Eight Reasons Why We Can’t Lighten
Up 1. We’re too busy. Let’s face it---will we ever be not busy? Maybe at our funeral… 2. We’re afraid of what they may say. I don’t know who they are, but they sure stop the laughter for a lot of people. (Actually, some of “them” are living in my house.) 3. The committee is meeting. Many of us are filled with inner critics who want us to be terminally serious adults. 4. We need to be right. It’s hard to laugh if we’re always proving a point. 5. We have a tendency to judge and criticize. (This comes up a lot, doesn’t it?) 6. We’ve got too many rules and regulations. When we behave like drill sergeants and life is a forced march, it becomes difficult to chuckle. 7. We need to suffer before, during, and after anything stressful.
8. We’ve got too much ego. When we’re over inflated, we can’t laugh because we’re afraid we’ll lose our sense of importance.
