The Importance of Humour

In this week's episode, I will invite you to consider the importance of staying lighthearted and 'take it easy' whenever 'the going gets hard'. Considering my recent experiences of applying for jobs and a funny (from hindsight) situation, which took place at my workplace, I will reflect on the power that humor can bring us in those difficult moments of high stress. We will discuss the 'fight or flight' reaction, which our bodies often promote, whenever the situation overwhelms our senses and minds, and introduce a simple practice, which could allow you and me to take life with a little more ease and silence the overstressed mind. I will bring up some psychological facts and interesting information from the books I've had a chance to read and offer you a wee bit of encouragement when dealing with your next 'big thing'. Finally, we will take a brief look at the way our brain considers memories and reflect on the idea of 'overriding' the experienced experience with whatever we've found important to remember. It is an episode full of light-hearted advice, so take it easy and tune in. I hope you will find it insightful and inspiring.
