hey this is Marie from DIY Montreal and today I'm going to show you how to make
a round cutting board and turn it into a Lazy Susan for this project I used three
types of hardwood cherry walnut and maple
since I'm working with raw lumber I started by cutting off the end before
cutting a few pieces to rough length slightly longer than the final
dimensions that I need I then ran the pieces on the jointer several times
until the bottom face was flat I could then flip that face up against the fence
to joint the edge after that I ran the boards a few times through my planer
until the top face was nice and flat too note that the boards don't all need to
be the same thickness at this point next I set my table saw to rip the boards
just wider than I want the final thickness of my cutting board to be
since the blanks will be flipped 90 degrees before glue up this way they'll
all be the same thickness I also wanted a few thinner strips of walnut so I
ripped down some of my blanks into thinner strips after deciding on a
pattern it's time for glue up since this board will be about 18 inches wide and
my planner is only 12 inches wide I'm going to do this glue up in two parts
that I'll assemble afterwards since this lazy susan is intended for food like
cheeses and charcuterie i made sure to use a food-safe glue like Titebond 2 or Titebond 3 that are both food safe and water resistant
after letting both parts dry overnight I could then run them through my planer a
few times on each side of the board one after the other so that both the top and
the bottom sides were flattened and both boards planed down to equal thickness
I can now assemble both parts but I noticed that the joint wasn't perfectly
straight so I did a quick pass on the jointer to flatten the inside edges I
can now assemble both parts by simply using some glue it's important to get
this joint flush so take your time here it helps to use small clamps along the
joint to help get both surfaces perfectly lined up I almost forgot but
you'll also need a second smaller board for the bottom part of the lazy susan
for this I simply planed two boards on face and glued them up
to cut out the circles I'm going to use my router with a homemade circle cutting
jig to make the jig I first need to remove the bottom plate from my router I
flipped the plate over onto a piece of thin plywood and marked out the four screw
holes and roughly Marked the center hole that I then drilled out using a large
Forstner bit then using a smaller Forstner bit i countersunk the four
screw holes using the depth stop on my drill press I could then drill all the
way through those holes using a bit slightly larger than the size of my
router screws after screwing the plywood onto the router and installing an up
spiral bit I traced out a centerline onto the board you can then make a pilot
hole for the desired size of the circles radius
I made my hole at 8 inches since I wanted a 16 inch wide circle next I
found the center of my board and made a very small pilot hole to use the jig I
simply put a small nail through both holes and tapped it in with a hammer I
first took a shallow pass going clockwise and progressively lowered my
bid after each full revolution you'll also want to vacuum up the sawdust
regularly to make it easier on your router ideally you should use a plunge
router for this but since I don't have one I manually plunge the bit each time
I lowered the bit and it worked out just fine eventually I made it all the way
through and was left with a nice round circle and this was probably the most
satisfying part of the project for me
I repeated the exact same process for the bottom circle simply adjusting the
size of the radius to make it smaller
okay so now I have both parts of my lazy susan that I'm going to assemble with
this turntable hardware but before I do that I have a little more prep work to
do like rounding over all the edges and of course a little sanding I started at
80 grit and progressively made my way all the way up to 220 grit now since the
board will be washed I'm going to water pop the board and let it dry in order to
raise the grain before sanding it once again with 220 grit there are different
ways to mount the hardware and I'll show you the one that I used my biggest
concern was to get the hardware perfectly centered I started by
measuring the distance between the holes and setting my compass to exactly half
that length then drew a circle using the center hole left behind by the circle
jig next I drew a line through the circle it doesn't matter where you draw
it as long as it passes through the center point I adjusted my compass to
make the opening wider then drew two arcs using the intersects as pivot
points I then drew another line through the circle using the spot where the arcs
intersect and the center point as guidelines both lines should now intersect
at 90 degrees and should line up with the holes in the hardware I used a
small bit to make pilot holes all the way through so the holes would be
transferred to the opposite side it was at this point that I realized my mistake
I should be using the tiny little holes for the bottom plate but luckily this
was an easy fix I measured the distance between those holes and adjusted my
compass to make the new markings after drilling the new pilot holes I flipped
the board over and countersunk the holes using a small Forstner bit and the
depth stop on my drill press the hole should be big enough for the screws that
come with the hardware kit I then repeated the whole process to mark the
holes for the top board and drilled some shallow pilot holes this time making
sure not to drill all the way through
before attaching the hardware I gave it one final sanding that vacuumed and
wiped off all of the sawdust I finished the board with some food
grade mineral oil applying a generous coat and letting it sit for 20 minutes I
repeated this process four times and then finished up by wiping off all the
excess oil I could now line up the hardware with the pre-drilled holes
starting with the top and screwing it down and then position the bottom piece
and screwed it down from above hey I hope you liked this video and if you did

You can be confident of God's perfect will! - Duration: 4:49.
