Motivational Monday: Laugh It Up
Have you had a good belly laugh yet today?
It's good for your stress levels, your health, and your business. Amazingly, even a fake laugh has health benefits. 😉
Here's a Weird Niche combined with a Motivational Monday for ya. A Dr. has formed “Laughing Clubs” to help improve the world – one giggle at a time.
Take 5 minutes to laugh — it'll improve your day.
Don't forget that the other big thing you can do to improve your mood, your health, and your overall productivity is exercise. Take a walk. Go skating. Have a quickie with your significant other. Turn on your favorite 80's tune and dance. Grab a hoola hoop or a jump rope. It doesn't matter what you do — just get a move on.
On that note, I'm off to do my 10 Minute Home Office Workout Quickie for the day. Care to join me? If so, check it out here: 10 Minute Home Office Workout Quickie
Have a beautiful day.
Warmly,

November 2, 2009 at 5:25 pmGreat suggestions, Nicole! We all need more laughter in our lives – fortunately just about every word uttered by politicians worldwide makes us laugh these days! 😉

Thanks for commenting!

November 2, 2009 at 7:05 pmThanks for the reminder, Nicole. I do need to laugh more often.
Umm… Should I laugh “with you” or “at you” when you snort on your podcasts? 😀
Cheers,
Peggy

Milk? Nose? Oh goodness gracious – have you been spying on me? 😉

November 5, 2009 at 7:30 pmHi Nicole, I don’t officially have a website yet but considering one in the future, I wanted to know how I can go about starting an online business, helping parents find the perfect daycare center. I want my site to be set up were a parent can visit my website and enter there zip code or where ever it is that they live and then they are matched to different daycares in their area. I also want to feature information on different topics such as health, stress, etc and I’n not quite sure would it be best to build a website or not.
