We all know that laughter is the best medicine but I think we forget to take our daily dose! I know I have been guilty of this from time to time… forgetting to partake in my daily laughter! We all get bogged down sometimes by stress, work, distress, family, running around, you name it but there is a cure for all this; laughter! So today, put on a funny video, a comedy routine, talk to your funny friend, dress the kids up in mismatched clothes, or tease the cat with a laser light. Whatever it takes, make sure to take your daily dose of laughter and Live Inspired Now!

Laughter does all this:
Boosts your immune system, lowers stress, decreases pain, good exercise, relaxes your muscles, eases anxiety, stress reliever, makes you happy, makes others want to be around us, defuses conflict, creates bonds, releases endorphins and just makes you feel really good!

Have you ever left an amusement park and thought to yourself “Gee I really wish I had not been too scared to go on that ride” or left a store and thought “Why didn’t I buy that thing, I really liked it” and then you go back and it’s sold.
That is how our life is…. don’t give yourself the chance to say at the end of it “Why didn’t I love, live, give, smile, call, jump, leap, move, stay, talk, scream, laugh, visit or take the risk?” Don’t create yourself based on what others think or want you to be. Don’t give up on things you want for fear of judgement from others. YOU create your life, you have to live with yourself, you are the ultimate creator or designer of YOU! So today, DECIDE who you are, where you want to be, what you want to do and be YOU and Live Inspired Now!!!

On Friday, I took the kids to paintball target practice! It was so much fun! You get to fire paintball guns but not at each other, rather at targets. There were giant sharks, skeletons, pirates and tigers, and lots of pie plates hanging so when the paintballs hit them it made a loud splat sound! The kids really enjoyed splattering paint all over the targets and I have to say… I am a pretty darn good shot with a paintball gun! I think this might have been my stepping stone to real paintball where you shoot at one another. That sounds like a fun date night for just Thad and I some time! So today, see if there is a paintball target practice in your area, have some fun with the family and Live Inspired Now!

I am in control. I control my own emotions, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Everyone in the world is off the hook, you can’t be blamed for my actions or reactions to anything. This is true detachment… knowing that I am in control of me and nobody else has that power. It can be scary because you hold only you accountable. So many people want to blame their parents, their kids, their upbringing, the job, the mean neighbor, the cruel teacher, the abuser or even the dog but guess what, we are the ONLY one responsible for how we feel. Each and every moment we are blessed with “choice.” We have the opportunity to look beyond our physical circumstances and choose to be happy. When our inside is happy, our outside environment follows. So today, take control, choose happiness and Live Inspired Now!

You all know how much I love art and I am so happy to show you this picture! Yesterday I got an original Michelle Cady painting! Her paintings are so fun and colorful and just make you feel good! I hung this is my dining room where I usually sit to work and write. I love it! It just makes me feel at peace while I sit here. I love to support artists, in fact today, I am off to send out a portrait that Harry did of a famous youtube kid! So today, consider supporting an artist by purchasing some of their work and Live Inspired Now!
