Children laugh several hundred times a day more than adults do. As adults, caught up in the realities of life, we lose our sense of playfulness. Our bodies become stiff and unyielding as we tense up with stress and worry, or sit at computers all day. Our tension creates friction in our relationships, and soon we have conflict and confrontation to deal with which, in turn adds to our stress levels. Learning to laugh together can dramatically reduce stress and conflict in the workplace and at home.

Laughing is good for you on all levels - physically, emotionally and psychologically and the really great thing about it is that the body does not know whether you are faking laughter or genuinely laughing. The benefits are the same, however you do it.

Why is laughing so good for you?

It makes you feel great as it releases endorphins into your body
It reduces your stress levels, lowering the cortisol levels in your system, which is a stress related chemical
It enables you to feel more able to cope with life's challenges
It helps to release & increase your creativity
It creates a strong connection to others you laugh with - feeling 'connected' is a basic human requirement
It helps teams to bond and form creative solutions together
It boosts your general mood - as it changes your physiology
It boosts your immune system so helps restore & maintain better health

Creating positive change - Open workshop
Based on my own experiences of law of attraction, this workshop explores how your thoughts create your everyday experiences. I didn't 'get it right' for a long time. In fact, I spent many years getting it wrong, constantly pulling the things towards me that I did not want, and feeling hopelessly disempowered by my experiences. But, one day I had an epiphany and everything changed!

Inspiring and motivating, this day will provide you with the understanding that will significantly expand your awareness of how - and what - you are creating on a day to day basis. You will learn how powerfully you repel the things that you want and acquire a set of tools to teach you how recognise when you are repelling the positive law of attraction and be able to take immediate steps to change that in order to manifest positively.

The open workshop will be experiential and fun, as you work with other like minded people that are struggling to change their lives in the way that they want.

You will leave with a fabulous set of workable tools, in order to be able see a positive improvement in the quality of your experiences.
