info_outlineLaughter really is the best medicine. And if you’re raising kids, you’ll want to be able to find the humor every day just to survive. Awaken your inner comedian.
Who would have thought that as a parent, being a comedian would come in handy?
Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT
There is so much stress in life. And as a parent, that stress is compounded by five times per child.
Think of all the stages of life you have already been through with your children. Some you might have enjoyed, and others you barely could pick yourself up off the floor.
But if we as parents are going to raise up the next generation to impact the world that they touch with morals, values, and confidence, it all starts with us.
You and I, as parents, must rise up in order to raise up kids.
- You can't run and hide from tough conversations.
- You can't let the kids rule the house.
- You can't let things slide when a lesson needs to be learned.
- You can't assume someone else will handle it.
You are the parent. You get to rock the world with how you train up your children.
So one way to thrive and not just survive as a parent is by awakening your inner comedian.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Awaken your inner comedian!
You being able to laugh through the good, the bad, and the ugly helps to keep your heart beating strong. In life, there are always unknowns; situations that you wish never occurred and circumstances that you wish did.
But control is not the tool of parenting. Yes, rules and boundaries need to be instilled in every family. But so does laughter.
So you gotta awaken your inner comedian.
- DISCOVER the funny side of the situation. No one likes to be confronted with challenges and chaos. But you and I both know that's life. Instead of getting yourself entangled with the emotions of the situation, rely on the facts by discovering the funny side of the situation. Now that doesn't mean you will share this funny side. However, it gives you breath as you try to understand what is happening.
- BREAK the ice with laughter. Life brings about tough situations, and just not the "birds and the bees" conversation. When you are stuck and don't know how to approach a subject, break the ice with laughter. Even a serious situation benefits from laughing. It breaks the tension and opens the mind for what's to come.
- LAUGH for your well-being. Some might say this is selfish. But you have to understand that you being grounded on the solution to the problem and what went wrong gives you clarity and a clearer picture of the truth. Laughing helps to neutralize the stress. And you can always use some stress reduction in life.
So why not laugh more?
CHALLENGE: Look for an opportunity to be a comedian. You don't need a mom joke or dad joke. You need your heart to connect with what's happening and see the funny side of the circumstance.
CAUTION: Not all situations or circumstances can involve humor. There will be, if there hasn't been already, times where seriousness is the only way. So be brave and bold in those moments.
But remember, what your children see you engage in facilitates the aftermath, good or bad conversations, etc.
It's time to get your giggles on. Life is too short to be stuffy all the time.
Go laugh a little louder to teach a lesson calmer.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
