to Feel Great Every Day

I'm about to show you how you can feel great starting right now.
Sound too good to be true? Hang in
youve got a pleasant
surprise coming. Let's start with what makes us feel good. Well
its not pain, right? So that leaves the logical opposite -
pleasure.
"Hey,"
I can hear you protest. Where's the big pleasure button in
the sky that I can push to make me feel good? Life is not the so-called
bowl of cherries."
Thats
a fair question. Lets explore it together. Remember the last
time you had a really B-I-G laugh about something? Maybe it was
a funny movie, hearing a really hilarious joke, or some unexpected
life event just tickled your funny bone.
Im
not talking about a chuckle at some lame joke. Im talking
about downright, pee-your-pants laughter. The kind where you slap
your thighs, double-over, and tears squirt out your eyes because
you are laughting so hard.
Now
thats laughter. And do you recall how good you felt afterwards?
Know why we feel good after laughing really hard? Because intense
laughter actually gives all of our internal organs an awesome massage.
In fact, a really good gut-twisting laugh is the equivalent of 15
minutes of intense aerobics. How about that?
But
you dont have to pay $50 to get into a comedy club to get
a good laugh (although it may be worth it at times.) Id like
to share a less expensive approach with you, because I think all
of us can use a good laugh.
Get
a Good Belly Laugh
OK. Our goal is to get you into a good 5-minute belly laugh. Many
of us have had laughter conditioned right out of us. But it's OK
if you have to jumpstart your laughter with a fake laugh. Yep, its
silly alright. But that alone is worth a laugh.
Isnt
the promise of feeling great worth feeling a little silly? Besides,
the aerobic exercise means you can skip the exercise bike today!
Right? So go ahead and start with a fake laugh if necessary. No
chuckles - laugh as big as you can!
Heres
where some amazing things come into action. You know how natural
it is to laugh when someone else is laughing? That's due to a natural
brain response. Well your brain is going to respond to your own
fake laughter by producing the laughter neurochemicals
that tell you to laugh even more.
Hang
in with your fake laughter. Very soon youll find you've gone
from fake to genuine laughter. And this is really worth a good laugh!
Laughter-Based
Problem Solving
Now heres where the REAL fun comes in. In the middle of your
uproarious laughter, think about a problem or something that is
bothering you. Then go ahead and laugh about it. Remind yourself
that you have survived up to this moment, and this too shall pass.
It will, you know!
Know
what you've just done? You've just conditioned your subconscious
mind into linking deep pleasure and confidence with your ability
to solve your problem. You're going to have the pleasure of feeling
your attitude toward that so-called problem shift
helping
a positive solution fall into place.
Done
laughing? Pull in a couple of deep breaths and appreciate the extra
flow of oxygen into your brain. You are about to have a fabulous
day - with stress running off of you like water off a ducks
back. Quack, quack!
There
you have it! A proven-effective BRAIN-SMART SECRET of how feel great
every day for the rest of your life. Do it, and youll get
hooked. Guaranteed!
By
the way, are you aware of the huge health benefits of laughter?
Remember Norman Cousins book Anatomy Of An Illness in
which he described how he laughed himself free of a so-called terminal
illness just by watching funny movies and laughing hard?
Interestingly,
we now know that laughter stimulates the flow of lymph in your body,
and pumps huge supplies of health-giving oxygen deep down into your
lungs.
