Healthy Living is Worth Laughing About!
Yesterday, I was tickling my son. His laughter rang through my ears, and actually caused me to start laughing too! He loves being tickled, and loves laughing! It’s amazing how fabulous laughing makes you feel! When I was starting to feel well after my long bout with post-partum depression, I sat down and watched, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and I started to laugh! Until the laughter started, I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I last laughed! And at the same moment, I realized how good I felt! And I stared laughing throughout the movie. And it seemed that after I laughed that night, I was finding things in my life to be happy about again!
It’s amazing how easily and readily children start laughing. Its a part of who they are. So…we were all children once upon a time, thus laughter is in our blood-literally! Children are spontaneous & often do things in life that, we as adults, wouldn’t think twice about! Put your chocolate birthday cake all over yourself and smile about it!
Are you smiling yet?! Maybe even feeling a bit like a laugh could come along?
I know when we are stuck in a rut, or feeling depressed, its really challenging to just read along and change your state; so do something intentional to change your state:
- Turn on a movie that’s always made you laugh,
- Go on YouTube and search for something funny
- If you have your own little one, laughing along with them while you tickle them.
- Go out with friends, who always seem to laugh about something
- Play with your dog or pet
Whatever it is that you discover to make you laugh, know that by laughing, you are making yourself healthier!
- Laughter relaxes your whole body
- it boosts your immune system
- it releases endorphins–your body’s natural feel good chemicals
- it protects your heart–protects your blood vessels and increases the flow of blood

So do something really wonderful for yourself and Laugh-Out-Loud! LOL!

Filled with Gratitude: Healthy Healing
When you say thank you, and allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, it changes your state of mind, and your worldly out-look is suddenly filled with a positive perspective. –Bella Bleue
- Your body feels this positive change as well. Even the cells in your body become energized to work towards healing, and health in a more rapid focused manner.
- You see the world as a more welcoming place, filled with acceptance and motivation.
- You become healthier each time you allow yourself to feel this gratitude. . You look and see a healthier person in the mirror.
- Your gratitude and energy surges into the relationships you have, and they too change for the better—they are healthier, more full-filling, more energized, more satisfying, more complete.
- Your moments of living become gems instead of obstacles.
- Your Life becomes a GIFT.
Take the time to feel gratitude, and see the powerful change that happens within you!

A Formula for Health
So one of the formulas for living Healthy:
Live in the Moment: In the Here and Now and
1.) Let wisdom guide you:
- choosing those things in your life that are right, just and true because these choices will lead you to have deeper more meaningful relationships with others;
- and you will have less worry about the future because you know you are living life the best way you able to.from moment to moment
2.) Lead your life with your heart and mind:
- living life the best way you can comes from deep within you. When you choose to be intentional about allowing wisdom to guide you, you are connecting to the deep truths about who you are as a human being.
- Thus, you are not denying who you are, and therefore you become healthy in your daily life.
If we are not able to be healthy within ourselves then no diet, doctor, medicine etc. will be able to really help us.
And thus, the challenge is to really deeply love yourself,
and by doing so, nothing else at any given moment, will have the power to take You away from Who you are.
Look at yourself in the mirror today and know that you are BELOVED.

I am Living!
Our children teach us that Life is worth stopping for, and worth taking notice of. -Bella Bleue
Look up into the sky; see the trees, and smile.
One of the most wonderful gifts in my life is my little boy. He has provided my life with such an amazing joy, and sense of awe. He reminds me to look at the world with wonder and appreciation. He has taught me to embrace a moment for what it is: a moment, and by doing so to find delight in being alive because I am Living.
Look under a bench and discover the earth.
I am Living! This very moment I am alive! I am grateful for this moment no matter what it brings, because I have been given this gift of Life. –Bella Bleue

Nature’s Message: Inspiration and Hope are All Around Us
When we take the time to see nature around us, we can learn deep truths about life. I live in the Northeast. The changes in the weather from one day to the next is a complete mystery this year….You never know what the day may bring. This can be true in our life too…we may wake up and expect the day to be one way, and it brings something completely different or unexpected. But when this happens, we have the choice to embrace the opportunity to be inspired by the experience or we can choose to completely miss it. This morning, I looked out my doorstep and saw this image in nature speaking to me.
This image is ironic in some ways. It’s the image of snow embracing a plant that has died for the season, against the backdrop of new life ‘springing forth.’ Walking out my door I could have just seen the snow, and the decaying plant, but instead, the green…the image of inspiration, and HOPE, caught my eye, and thus, changed the way I woke up to my day.
I felt
HOPE: New beginnings are just around the corner, for each of us, if we just open our eyes and take the time to look for them.
INSPIRATION: if nature can break through the winter and live, then we can break through those things that hold us back and LIVE our lives!
My invitation to you:
1.Take some time today to pause and look at life around you.
2. Note what you see.
3. Let yourself feel the inspiration within you.
4. Put the inspiration into your day and see where it leads you.
5. Write down what inspired you and where it lead you.
Blessings on your day,
Bella Bleue
