SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - LIGHTEN IT UP

The real challenge for all of us is in facing life's hard times with out the bitterness.  We are constantly tempted to devolve into victim-hood.  You know it when you're there…

When bad things happen do you catch yourself saying:  'it only happens to me', 'I've got it really bad', 'welcome to my world'?

These are all ways we use language to heighten and intensify our suffering.

The outcome - the final destination - is perhaps not as important as the journey - the only choice we really have is how we handle the interim.

Keep looking for the light…

4 STRATEGIES TO LIGHTEN THE DARKNESS

With every resentment make yourself find an appreciation - and say both sides of it out loud…

Listen to country music - you know - all those 'She done me wrong songs' and sing along - out loud!

Howl!  Get into your inner wolf and let out a few really good 'Awooo's'!

Chant that nursery rhyme about going into the garden and eating worms - keep going until you get the joke!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKQmcfTJ1GA
