Laughter Is Contagious. Spread It Arund

Over the past few weeks I have been surrounded by people who have colds, coughs and flu-like symptoms. Fortunately for me, I have not succumbed to the germs and viruses that have been spread around, partly secure in my belief that being emotionally fit is what protects me. I am not immune from everything, however, and am glad to say that laughter is one of the most contagious of all symptoms.

Many diseases are catching if we let them catch up with us. How about if we are more conscious about spreading “good-eases”? A good-ease would include a smile, a compliment, a kind word, a touch, an appreciation and a laugh. Laughter is perhaps the most contagious of all the good-eases you can offer, partly because it is so spontaneous and partly because of its authenticity. A child’s laughter is the most catching of all for those reasons.

We learn to hold back from spreading our germs around when we have a cold or some other disease. Let’s not do the same for the good-eases we get. If you feel like laughing, let it out. Too often we feel inhibited and hold back from giving a terrific gift to others around us – a good laugh that comes from deep inside our being when we see the funny side of life.

Bless you!

In peace

A common phrase used in Coaching and therapy is experiencing an “Ah Ha” moment. A thought occurs to you that shifts your universe, you get a different perspective. A basic value that you live by is changed or altered. Everything concerned with your life, relationships, faith or even who you think you are can be effected. It happens in an instant. The roller coaster just reached the top of the ride and then, you just took off! This was mine, yesterday.
