When In Doubt, Laugh It Out!

When in doubt, laugh it out 😂

My day didn’t start out with laughter, but I chose to bring it to the day. Let me explain. When I woke up this morning, my mind was whirling, lots of things on the to do list.

Normally before I get into the list, I make sure to sit in meditation grounding myself in gratitude. But for some reason today, I didn’t.

I dove right into the “to dos”. Not a good idea I might add. As it would happen, the first thing on the list (make breakfast) was something that turned out to cause me a great deal of frustration.

In my efforts to prepare and cook pancakes for us, I ended up burning the bottom of the batter bowl, charring the first pancake, and having a bit of hot grease spit on me. I felt the thought creep into my head...”it’s just going to be one of those days”.

But then it happened...I paused and found myself say aloud, “No it’s not”. As I held Skye in my arms, I took a few deep breaths a brought a smile to my face and laughed at that which had just occurred.

This laughter continued into our breakfast together. By pausing, taking some deep breaths and choosing a higher vibe, I completely changed the direction of my day for the better.

Because at a fundamental level, the day itself is miraculous. Its our energy, emotions, thoughts, words and actions that create our perceived reality.

Just because a day starts a certain way doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Stay open to things shifting and changing moment to moment, hour to hour. 

So much of it becomes a choice if we’re aware of it. Thanks Skye for laughing with me...you make me a better person and help me to not take myself and life so darn seriously. I’m grateful.

Remember, we've heard it a million times, but when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

In those moments, when it feels like you're going to explode...pause, take some deep breaths and call to mind something you can be grateful for. This simple yet profound practice can make all the difference in the moment and in your day.

Wishing you abundant health, wealth and happiness,