What is the biggest thing that is holding you back from being the best church member
you can be?
There are many different excuses or many different things that we can look and blame and say
"If I did this a little better, I might be a better church member.
What our churches need today are people that are in the perfect will of God.
Hi friends, I'm Pastor Josh and today I have another quote to share with you that God has
used in my life.
Thanks for stopping by so that together we can continue on our journey to develop the
mind of Christ.
Today's quote was shared by Evangelist David Corn.
I had the privilege of hearing Evangelist Corn preach this last week as we brought teens
from our church to Snow Camp at Camp CoBeAc.
It was a great opportunity to get away in the middle of the winter, just to have fun
and yet to focus on the Word of God.
We had the privilege of hearing Evangelist Corn preach five different times.
He challenged us with a number of things, but in his final message, he challenged us
about doing and living the perfect will of God.
See in life, we make all sorts of excuses in what's going to hold us back or this is
my area.
But God wants us to live in His perfect will.
How are you and I going to know that?
It's not just for the big decisions of life, but also for the little decisions of life.
Romans chapter 12 verses 1&2, the Apostle Paul challenges us about knowing and doing
the perfect will of God.
I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to his world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God.
As the Apostle Paul was writing to the church at Rome, he was challenging them about their
own lives.
Really, to be church members we must take care of our own lives first.
He says to offer their own lives as a living sacrifice.
The Old Testament Jews knew exactly what that was.
A sacrifice was something they would do with animals.
Sometimes they would give money as a sacrifice, but often it was an animal and when they sacrificed
an animal, they killed it.
Well here the Apostle Paul challenges the church at Rome to be a living sacrifice.
Don't kill yourself; but rather die to your own desires, your wants, to what your flesh
craves, and live to God.
He says to be a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.
Holy is without sin, to be blameless.
Not doing whatever I can justify in my flesh.
It's okay or I'm better than a different person down the road.
But what's right before God.
He then tells them not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing
of the mind.
Being conformed is like pouring water into a cup.
It conforms itself to the cup.
But being transformed is being changed from the inside out.
God wants to change us by changing our thinking.
Not just by starving the flesh or stopping the flesh, but by changing the very way we
think so it works out through our body.
That then we're a living sacrifice, holy unto Him.
Are you in God's Word?
Are you listening to Him speak to you through the Bible?
God wants to use His Word to transform us into His image so that then you and I can
do the perfect will of God.
This isn't just for the big areas of life.
Where do I go to college?
What occupation do I choose?
Which house?
Who do I marry?
Do I make a change here?
Do I make a job change there?
But even in the every day decisions, how am I going to act with my spouse or my children?
How am I going to act with my siblings?
How am I going to treat those that I work with?
How will I respond in this situation?
God wants you and I to do His perfect will.
So let's allow Him to transform us through our mind by His Word, so that you and I can
do the perfect will of God.
Because then we can be what the church needs most!
People that are in the perfect will of God.
Will you do that today?
Will you do that this week?
Let's yield to God.
I hope these thoughts will help you to evaluate your life so that you can live in the perfect
will of God!
If this has challenged you, would you share this with a friend so that together we can
grow on our journey developing the mind of Christ?
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

every stressed out professional needs to know
when starting a laughter meditation practice.
And possibly, some misconceptions about laughter.
So, Christina is a hands-on expert on the benefits of laughter.
When she learned about laughter wellness,
and it gave her the freedom to express joy, playfulness and presence.
Her passion for laughter inspired her to create LOL4health
to continue spreading the benefits of laughter, one giggle at a time.

So, welcome to Cristina. Thank you for joining us.
for joining us.
Thank you. Heather, it's a pleasure to be here today.
Yea, for sure, thank you.
I often approach things from my nerdy science-y background,
so the neurology and physiology of different practices,
so I'm really excited to talk with you today
about the practical and real-world implementation.
Let's get started, so you can share your latest ideas
about how to help stressed-out professionals
and helping them start to get the benefits
of regular laughter.
My first set of questions is about your background and
experience in the field, so our audience and get to know
who you are where you're coming from
and how you can relate to where they are right now,
then we'll discuss about the reasons people might be interested
in trying out laughter meditation.
