"Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice,
pull down your pants and slide on the ice"
Sidney Freedman
(M*A*S*H* TV show)
Sometimes we just need to let loose with an "I don't care" attitude. Seriously, LIFE provides more than enough constant stress; as many who serve in our military today are well aware. It can rob us of our health, joy of life and peace of mind. I remember seeing this TV program as a child. This comment from the psychiatrist, Sidney Freedman, always stuck with me maybe because it was from a psychiatrist's point of reference, giving advice to those who are seeking; which I consider serious business. The main reason that it has so impacted my perspective on life was its light-hearted and even comical perspective at how EASY it can be to release tension and stress: LAUGHTER! Have you ever responded "Thanks, I really needed a good laugh" after someone "let loose" with a funny joke or story that "gave you the giggles"?.
Giving ourselves a "break from the stress" of living can be a good releaser of tension and conflict building perspectives; that is, as long as we are not trying to run away from what really needs to be addressed.
Go ahead...have a GOOD LAUGH today...it is good for your body as well as your mind!
You are WORTH IT!!!
