Your Weekly Dose of Mental Sunshine

The mind works best when it is in a state of mental sunshine.

“… no mental growth can take place without mental sunshine. Accordingly, we should resolve to be happy no matter what may transpire. We cannot afford to be otherwise. Sunshine will melt the most massive iceberg if the rays are direct and the clouds are kept away; and it is the same in daily life. No matter how cold, disagreeable and uncongenial your present environment may be, plenty of mental sunshine can change it all.” Christian D Larson

Laugh

When was the last time you had a good laugh? I don’t mean the kind of polite “ha ha yes, that’s very amusing” laugh; I mean full on belly laughing! Laughing is really good for you. It actually makes your brain release endorphins, causing you to feel good. As well as this, it causes you […]