Then we'll jump into your latest ideas and thoughts about
an effective laughter practice so that our audience
can understand how they can apply
what you learned to their situation
in today's world.
And then finally, we'll jump into the cool stuff
with some, maybe, tips and tricks,
and possibly try out a laughter exercise.
so our audience can get the real inside scoop!
Could you tell us a little bit about yourself in terms of
background, education, and experience in this field?
Yes, absolutely. So as you have already mentioned,
I'm an accredited counselor with the BACP,
which is a professional body in the UK,
British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy
and I have been a counselor for decades.
I was a manager for mental health services in the UK,
and I used Laughter Wellness, Laughter Meditation as one of the modalities
to deal with the depression and anxiety.
And I found that it works really well
with people with depression and anxiety
because depression, as you may know, is living in the past.
so, we ruminate about the past.
And anxiety is living in the future, the fear of the future.
and what may happen in the future.
So laughter is a great way to be present and grounded in the moment.
So it's a mindfulness practice, so to say.
Yeah, that's really
super powerful...
When did you get started, tell me again when you started
incorporating the laughter modality?
Yes, so around about 2008.
in London, in the UK.
I started and then I
Went on into my journey to further the practice, and experience,
and to spread it also.
And when I came over here in the US.
I couldn't practice is a counselor as such, while here.
So I had to pull out all my other skills.
You know, I'm also a mindfulness teacher,
trained teacher, and I'm
A Laughter Wellness practitioner
and so I thought "Which one do I want to do?"
and then I thought, "You know, I fancy doing more of the Laughter Wellness,
Laughter Yoga some people call it also, Laughter Yoga.
And, so
I just threw myself in it, and I found that it's really transformative.
And I myself was puzzled,
and then pleasantly surprised of the benefits,
not only my life because, you know,
moving to a new country and
not knowing where you're going,
and there's a lot of private stuff that's happened that I'm not going to go into details with,
but it has really help me
and helped others that I've met on my path,
to transform their lives.
Wow, that's a really great story! Moving...
moving home, moving country even,
and the culture differences, and navigating that...
that's one of the biggest stressors that
people experience in their life.
And so you found that laughter
really helped your resilience guide you through that process.
So that's an incredible story, you know,
clearly you're the right expert for us when it comes to getting the...
implementing the benefits of laughter.
Yeah, sure.
So, can you tell us, can you expound on some of those benefits?
Yeah, sure!
Laughter Yoga, or Laughter Meditation,
I like to call it Laughter Meditation,
because I go more towards
Laughter Mediation practice,
because I've been practicing meditation for decades.
and so I use laughter as part of the
being in the moment, and being in the zone of meditation, in the gap.
In fact, they say that laughter produces the same
brain waves as meditation.
You produced the gamma waves,
just as if you were to go in deep meditation,
but with the difference is that with laughter meditation
you skip the monkey mind.
Often when people meditate,
Unless you've practiced meditation for a long time,
Then it's easy or it becomes easier.
It's always a journey, of course,
because the mind... we cannot cancel out the mind,
the mind is always there, you know.
So, with laughter you go right into the zone of "No Mind",
because you can't laugh and think at the same time.
So that way you just bypass that monkey mind.
What I found is that,
with laughter meditation, there is this thing I call it The Drop.
So, you have to fake it till you make it, so we fake it first.
So that we fool ourselves. In a way you fool the brain to believe
that this is real laughter,
but the brain doesn't understand the difference.
So you would fake it at first, and then naturally you will
experience the drop, that's what I call the drop,
where from fake, you go to real laughter.
Oh, that is so interesting! I have practiced smiling meditation
in the past and it's a very similar thing...
On my nerdy science background again...
there is a lot of nerves that run primarily from the body to the brain.
So if you put your muscles in the same position
as natural laughter or a natural smile, your brain is like
"oh, well those signals are coming in, that must be right."
So it kind of entrains your brain into that.
And I really love that laughter bypasses the thinky brain
that distracts people during conventional quiet meditation,
and it makes it a lot more accessible.
So please go on. I'm just like, things are clicking together for me!
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot easier. So although it may feel a little awkward,
you know, it's the beginning of practicing because
we're not used to laughing for no reason,
we're used to laughing for a reason.
I'm just going to give you a little bit of background.
Where does this Laughter Yoga come from? Where did it all start?
It started in 1995 in India, by a doctor called Dr. Madan Kataria,
and he started to laugh in the parks, because he knew the benefits of laughter.
So after a while, he found that people have different senses of humor, you know,
not everybody would laugh at my jokes. I'm Italian and I may have a
different type of humor than you, Heather, you know.
