Take a Laugh Vacation for a Happy Life
you are the window through which you must see the world.
How do we keep ourselves clean and bright? While daily hygiene is one answer, I have often found that taking a vacation also does wonders. While there is nothing like a road trip to blow away the dust of trivial thoughts, often, taking a break for a good laugh is sufficient.
One of my favorite short mental vacations is the movies. For about 2 hours I can be carried away into a world completely different from my own. During one movie vacation, I discovered the film, Happy Go Lucky, and the irrepressible Poppy. Poppy is one of those always happy people and the film follows her as she learns to drive and through all life's ups and downs inbetween.
Poppy had a three step process for keeping her psychic windows clean. Poppy always started with a good laugh. Then, she found a way to meet her needs because Poppy knew she had to take care of herself before she could take care of others. Finally, Poppy focused on what she wanted and went after it deliberately and in a way that often brought out the best in other people. It turns out Poppy's method is pretty consistent with prevailing science.
If you need an instant vacation to keep your psychic windows clean, we recommend Laughter is an Instant Vacation with Free DVD. This beautiful book from Simple Truths is full of poems and humorous quotes sure to take you away to your happy place for a few minutes whenever you need it.
