A wise book that I read says that a cheerful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit saps a person's strength. In other words you need to be laughing a lot more.....
Sometimes life is just tough and you have to find a way through that. Usually other people can't do that for you so you have to find a way to put one foot in front of the other. I think generally we are too hard on ourselves. I don't see that in myself (of course) but when I look at friends going through tough times I often observe that they use words like should, must and have to. Actually sometimes you just need to let go of things and grab hold of a different perspective. Not easy to do I admit but here's an idea.
Just like its good to eat fresh food to clean your palate, sometimes we need fresh thoughts to clear our mind. Over the last few months I have fallen in love with Aleksandr & Sergei. They are the hilarious Meerkats found on the insurance comparison website. Seriously, they make me giggle every time. Big Red does not share the joke, he's a pretty serious bloke, but now I can get him laughing ridiculously at me laughing at the Meerkats. I can't even drive by their road sign without chuckling.
So, when you are feeling a bit blue, when you feel like your sap isn't flowing anymore, check out the Meerkats or find an equivalent, stupidly funny something that makes you smile. It wont fix all your problems, it wont make them go away but.... I guarantee that after a good belly laugh you will feel a bit better. And even if that is just a tiny bit, isn't it worth it?