And some people find jokes offensive.
If I start to tell a joke about blondes,
or age or, you know, gender, people get offended, so
he figured, I got to find another way to make people laugh.
and he found that... "ok, I'm going to use our laughter as a physical exercise."
Just like when we go to the gym,
our biceps, you know, and
Same way we use our laughter muscle
to train our emotional muscle
so that we become more lighthearted, less rigid, more fluid.
and that's what he found; that by doing those type of laughter exercises,
you gain a lot of benefits for mind, body, and soul.
And it feels awkward at the beginning, because the mind goes "Why you doing this? There's nothing to laugh about!"
And it's like, "Whaaat? Shush! Wipe that smile off your face!"
I love how you characterize it as an exercise though,
because that kind of gives you,
"oh, I am laughing for a reason. This is an exercise. I'm practicing."
so I mean that is... so connected.
Yes, you got it. You got the essence of it, absolutely yes.
And so when I explain that, people find it a little bit easier,
you know, to say "Okay. I'm going to the laughter gym now,
exercising my laughter muscle,"
rather than going full in and being surprised by...
because it can feel awkward at the beginning.
I've had people say, "Oh, it feels awkward,"
but the more you practice the easier it becomes.
Like with everything else, and then it becomes the way of life.
Laughter becomes your Mantra.
So instead of going "Ohhmmm," you go "Hahahahaha"
Awesome, that is fantastic.
So I made a few notes of some of, again, the physiological benefits of laughter
and it seems very related to the breathing and the diaphragmatic movement
that is creating, you know, the rhythm of the laughter
so some of that is similar to physical exercise, you know,
your heart rate is increased, your respiratory rate is increased,
your O2 consumption is increased,
and there's been some studies that show that a reduction and inflammation occurs,
from you know the deeper breathing,
and the extended exhales, lend themselves to the anti-anxiety and anti-rumination.
So I was super interested about, in that...
Do you find that in practice, in the real world setting?
About the benefits?
Yeah, about that if there's an increased heart rate, and that the rhythm of the laughter,
and the deeper breathing with your diaphragm.
I mean, I read that in studies. How do you find that in the real world practice?
Yes, I do find that. Like, I do, when I lead the classroom.
I often tell my participants to put their hands on their heart.
to feel their heart rate, and they really find that the heart is pumping a lot harder. Like, we're sweating.
So I usually,
you know, invite them to become aware of their heart rate at the beginning of the classes,
and then while we do those exercises and also the breathing is, like you say, from the diaphragm,
so we breathe and lot more effectively.
In fact, when we do those laughter breathing exercises,
over time, you'll find that your respiratory system
will work a lot more efficiently.
so yeah, I... I myself noticed that my...
I can hold my inhale and exhale a lot longer
and my cardiovascular... I'm fitter!
in a sense, by just laughing.
Yes! That is great to know that the...
that it plays out in a real-world setting that people can get these real benefits.
So here is a question. How long...
So when you're starting out like it's an exercise,
should you start out with a little bit at the beginning, to get used to it,
and then have longer periods of laughter later.
Like as you get more experienced? Or how does that work?
Yeah, you know, it doesn't really matter.
I feel my experience that what is most common,
is that to overcome the awkwardness, and the weirdness of,
"Why am I laughing?? There is nothing to laugh about."
Because the brain (the ego),
the brain always wants to find the reason why we're doing something, constantly analyzing.
You say, you know, "Should I be doing this or not?" It's trying to figure out.
So laughter is counterintuitive, because it brings us in the moment,
in alignment with the moment, and so the moment has no meaning.
The moment has no way to analyze anything. The moment is just what it is.
There is no thinking in the moment
if we are truly in the moment in that sense.
And so laughter helps you
to be more mindful, and to really to start enjoy just laughing.
You know, have you ever, I'm sure you have watched on YouTube,
There's a lot of baby laughter.
Oh yes!
On YouTube, right?
Yes, I have!
baby laughing? Tons and tons of baby laughing.
And they don't need a reason to laugh... they don't need, you know,
to watch a funny movie or hear a joke, they just laugh.
So, it's to be able to go to that place of child-like
you know, of just joyfulness and playfulness,
without the thinking brain.
Does that make sense?
Oh, I love that. So when someone starts a laughter practice,
how long, like in a day or in a couple weeks of practicing,
should they start to notice those benefits?
Of the relaxation and anxiety starts to fade.
Yes, well...
you notice that right away.
Yes, after a laughter session, your whole body is relaxed, and calm
After even just one session they can start to notice.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
That's very encouraging.
