A change in the body can cause a change in the soul.

Aristotle definitely has a way with words. He said that over 2,000 years ago. It's as true now as it was then.

Anyone that has had a serious injury with continuing pain knows how it can take the stuffing right out of you over time.

The cool thing is that the opposite is true as well. If you are improving your physical condition on a daily basis then your mental attitude and outlook on life improve as well.

So, why not build up your physical reserves nad look forward to daily pleasures.

Take it from me, I've been on both sides of this coin. The better your physical and mental state then the better your life!

Go for it.

New Day, New You!

Every day is a new day. That means that every day you get the opportunity to be a new you. Just think about this for a minute. With the dawning of every new day you get to decide what your day, and you get to be like. Wow, and it doesn't cost a dime!

So what are you doing with your day and your life?

Dane, The Laughing Tiger.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life!

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."

Earl Nightingale
1921-1989

Dane's Take On: There are no hopeless situations

Too Many Hits and Not Enough Hugs...There is ALWAYS Hope

Been there, Done that...

When the downward spiral begins everything seems to be against us.

Yet this is only a false truth, not a real truth.

I say false truth because at the time you feel your world is going down the toilet it is a reality for you.

So what then is a real truth?

A real truth is the knowledge that the downward spiral is only temporary if you chose to see it that way!

Example:

Think of some one you love. Now for the next 30 seconds think about all the little things that person does that irritates the crap out of you.

5 seconds
10
15
20
25
30

Time's up.

Isn't is amazing how just 30 measly seconds of negative attitude can cause you to really wonder why you love someone?

Now let's turn it around. And You Will.

Take 2 minutes and think of all the reasons, things, and feelings you love about that person. What was it like when you first knew you loved them...

15 seconds
30
45
60
75
90
105
120

Time's up.

How was that?

How do you feel?

Totally different now. How could you ever have had any question about the love you have for them?

When I asked you to think about the irritating things that took you down a path that felt real.

But, as you discovered 2 minutes later it was not as real as the love you have for that person.

You went down the path of a false truth. Sure twisted your knickers didn't it.

So are we really sure our current situation is hopeless?

More on why this happens tomorrow.

KISS

Dane and Carrie

Today we are going to use one of the most effective KISS principle(Keep it Simple Sweetheart)techniques known to the world!

It's really simple...
Are you ready?
Are you sure?

OK.

Here we go...

Inhale...Nice and slow

Exhale...Nice and slow

Again...

Inhale...Nice and slow

Exhale...Nice and slow

Again...

Inhale...Nice and slow

Exhale...Nice and slow

That was easy wasn't it!

That's all it takes to start unwinding and begin letting go of your stress.

Let's add a little something to this to make it even more enjoyable!

When you inhale nice and slow, imagine something beautiful.

I enjoy breathing in sunlight.

Carrie enjoys breathing in smiles.

When you exhale do the same thing, imagine something beautiful.

Do this throughout the day.

It also does wonders for folks that wake up at night and think they can't get back to sleep. (You Can)

Remember, A KISS a day keeps you happy!

It's Christmas 2007!

Christmas Carp

Christmas represents many things to many people.
The adult in me sees it as a time to rejoice in that divine spark that makes us all fellow Human Beings.

The kid in me enjoys the giving and receiving of gifts.

Laughing Tiger is an amalgam of both viewpoints.

Everyone that comes in the door is seeking something.
Whether it is a new beginning or the completion of a loose end.

So everyday is Christmas to me.

When one of my fellow Human Beings comes to see me, no matter the issue, all I see in them is that divine spark that makes us one as a people. I see you as a gift that is to be unwrapped with joy and happiness! The best part is showing you how to unwrap your own gifts.

I truly do enjoy the Holidays for what they are every year.

Even more importantly, I enjoy my fellow Human Beings for what they are every day!

Wake up every morning as if it is a new beginning to unwrap.
Fill your gift with sunshine and joy!

YOU create the day you want every time you wake up!

So, I say to you: "Make everyday a gift to yourself. See it and feel it through eyes of wonder. Soon those wonders will become real!"

Enjoy YOUR day,

Dane, The Laughing Tiger
