Time to Put on Your Party Pants
Chances are, you know a lot of people. Some of them you work with, some are family or friends, and many of them are simply acquaintances. Of all of the people you know, how many would you consider “uptight”?
I don’t know about you, but I know quite a few uptight people that seem to have lost their sense of humor somewhere along the way. In a day and age where we have more to do than time to do it, lots of stress, and competing priorities, having a sense of humor isn’t a nicety, it’s a necessity.

Did you know that people with a sense of humor live longer, get sick less, earn more, and are actually better looking? Research has proven that laughter boosts the immune system, relaxes the body, and even protects the heart!
It’s time to put on your party pants! Lighten up, laugh, and have some fun. Whether your find your laughter through being around friends, going to comedy clubs, watching funny movies, or just being goofy, don’t underestimate the power of a belly laugh and a sense of humor.

Anne breaks down the daily habits and skills needed to grow and cultivate RESILIENCE.
We can take back control of our energy, but FIRST, we have to be aware that we are running on fumes. Here are five subtle signs to look for before you burn out:
1️⃣ You Feel Snappy, Judgy, or Overly Critical (Even Over Dumb Stuff)
2️⃣ You’re Drowning in Decision Fatigue
3️⃣ You Feel Guilty for Resting (So You Never Fully Do)
4️⃣ You’re Scrolling to Numb, Not Connect
5️⃣ You Keep Thinking: ‘Once I get through this week…’
If even one of these sounded familiar, that’s your sign. You don’t need to wait for burnout to make a change. This is your permission slip to pause, reset, and breathe. 🎥
Speaking for one of my favorite clients @assaabloygroup to celebrate their best customers in Napa – savoring so many delicious moments! 🙏
Have you ever had to schmooze at a networking event? You find yourself in some awkward situation, fumbling around for the right words when you land on “How are you?” or “What do you do?” Two of the most boring, uninspiring, uninteresting questions in the world.
Fortunately, there is a conversation starter that works better, is way more interesting, and makes you more memorable. This question is so powerful that it activates the pleasure center of the brain.
Here’s the question: “Working on anything exciting lately?”
That simple conversation starter makes people light up and feel good. And the best part? When they leave the conversation, they connect you with that good feeling.

What will you look for this week? #mindfulmonday
Overthinking is just self-doubt pretending to be productive. Give yourself permission to take a nap.

It is great to know that having a sense of humor makes me “good looking.” The video is great, thanks for sharing. The ending was fantastic.
Not that you need help being better looking 🙂 Have a great week!
I love how freely he danced around! Without a care of what other people thought about him. And that he knew to bow is hilarious! Thank you for sharing that video. Saturday night I was up late with my 2 teenage daughters and I was overly tired and got all giggly with them. I love it when that happens.
Me too!
Put on your party pants!!! Want to see you wearing yours the next time you speak to our group! (I’ll wear mine if you’ll wear yours!)
You got it!
