My Crusade to Humorize the World

 

I'm On A Crusade to Humorize the Entire World

Sound like a huge undertaking?
Maybe, but why not think BIG?

WHY MY CRUSADE???

Because the world needs humor and laughter in a BIG WAY!!

* Stress is making us ill and even killing us

* We're living in an age of Rage

* Violence continues to hurt and divide us

* We can't get along with one another at home, at work and even at play.

* We live in fear of so many things and we worry constantly about things that will never happen

* Huge numbers of us are on antidepressants and tranquilizers.
( 28 million Americans are on antidepressants)

* We have lost the joy of living

OK, but what can Humor and laughter do?

Glad you asked...

1. They cut stress in half by reducing cortisol
( The stress hormone)

2. Lower blood pressure

3. Increase your energy

4. Promote happiness and joy

5. Stimulate the immune system

6. Promote healing (physical and emotional)

7. Positive humor fosters a positive attitude

8. Promote social flexibility

9. Increase endorphins ( feel good chemicals)

10. Humor has been called SOCIAL GLUE because it bonds us to one another and reduces social conflict.

It is the most overlooked and underprescribed therapy going
AND THE MOST INEXPENSIVE

What can You Do??
1. Commit yourself to joy and laughter. We become what we focus on.

2. Become a humor hound. Carry a notebook and a pen with you and record the funny things your see and experience.

3. Learn to laugh at yourself.

Taming the Toxic People in Your Life

Ten Terrific Ways to Tame the Toxic People in Your Life

Some people are harmful to our health according to Canadian
motivational speaker/ humorist Mike Moore. “ Toxic people make up about ten percent of the population, but cause over fifty percent of all damage done to relationships in your private and professional life.” Moore says. “ If we don’t learn to deal effectively with the difficult people in our lives we risk losing our health and our sense of well being.”

People are often toxic because they get away with it and it works for them.

Assert yourself and toxic, aggressive behaviour begins to disappear.


Moore, author of the 8 week online course, “ Taming the Toxic People in Your Life ” speaks to organizations throughout the United States and Canada offering simple and effective strategies on becoming assertive and coping with the people in your life that make your life hellish. “People don’t exist to be the personal doormats of verbal bullies,” Moore insists.

You can’t change toxic people, but you can learn how to cope

with them and neutralize their toxic impact on your health.

Here are 10 Effective ways to handle the toxic people in your life

* Always stand at eye level with the person you are confronting. Never have them standing over you looking down.

* Respect the toxic person and always expect respect in return. Settle for nothing less.

* Remain calm.

* Listen attentively.

* Don't argue or interrupt, just listen.

* Don't accuse or judge, just state how you feel.

* If the toxic person tries to verbally bully you, just say, " I don't allow people to treat me this way." Then slowly and calmly walk away.

* When someone is being toxic to you here is a powerful response and one that is easy to use because you don't have to say a word. In the midst of a toxic attack just PAUSE....LOOK AT THE PERSON, WITHOUT EMOTION......TURN AND WALK AWAY. It works!

* Anger is sometimes a valid response.

* If all else fails you might be left with only one option; to separate yourself from the toxic person in your life.

YOU DON'T EXIST TO BE SOMEONE'S PERSONAL GARBAGE DUMP.

The Value of Cartoons

Not only do cartoons entertain, amuse, and challenge us to examine our attitudes and behavior, they also reflect our perceptions of life back to us for reconsideration and possible transformation.

The Lessons of Nature

Don't hesitate to post a response to my blogs. Let me know if I am meeting your needs.I welcome your input. Mike


To find happiness and peace of mind immerse yourself in the wonder and the beauty of nature. Its gift to us is peace; its lesson is patience.

The photo below was taken on the 15th of August 2009 while on a fly-in fishing trip from Chapleau ON Canada. The silence and the beauty were both comforting and healing.

Slow me down, Lord. Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.

"The sea never sleeps and in its vigil there is consolation for the troubled soul." Gibran
