Holy Cow! With a subject title like that I hope this is a fun time in the park!

How many times did you laugh today? Or did we spend so much time worrying about paying bills, or this, or the remote possibility that a hippo could fall out of an airplane and land on our head – or are we going to waste time worrying about that?

I truly believe each of us has the potential to be our own worst enemy. We’re so caught up in making a living that we forget to live. Remember as a kid how each day was like a major event. It could have been just playing in the back yard but we had as much fun doing that as an adult would going to Hawaii on vacation.

Why can’t we just learn to be a kid again. I’m not saying to abandon our responsibilities but to approach each day as a kid would, looking for the excitement in each day. You know I’m convinced the biggest difference between the thoughts of an adult and a kid is that as a kid we never lived or thought of the past. A kid never thinks – gee if I had only played in the Sandbox with Sally more my life would be different today.

The other thing as a kid we would look forward to in the future were events like Christmas or summer vacation. As a kid we would almost never worry about the future. In fact our thoughts of the future were ones of being an astronaut or baseball player or something exciting.

What happened along the way? Where and how did we forget how to be a kid? We need to learn to how to have fun again each day like a kid, or we’re each headed for an early grave.

So what can we do? Well we’re not going to get there over night but we must take our first steps. We need to get up each morning and look ourselves in the mirror and laugh and say out load. “Jim (say your name here) you lucky fellow, you’re going to have a lot of fun today because you’re a fun and exciting guy.”

This next item you will definitely want to read. It's cooler than the proverbial excrement on shinola!

Our subconscious brains are like a computer – it will accept any programming we give it. Good or bad, negative or positive. So we have to be real careful about the words we choose to speak to ourselves. Notice how when we wake and say, “boy another lousy day of work!” how often the day turns out lousy. Or "I'm just not very good at (blank)" At these times un be knownest to ourselves we're programming our brain for failure.

Most of us have undergone a lot of negative programming for years. The news media in my opinion does us all a big injustice always reporting nothing but negative news. You’d think nothing good ever happens.

So to live a happier, healthier life start each say with that “Jim (say your name here) you lucky fellow, you’re going to have a lot of fun today because you’re a fun and exciting guy.”

You know you’re healthier when you’re happier.