It is very encouraging.
I often ask my participants
Tell me how you feel. At the end of the session I say,
in one word describe
this experience. And the words that keep coming up are: Calm.
At peace. Relaxed.
Energized
In the moment. Joyful.
Present. Liberated.
Relieved.
Released.
I have a, I forgot now, but every time they tell me the word,
I write it down so that I can keep track of them.
So I have hundreds of words
that people have shared with me about how they feel afterward.
Wow. That is great.
Those are just some of them, but they keep coming out, you know,
the calm. to be at peace, refreshed. Reenergized, released, liberated.
Oh great. So how frequently should someone...
well, how long should someone laugh at a time, do you suggest?
I say a minimum of like
5 minutes in a good
belly laughter, it's very individual.
but of course
You know you can laugh...
you cannot laugh like 20 minutes on... in one go, you know,
it's unrealistic...
Right.
but it's easier when we are in a group. So the session
that I do in a group,
can last up to 20 minutes of ongoing laughter,
and that is very cathartic.
And so it's easier in a group, because as you probably know,
laughter is very infectious.
Yes.
One starts to laugh, the other starts to laugh,
you know, the whole room is laughing and it's easy to go on for 20 minutes.
And so, when when we're alone
we can still laugh, but it's not...
certainly not 20 minutes. But as long as you get that
bursts of laughter throughout the day.
And so this is why I encourage joining...
There's a lot of laughter calls that you can join,
or laughter clubs all over the US.
You know, that's helpful. At least then you start to create that community.
You go to the laughter club and then,
you can meet other people and you bond,
and it's a great way of bonding and connecting
and creating a community because, think about it...
think about a time where you, when you laughed
a real belly laugh, one of those Buddha laughter with somebody.
What was the feeling that you had, Heather,
when you were laughing with that person, at that level?
Ohhh... Connected. Like we both were on the same mental wavelength.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So when we do that, when we have the
joyful, true laughter with somebody
to the level that we cry, tears of joy...
There cannot be anger, there cannot be judgement,
there cannot be blame. None of that.
So we learn to be more loving, we learn to be more kind.
Are there any major misconceptions that you encounter
when sharing about laughter?
Yes. Lots.
Tell me about that.
Yeah.
Alright, so I'll give you a quick example. So we were in Sedona,
doing a laughter meditation in the beautiful Sedona vortices.
People were looking, you know, "What's going on?"
We were laughing, and people were looking at us.
This is really... I don't know what they were thinking about.
They were looking at us like this is weird.
So I said, "Come on over, come on over,"
and they were like, "Nooo..."
So what I'm trying to say is that, If they...
if we are probably crying and being miserable
and in trouble or whatever,
people would have been perhaps more likely
to join and say "Oh my God. Why are you crying?
What's happening here? How can I help?"
So what I found is that
it's easier for people to go down misery lane than
to take responsibility of their own happiness and joyful heart.
and
And society is a little bit
designed like that...
the drama, the misery.
You got to be serious in life.
You can't be playful.
Playful is not for us... It's not for adults! You know?
So we have learned to be very rigid.
and in a square, in a box. We live in boxes, you know.
And so... our playfulness, our creativity,
our inspirational side... all of that is diminished
with the lack of laughter.
And so I see people that
have misconceptions and say, you know, "Well, how can this work?"
You know, "This is stupid, this is silly," because they are very rigid people.
So you've got a break through those
blockages of people, so to say.
I can tell from somebody where... if they have a blockage I can
tell by the way the laugh, or not laugh.
and
So if they have a blockage
and they cannot laugh,
then that's great material to explore. Well, what happened there?
How come there's no inspiration to laugh?
How come there's no joyfulness.
How come there's no creativity.
How come your laughter is blocked? What happened?
You know?
Because laughter is a natural thing, like crying
So if there's a blockage what happened? What happened.
Where's the rigidity? Where have you lost your fluidity, in life?
And that stress that everyone experiences...
an overwhelm in our everyday life...
creates that rigidity, and like you were saying
it's not only our culture but it's our biology that
we have that sympathetic response, that Fight or Flight response
that's meant to keep us alive,
and that is kind of been permanently put on... like, ON.
And we don't have the back and forth to the Rest and Recovery
and connection... social connection with people, that is the
parasympathetic response. And I have found, like when you were
talking about laughter being contagious and infectious to other people,
and again back to my neurology and science interest,
The vagus nerve...
There's an older part of it which kind of shuts you down
when you're too stressed.
