NEWS and CONTEST
April 2001
"A relaxed attitude lengthens life."
HUMOR CLUB CONTEST
February-March Winner!
Sally's story:
Well I have to say I was a bit nervous as to what you 'wanted' exactly but I found this quite interesting for a contest, so here goes!
Recently, I felt me life was just going around and around in circles. You know the day in and out syndrome, no real feelings. That all changed after visiting the Doctor and being told that I had the beginning of a medical condition that would be life changing if I didn't do something to change my life style.
Well first I went into a bit of shock, worry and grief and then after awhile I went and still am today in the 'What can I do to make me better stage?' It was a new thing for me to have to really examine my life. I had to take responsibility for my thoughts and actions and knew if I wanted to get and stay healthy I had to change my attitude about a lot of things.
So I went to the source of information- the Internet. Information on personal change, self-awareness, healing, health and other such topics were amazing. I found some sites on humour (humor) that really peaked my interest. I never really connected fully that humor has a connection to my health. I always just thought laughing was me being humorous. It wasn't until I came upon your site and ended up ordering your guidebook that I am so much more aware of what humour (humor) is about and how not only I use it but how others use it. There is a lot of information in the guidebook but I am especially happy to see there are 'Remedies' to assist in my continued well-being. I have passed it on to a friend that really is enjoying it and has been able to use it with the concerns her son has at school from bullies.
I am happy to report after lightening up and going with the flow of life the medical condition has gone away for now (and forever I hope!) I want to say Thank you for the assistance your Website gave to me. Humor really does play a role in staying Healthy!

We have decided to have a View on different parts of the Humor for your Health Guidebook for this section. If you see a great article or request a certain subject in this section please contact us and we will work it in. Remember these are our Views that we hope will assist you.
This month's topic is on Attitude- the first Chapter of the Guidebook.
The definition for Attitude is ' a way of thinking, acting or feeling; a state indicative of purpose, mood or condition.'
So what does attitude have to do with Humor? Plenty. What does attitude
have to do with all areas of your life? Plenty. Attitude is really about how you see things in your life.
In the Humor for your Health Guidebook there is a quote about attitude that says, " Life is 10% of what you make it and 90% of how you take it." Does that resonate with you at all? (We don't necessarily agree with the percentage numbers but the point is clear.) Do you have the ability no matter what is happening or happened to right away or eventually see it with a sense of ease and humor?
All these questions are great to start asking yourself how you view life. We sometimes get or hear resistance about humor's place in certain areas of life. (Congrats to those who will admit that they don't really understand humor, primarily because of their past and are willing to learn about it.)
All of what humor consists of is so important for your well-being. The main question to be asked is who do you want to be in any situation? How do you want to look at life? Can you use your sense of humor when you are feeling ill, blue or downtrodden? Awareness is your foundation for growth and change. If you are presently holding an attitude about life that does not feel good, acknowledge it and choose what you would like instead. It is always about focusing on what you would like, not what you don't want. Two attitudes we suggest to adopt into your lifestyle are The Attitude of Gratitude and the Attitude of a Good Sense of Humor. These can really help to enhance and change your life.
If you have any comments on Attitude please feel free to send them to us at:
