WAKE UP And LIVE Your Life with Smiles and Light!

With Some Giggles and Laughter, Too.
by Sue Johnson

Get Ready . . .
Are you ‘running low on energy?’ Juggling the demands of jobs, family & finances?  Do you have other life issues affecting your ability to “pursue your passion?” Do you still have the strength to meet daily challenges & overcome obstacles? Do you wish you could Renew, Reenergize, and Revitalize?
 
WAKE UP And LIVE Your Life with Smiles and Light!not only reminds  you to use Humor & Laughter to manage stress, but as a Healing  Force to open up the Creative Process for changing your life on all  7 aspects of your total being. What are they? The 7 aspects are . . .     Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Financial, Material and  your Relationships.

Do you know that the new “old” age is 100 years. It’s true. You’ve still got lots of time to put Smiles and Light into your life.  On the other hand, today could be your last day alive, so you might as well get into the habit of putting Smiles and Light into your life, daily . . . Just in case.

Yes, we all know about being an adult, acting like an adult, assuming adult responsibility.  We know we’re supposed to be a ‘serious’ adult in a serious world, with serious responsibilities.” 

Awww! Come on. Forget about being an adult. Just for a few minutes each day. You can do it. Don’t read the newspaper, except for the comics. Turn off your cell phone. Let your phone calls go into voicemail. Don’t open your emails. Change the TV news to a cartoon channel. Leave your iPod and blackberry at home.

You say that you can’t “live without” the technology? Remember when the whole northeast section of the United States lost power and went dark for several days, in 2004? Remember the tsunamis, the hurricanes?  Remember that just a few short years ago, you lived and breathed every day without this technology. It hadn’t been invented, yet.

OK, so, hopefully, I’ve convinced you to put aside the technology, at least for a little while each day.  Now, you can spend time to WAKE UP And LIVE Your Life with Smiles and Light.

What are the principles and practices to WAKE UP and LIVE Your Life with Smiles and Light?

The principle is . . .

       Enjoy A Lifestyle of Wellness, of Total Health & Well-being.

Wellness is a systematic holistic approach to living a healthy, harmonious life in body, mind, emotions and spirit in an ever-changing, stress-producing environment with is filled with     complexities and contradictions.

  .   What is the quality of your life now?

Answer this question for yourself. Now start to direct your energies to where and how you can put more Smiles & Light into your daily life.

What you can do you for yourself to get into and stay in – the best possible physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health?

Now is the time to choose your very own ‘wellness’ lifestyle based on your unique personality.  The emphasis is on now.  For every time you giggle, laugh or smile now, you can increase your power to prevent, cope with, or minimize future life, health, money and relationship problems. Let’s face it.  You have to work hard at feeling good.  So, why not have some fun while you’re at it?
  
WAKE UP And LIVE Your Life with Smiles & Light! can make the hard work appear easier and more enjoyable so that you can’t help but start feeling better.

It would be great if all ‘Smiles’ and ‘Light’ principles were to be practiced, regardless of your age, sex, race, health, finances, relationships and especially your personality. And, yes, to be     effective, you must practice ‘Smiles’ & ‘Light’ in ‘goofy’ ways     which are compatible with your unique personality, home and work environment, your leisure and total lifestyle.

And, when you’re going through a ‘dark time,’ a ‘dark tunnel,’ a ‘bad patch,’ a ‘black hole,’ try doing some of the practical Smiles and Light which you’re able to ‘muster up’ until you’re able to have genuine, positive feelings, again.  Practicing Smiles and Light can help you forget or get through, at least for a few moments, whatever pain or problem you’re currently experiencing.

The Practice .  .  .  Just do it!
