A HUMOR STYLE 'THANK YOU' TO OUR NEW CLIENTS
OUR VIEW
Our view this month is on the way humor plays a part in this time called Holidays!
Make a choice to ask yourself, 'how can humor play a part?' In Chapter 14 of the Humor for your Health Guidebook is the Chapter on Tools. One of the seven tools listed is to start a Humor Library. It is a collection of anything you 'fancy'. It is the gathering of 'things' in one area that make you happy. The items can be in a box, on a bookshelf or all over your wall! Every time you visit it it uplifts you and makes you smile.
A gift you can give yourself for the Holidays is to make a Humor Library for you. How about sharing it with your close friends? How about making a commitment to expand on your humor library every month? How about helping someone else make one? How about putting together a 'humor' package for someone? For someone in need? It is a gift that requires your time and attention to giving and sharing. It is a gift that lifts spirits and lasts for years to come. We can make an agreement right now that Humor is part of our lives in a healthy, healing way.
We have added this section as a means of keeping it REAL with HUMOR! In this section we will advise you on the benefits of PLAY and some ways to PLAY! We welcome your input on the ways you PLAY at info@humorforyourhealth.com.
BENEFIT – provides a greater avenue of expression than just your words.
ONE SUGGESTION ON HOW TO PLAY – ever play a game with someone without
speaking? Your eye contact, your jesters and your body language say so much about how you play. Be aware the next time you play chess, work out or play with a child. Your actions speak louder than your words most times.
We are pleased to say that CATH'S first General Meeting was GREAT! Thanks to all those that attended! CATH"S Mission Statement is to passionately lead our community to a greater awareness, appreciation and understanding of the benefits of healthy, healing humor. Membership is available through calling 1 877 486 6777 or in Calgary 403-730-0737. Any other information you request please email us at info@humorforyourhealth.com.
We invite you to do your own Humor Evaluation at www.humorforyourhealth.com/humor_articles.html. Find the Sense of Humor Evaluation to give you a view of Humor.
Every month we will share a Humor Skill. They are posted under the 'Skills' Chapter in the Humor for your Health Guidebook with further explanation.
