It’s sure stress-buster for when cookies burn, when you’ve got your hands full and phone rings and it’s another telemarketer from great Commonwealth of India, when you get flu day of best Christmas party of year, when a major appliance breaks down in month of December, or when you’ve been notified special gift you ordered isn’t going to make it in time.

Keep your sense of humor! Lighten up and let your light shine. We all needs smiles and hugs this time of year … and lots of laughter.

To help you ‘get’ this, editor of “EQ and You” eZine suggests a sprinkling of music. "Listen to that girl laughing during 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas,' by Ras Family ( http:/ inyurl.com/y6sp )," says Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach™. "Internalize it, and apply it liberally. Spread some Joy to World!"

THE ROLLER COASTER

Remember your first roller coaster ride, when no one warned you? That first dip sucked marrow from your bones and you wondered what was supposed to be fun about it. Approaching next dip, your more-experienced buddy (if you were lucky) yelled, “Laugh! Laugh!” and you did, and it was all manageable.

Letting air in, letting air out.

IN-SPIRATION

The word “inspiration” comes from Greek for “breathing in.” When we breathe in, we bring in oxygen that feeds cells and allows us to think clearly.

Breathing air in, in-spires us and we function better. Letting it out gets rid of toxins, and movement also prevents “the bends” from those roller-coaster moments we have.

We are spirits in corporeal world. “we” live in bodies that are composed of elements and need basics of air and water.
