Sorry about the title. I had to start out with that apology, because even I feel guilty about posting something so silly. However, it is Friday and time for my silliness to shine through.
During the past week, I have been so very busy with the launch of my Living the Lucky Life CD and my office visits that I have been remiss on blogging. I admit I have been inconsistent. However, the good news is, I have been very lucky! I listen to my audio each day to be sure I still want it out there and amazing things have fallen into my lap! (Besides the cat, who really just jumps into it. – again, slipping into silly.)
I have had unexpected occurrences everyday. From 4 free tickets to a special event (my friend Claire calls me the Queen of free tickets) to connections with people out of my past, incredible opportunities opening up for me career wise. Right now, however, I am off to a local resort, Innisbrook, for some quiet time poolside to read and renew. (Now that’s lucky!)
Let me leave you with this moment of silliness: (read through and then try this with your eyes closed)
Take a moment to breathe deeply, really feeling the breath entering your lungs, filling them completely and then being released. As you release, allow yourself to relax and let go of any worries of the day. Picture and imagine that you are in a safe comfortable theater. The chairs are plush and you sink deeply into them. Begin to notice how your whole body seems to be slowing down, your heartbeat is gentle, safe and resting…….
In this theater is a huge screen, covered in the thickest of curtains. Slowly, the curtain draws back and appearing on the screen is a bright, colorful cartoon. This cartoon is filled with events that make you giggle, such as pie throwing or silly jokes. The thing you notice about the characters in this cartoon, however, is that you are the one telling jokes or throwing pies. The recipient is a compilation of all the negative events that have occurred during this past week.
I wonder if you can allow yourself to release and let go, so well, that you begin to giggle? I wonder if you can really start to laugh? Imagine if you could fill your body with good, fun, feelings? Allowing laughter to be your medicine, you enjoy a moment of respit, knowing that you can carry your secret weapon (humor) with you into the weekend and every day forward.
As you open your eyes, feel the power of humor and the great release of endorphins rushing through your body.
Happy Friday Friends!
I will use this visualization for frustrations with management at work…Thank you, Debbie! Actually, one of my favorite fantasies is to actually get a big group of friends in a large backyard and have a cream pie-throwing fest! That would be so much fun and so releasing…and you could giggle all the way thru the whipped cream!
It’s been a very long time since last I read about or tried NLP techniques (consciously anyway). I’m glad I found your blog. I’m a subscriber now…
Thank you Cindy.
You would probably enjoy my family Thanksgiving tradition. We have a food fight, outside with cream pies, jello, creamed corn and anything else that is messy. At one point it became so big with the neighbors here that they were asked to bring a dish or two to throw and canned goods to donate to the local food bank!

thank you. I will be contacting you separately as well. I am aware of your battle and would like to help you in any way I can.
Debbie: You’re right, NLP and suggestion are very effective in the dental environment.
