
- Stay present - humor happens in the moment.
- Don't try to be funny - there's nothing worse than somebody who is trying to be funny.
- Look at the big picture and the finished product which will put this moment into perspective.
- Create the journey of achieving goals a fun one.
- Turn sarcasm into self-deprecating humor.