And there's another part that is "Tend and Befriend,"
and when we see someone else laughing,
our mirror neurons in our brain make us also smile.
When you see someone smiling...
Or, this is a great experiment, if you smile at someone
more likely than not they're just going to
intrinsically just automatically smile back at you.
And it also it gets up into the eyes, and making
eye contact with other people creates that social bond.
So I really see how group laughter can be extremely effective
in stimulating that parasympathetic recovery response.
So when you're exercising like yes, we need stress sometimes
but we also need to go the other direction
and that's what creates the resilience,
and that fluidity that you're talking about.
So this is just such an exciting conversation.
I'm glad you're sharing with us.
I am loving it. I'm loving it. Let me just show you a few things here.
Because they're doing a lot of...
I love the fact that you're you know, your nerdy like that
you call yourself. I love that. I'm not that nerdy.
I'm more like let's get down to it, let's laugh.
Yeah! The practical application is where, you know, the rubber hits the road, that's where
the action happens.
Right, action!
So they're doing a lot of research on Laughter...
I love that, you know, they're really getting deep into it.
And here's another one, the Science of Happiness.
Yes, I've seen these!
You've seen these?
Yes I have, I'm so interested that this is like new...
new interests that are coming into the public awareness,
for benefit of everyone,
to deal with our complete overwhelm in our society.
Yes, there's a lot of stress, and so whatever we can offer to humanity
to ease that stress.
It's all good.
And I'm so yeah, I'm there for that.
to just spread my modality.
Yes, it seems like there's a lot of developments that are
coming into the field and things are about to get shaken up,
I think, and have a major impact with helping people deal with stress.
Yes.
Yeah. Can you maybe give us
an example exercise that we can try out right now maybe?
to show our listeners like what
a laughter Yoga exercise might be like?
Sure, let's do it like a little laughter breathing exercise.
So this is very simple and it will energize you straight away
so you can,
sit down in a relaxed manner,
just as if you were to meditate basically,
shoulders relaxed and just sit upright,
and then you can either close your eyes,
if you want to, you don't have to... if you want to close your eyes, you can.
And then it's very simple, you're going to just Breathe in...
Hold it there to 4.
Then let it all out through laughter.
[laughter]
That was a full breath! You can hold a laugh longer than I can.
Is that from practice?
Yeah!
I want to try one more time!
Okay, let's do it again. Breathe in...
3... 4...
Let it go.
[laughter]
So that's one.
That's lovely. So these kinds of... and you have a variety of
different kinds of exercises that you use with your clients or
people that you're practicing with?
Yes, we do have.
Ok, so nice! So people can get...
join these clubs or work with you and find out about
the different types of exercises
and then either practice on their own,
maybe 5 minutes at a time... every day?
Every day, yes!
Every day... and start to see this benefits of
letting worry and anxiety kind of fade and
and roll off you as you gain that resilience.
Absolutely, and at the moment I'm actually offering a few
"Discover Your Joy" one-on-one sessions,
where people can have a one-on-one session with me
and during those sessions
we connect, I connect with my clients on a daily basis, and
We just laugh on the phone for a couple of minutes
as well as doing other things too, you know, more exploratory work,
but one of the things that I do with my clients
is to laugh on the phone every day.
So they don't have to be in your local area.
People can access your services over the internet, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That is so great.
It's similar with my coaching practice.
I love that we're able to reach the exact people that
need the benefits of our services, over the Internet!
So, yay technology!
We live in those times, right?
Yeah. So do you have any final thought that would sum up everything we've discussed today
or any last bits of advice to all our listeners?
Sure, well.
I feel that
it's important to try it out.
If you don't try it out,
people don't really get the juice and the essence of it.
So I would encourage you,
to either reach out to me,
or to join any laughter clubs available nearby,
because there's a lot of them.
and so that you can go back into your joyfulness
that you were given at birth, and that we have
often forgotten about.
But it's a very effective method to
to just live a life that is more meaningful
and connected and loving.
So, yes, thank you so much.
Thank you Cristina for sharing your expertise
and experiences is so graciously.
I'm sure all the stressed out professionals in our audience
learned a lot about getting started with laughter meditation
and how they can apply to their own situations,
now that you've laid it out pretty clearly.
And thank you everyone in our audience, for joining us

3 Biggest Public Speaking Mistakes to Avoid - Duration: 5:59.
I'm not a big believer in following rules in public speaking
You know, we've all heard them do this say that walk this way. Don't go that way
I I just don't think that it critical instead. I want to share with you the three
biggest mistakes that will kill your presentation every time you're on stage on video and
If you get those three mistakes under control, and of course, I've made them just like everybody else did
If you get those three mistakes under control, you will be a much better public speaker
I'm Victoria Lewinsky and I help introverted entrepreneurs overcome the fear of public speaking
And transformed into confident compelling and captivating speakers
mistake number one
Focusing on their own. Thanks. Have you ever entertained this thought about your audience?
