An Easy Way For You To Make Your Work Fun

You'll discover that the practicalities of making work fun are very similar to making anything else fun.

Chances are at least fifty percent, however, that you are working for someone who trivializes fun. You don't need to bash those bosses who find fun too risky to incorporate, but you do need to understand that you may be on your own regarding enjoying the benefits of humor in the workplace. Having fun is an "inside job," requiring the type of self-discipline we Humor Beings are famous for.

Here's a great "hands-on" strategy for making work fun: Smile more often. This is the most basic strategy for fun at work and it is foolproof. If you make it a priority to smile more often at work this week, you will be amazed at the results. Even if you are smiling often, you can always do it more. This week, commit to smiling every time you become aware that you are not.

Start smiling early in your day! You'll have more resilience and tolerance for the trip to work (those other drivers may still be idiots, but you won't take it so personally).

If you start smiling early enough, by the time you get to work, you will already be having a successful day. It is much easier to perpetuate success, than to "kick-start" it from a standstill when you get to your workstation.

I trust I don't have to recount how smiling benefits you by telling you that it boosts morale, peps up your immune system, releases endorphins, stimulates creativity, enhances communication, inspires hope, etc.? And, remember, even if you fake a smile you still get these benefits!

So don't forget that simple, yet powerful, smile during your work day. Keep your focus on smiling no matter what you're called to do.

One thing at work that drags us down is a feeling of insignificance. Consider this: Gene, from a recent cancer support group, theorized that if everybody on the planet smiled simultaneously, we could heal the world. What if, by some miracle, everybody on the planet was smiling at the same time -- except you? Wouldn't you feel terrible holding us all back like that? Take back control of your smile and you'll have more fun at work!

Why Are You Holding That Glass Of Water All Day?

At a talk I was giving recently, an audience member asked me to explain stress. Looking down, I noticed the glass of water the conference host had thoughtfully placed on the lecturn for me. I raised the glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Various answers rang out.

I acknowledged the responses and said, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.”

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem... If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm…If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "

I continued, "And that's the way it is with our worries and fears."

"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we become affected by them. And that's called stress."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again."

"When we're refreshed, we can carry on. "

"And that is precisely why we were born with the amazing resource of humor. This natural medicine, which exists in abundance in your own personal chemisty, is capable of keeping your perspective off your fears and worries...regardless of your circumstances."

"Use humor to keep putting your glass down; there is no reason for your to hold it longer than a few seconds."

Things That Make Me Scratch My Head

Here are nine things that make me scratch my head and wonder:

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is, where is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?



2. People who are willing to get off their rear to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.



3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?



4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?



5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.



6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya?



7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.



8. When people say "life is short". What the...?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?



9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here?
