HOW TO LAUGH YOUR AGE OFF AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT!
Rochelle and
I are on a mission to laugh our age off
because……
When it gets
right down to it, what is most important to you?
Your health?
Your family? Security? Fun? Pleasure? Making a difference? Joy? Service? Living
a long vital life? Your children? Your grand children and their health and well
being?
The older we
get the more the long healthy vital life takes precedent over everything else
(except your children’s children, of course)
Don’t you want
to be that positive force in the lives of your family, friends and neighbors as
all of you grow older?
These are the
real issues behind “Laugh Your Age Off,”
because every time we can laugh at what bugs us about ourselves, about our
limitations, about aging, about pain and loss, we instantly become a more
joyful presence and when we’re more full of joy, we become a more effective
source of life and inspiration for others…..not to mention ourselves.
So, don’t
think our plan for a YouTube video series, “Laugh Your Age Off,” is a trivial
thing. We’re talking some serious
laughter here—well, some serious subjects, anyway that deserve the laughter
treatment.
Here’s a
list of some the issues that we all face and that can cause us to….well…….take
ourselves, and the problem, way too seriously.
·
Anything that
makes us worry, fret, or angst over--like financial or health worries.
·
Limitations and
frustrations like the increasing frequency to forget where we put things.
·
Dealing with
other aging folks, especially when they make the shift in our awareness from
being people we care about to being……well…..assholes. Very important time to
inject some humor in the relationship.
·
How about
loneliness? There is not a reason why
any human being on earth should ever feel lonely. One thing we don’t have any
lack of is people. And we are committed
to helping you laugh at all the reasons for loneliness away, post haste. Once
revealed they’re pretty laughable.
·
Then there’s
death, fear of death and grief. Not much laughter in dying or grief, you might
say. Agreed. But what can comfort us when we do grieve are loving hearts filled
with compassion and understanding, and all the laughing at ourselves prepares
us to be those heartfelt and supportive people.
For instance,
think of the many people who are right now sitting in hospital rooms anxiously
awaiting to hear about the recovery of their loved ones. (Rochelle and I were
two of those people a couple of days ago, and are still eagerly waiting to hear
about our dear friend, Karen’s recovery.) A large dollop of being able to laugh
at ourselves goes a long way to relieve our stress, don’t you think?
Indeed, when
we are concerned about others we naturally reach for the medicine of laughter
to massage our souls. So think of “Laugh
Your Age Off,” as your good humor medicine chest that will be available to you
on YouTube any time you need it. Plus, by being a contributor, you’ll get our
weekly newsletter where you’ll learn the art and craft of making light of
painful stuff.
Rochelle and
I have learned the tricks of being able to turn troublesome issues, like aging
(which is really living) into joy and laughter (we’ve had to—the alternative
was way too much pain) and we just want to share those tricks with you.
Each
“episode” of “Laugh Your Age Off,” we
will use different tricks to mitigate the negative and unnecessary aspects of
aging (living). So, not only will you be laughing your age off (and yes, even
laugh your ass off) you will come away from each video with some tricks up your
sleeve so that when you meet someone who’s taking life all too seriously, you
will be able to trick them into a much needed giggle or guffaw.
Believe me,
everyone in your sphere of influence will be grateful to you, and you will be
grateful to you, cause when you’re laughing, my friend, particularly at the
things that are hard to laugh at—especially about yourself, you will feel a 100
times lighter.
And, besides
a fabulous orgasm, there’s no better way to get into the present, where all the
love of life is, than through a hearty laugh.
So join
us…for Laugh Your age off. You’ll feel healthier, lighter, move loving, and of
course…..younger.
