New Funny Slips and falls compilation

The truth is it takes discipline not to go down those negative rabbit holes and a commitment to being playful helps a lot! We need to be willing to play rather than get bogged down by life‘s heaviness.

Humor is a way to strengthen your relationship. In challenging moments, humor can help you find a silver lining and transform painful situations. What if you could find ways to laugh and play together and write a tough narrative in a positive light?

Bring Humor

One Rare mother described how she brings humor in as she cheers her Rare child on saying, “Bend your knees Barbie!“ The reality is that these differently-abled kids are round holes in square pegs and it’s inevitable that they will fail. How can you shift the feeling of failure into one of growth?

Humor makes you feel more buoyant and if you bring humor into your own head, it can override the voice of the inner critic.

Include Everything

It has been said that there’s room for sorrow in a house of joy and there is room for joy in a house of sorrow. Consider how you can bring more joy into your life?

How can you include “the bothness of joy and sorrow? Change your self-talk, get regular exercise, sleep, meditate and laugh a lot. They say that “laughter is better than kale” and kale is good stuff.

Laughter makes us vulnerable and creates space for you to accept the things that are hard to accept. It breaks up the crustiness and sometimes it makes room for you to cry. Have you ever noticed how you can laugh and cry at the same time?

I invite you to set the intention to bring more humor into your life. Decrease the seriousness and increase the silliness. Laughter increases your capacity to live fully.

Coming up this week: Unconditional Acceptance

Mutual acceptance creates safety in relationships. As a Rare Mother, you have had a lot of practice accepting the things that you cannot change or are not as you would like them to be. What if you were to offer that same flavor of acceptance to the people in your life? What would change? Come and share your experience with other Rare mothers in our community of amazing, wise women.