What does he think of me?
What if they think I'm a fraud? What if they think I don't know my stuff what if they don't like me?
This thoughts seemed fairly harmless right after all they just in your head. But while you spend in your mental energy
focusing on all of those questions
You are not
Focused on your audience and by being focused on your audience. I don't mean you spend your time thinking from scared
You are off your audience
focusing on your audience means
That the only thing that is in your head all these things that you're thinking about is how you are
making them feel because only when you take the focus off of you and
Your confidence issues and your minds and blocks and everything else that you have in your head?
Only when you take focus off of you and shift it to your audience
Only then
You are becoming a great speaker
I have a whole video on this mindset shift and if you are watching this on youtube
You can just grab it from the link above or I will also put the link in the description
Mistake number two not being your authentic
It is still attempting to mimic somebody you admire, right?
But audience can spot a fake right away
Remember the time you win the audience couldn't even somebody was too rehearsed
To sleep too. Perfect
Don't sacrifice being yourself for perfection perfection is bland and boring
The audience wants to see the real you
they do and
being
Genuine will always outperform
Being perfect
Mistake number three not preparing rehearsing before your presentation as an introvert
preparing and thinking things through
Really come natural to me
if anything I like to prepare a little too much at the expense of
pushing the ideas into the world sooner
now a lot of people
like to weigh in and
Truthfully procuration is boring right at some point you go like. Oh, I'll just I'm done. I'll just go into it
But I really really really want to encourage you to at least do a few key things
You definitely want to have you outline prepared and done. You want to know all the key points. You're going to cover
Particularly, if you're going without the crutch of slides if you are doing a telltale talk you need to have all of those key
points memorized and in your mind
another thing that's very very important and I definitely encourage you to do it is to
specifically
focus on the first few minutes of your presentation
maybe even memorize it because you know when you just walk on stage is the most nervous and that's when
mistakes happen
you want to memorize your opinion so that you can just glide through it and be done with it and
Then you can continue
going with the talking points in your hand, but
focus on
your opening focus on the first few minutes of your presentation and also you want to prepare is a
Closing of your presentation because this is the last thing your audience remembers and everybody has their own favorite
Methods for preparing some people like to sit at their desk
And prepare that way some people like to go and walk and think through their presentation in their head. I
Spend a lot of time in the car drive. And so I love thinking through my presentation in the car. I
Literally visualize everything I don't just visualize how I'm delivering my lines and what I'm saying
I'm also visualizing reaction from the audience and that
really really really helps so don't skip
preparation find a way that works for you bead on the walk in the car in the shower or
Just even while maybe you're watching TV you are
Spending some time
Going through representation in your head there. You have it. Let me go over the three mistakes one more time mistake number one
focusing on the wrong things
Mistake number two not being your authentic self
mistake number three not preparing rehearsing before your presentation and
Now, it's your turn. Let me know in the comments which of these mistakes ran particularly true to you
I cannot wait to hear from you and I will see you soon. In the meantime
make sure to grab my free training on overcoming fear of public speaking and you can get it at

I'll see you soon. Take care

Why You Should Have Regular Medical Check-ups - Duration: 9:53.
Why You Should Have Regular Medical Check-ups
On a daily basis, men and women fall into critical health conditions that are difficult
to manage, which could lead to a lifetime debilitation and worse still, death.
Unfortunately, those health challenges could have been averted if only the men and women
affected availed themselves the opportunity to regularly visit the hospital for health
examinations.
Regular check-ups do not hold that a doctor should be visited every day of the week; it
could be a quarterly visit, a twice-in-a-year visit or done once every year.
As life become busier and ageing more real than imagined, the importance of health exams
increasingly become incontestable.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, going for regular health exams
and tests is beneficial indiscovering problems before they start.
Health problems can be detected early when one's chances for treatment and cure are better.
More so, being checked medically by a health professional very often, provides one with
a good chance of living longer and in health.
That goes a long way to suggest that people who are healthy and full of strength are very
much qualified to be checked in a health facility.
The following are the common benefits of getting one's health status checked regularly:
Check-ups makes it easy for any health challenge that is life-threatening, to be detected,
and treated on time.
