Be Silly!!


The word for the week is "Silly."


Connect with your youth!  Do or say something silly each day this week--not obnoxious or inappropriate, just silly.  Each morning, be purposeful and plan the perfect time to be silly, to be amused.  If you’re on a first date, go for it!  The point of being silly is to create laughter. 

Did you know that you don’t have to laugh out loud to reap the benefits of laughter? You can just sit there and think of something totally funny and improve your mood.  Just smiling makes a difference.

Of course, I know that laughter makes you feel good.  It can cut the tension in a room.  It can certainly reduce stress.  But I’m probably the only one on the planet that didn’t know that laughter reduces pain and stress overall.  I had no clue that it increases creativity and your problem-solving ability.  The family or team that laughs together, stays together.  That translates to happier marriages and relationships.

 I will be silly and find opportunities to laugh often.

Check Yourself, Check Your Values!

The word for the week is "Values” We all strive to work in today’s dynamic times without compromising our values.   When the way we want to live your lives is aligned with our actions, we are happy.   When they are in conflict, unhappiness sets in and conflict ensues. This conflict destroys your ability to be creative, to innovate and grow personally and professionally.

Communicate for Outcomes!

The word for the week is "Communication” Communication is central to all aspects of life. It’s a critical skill for maintaining your personal as well as professional relationships. ·          Builds trust ·          Establishes credibility ·          Lays the foundation for great leadership Be aware of the nonverbal cues you receive when speaking your mind.   Silence does not automatically mean agreement. When communicating, ask don’t tell .   Being asked lights up “positive visioning areas” in the brain, associated with greater cognitive and perceptual openness.   Being told can activate “negative emotional attractor” areas of the brain, causing defensiveness. I communicate clearly and listen for clarity and understanding.