Regular check-ups are more cost-effective, in that any anomaly in health can be corrected
early enough with little amounts of money, which would have not been so if the health
condition deteriorated over time.
Risks of going through high-paying surgical procedures are reduced minimally when one
frequents the hospital for health checks.
A doctor can offer pieces of advice to a patient who is concerned about certain health states,
or who is at risk of suffering from an illness, on the best ways to stay healthy for the future.
For cancer, detecting it early during a regular health check is crucial to its speedy treatment.
Regular health check ups can encompass the following:
Blood pressure check BMI (body mass index) test
Cholesterol level check Colorectal Cancer Screening
Oral Health for Adults Immunization Schedules
Skin Cancer Prostate Cancer Screening
Viral Hepatitis HIV/AIDS
Cervical smear (Pap smear) test Vision test.
Everyone is expected to regularly visit an eye doctor or an optometrist who is a specialist
in eye care.
Babies, with or without any observable eye defectare eligible for routine visits for
eye tests.
It is recommended that people aged 50 to 65 have their eyes examined at least once ever
two years.
On the other hand, men and women over 65 years of age should be vision-tested at least once
yearly.
During the visit to the eye specialist's, eye glasses or contact lens can be prescribed
for one, if need be.
Reports on the state of the eyes are documented, and in the elderly, glaucoma and cataract
are checked for.
Blood glucose level test Dental care especially for patients who are
at a risk of suffering from periodontal diseases.
Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases screening tests.
Top of Form Bottom of Form
Again, how important is a regular health check-up?
Firstly, Check-ups is as important as the air we breathe.
The only difference is that it is a conscious effort toward wellness whereas breathing is
as involuntary as sneezing.
Persons whose lifestyles such as drinking, smoking, long work hours, etc. put them at
a risk of severe health conditions should make health checks a common happening in their
lives.
Furthermore, individuals who have a family history of health problems involving cancer,
heart diseases, and other life-endangering conditions are required to outleap others
who are in no such risks, in scheduling for regular health visits.
In fact, every wellness-conscious human being should never look down on the value of getting
checked comprehensively.
Sexually active men and women must be able to get screened.
Also, regular health checks are vital in creating solid relationships between a doctor and the
patient.
A considerable level of trust is attained where a patient is able to pour out his concerns
to his caregiver who calmly listens, guides in decision-making and makes it a point of
duty to keep the pieces of information confidential.
The third reason regular health screening is important is in managing costs that could
be incurred following a problematic body breakdown by disease.
The money is saved for other gainful ventures.
In the place of paying heavily to combat Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases, a regular health test
forestalls such expenditure by detecting the microorganisms that could result to PID in
the female reproductive system, and treating with the right medicine for them.
If taken religiously, the microbes would be successfully destroyed without causing any
surgery-requiring damages to the patient.
Diseases are kept at bay in the life of a person who is getting regular medical check-ups.
Screening and tests aid in the detection of diseases at their earliest stages, for speedy
treatment.
Factors to consider in testing an individual include his age, sex and sexual orientation;
his lifestyle choices and family history.
Until they are reduced to health detectors through routine blood level checks, cholesterol
level checks, liver function test checks, diabetic checks, thyroid checks, HIV/AIDS
status, etc., some persons do not give up on regular health exams.
Fourthly, the ever-engaging lifestyle habits of people put them at a tangible spot to be
hit by poor health conditions.
Malnutrition, obesity, little sleep time, anxiety, and alcoholism play a huge role in
the onset of debilitating illnesses in a person.
When left unattended to for a very long time, the impact of the neglect could be felt by
the brain, heart, kidneys, the gastrointestinal tract, and liver, a situation capable of being
avoided in the face of routine health checks.
Coupled with counselling, a person who is very much likely to break down from depression
due to pressure from his workplace or family, can survive to tell the story: through frequent
health checks.
It is powerful, and gives a sense of worth, to beequipped with the knowledge of one's
health status, which influences one's lifestyle changes.That is where the fifth reason why
regular health check-up is important.
It is not enough to be told to eat healthy; ascertaining your body's general wellness
gives the right push toward maintaining it or making amends by eating healthy.
Likewise the informed decisions one makes concerning a treatment plan.
Without building a rapport with your doctor, it is somewhat difficult to yield to the directives
from him on drug intake and its techniques.
In a weakened health condition, it becomes increasingly insurmountable to have the patient's
consent beyond what is crucial to do at a given moment.
It would have not been if there were medical examinations that were regularly done on the
patient.
The more it is examined, the more interesting and compelling the need for regular health
check-ups to be done on individual of all ages, colour and social status.
The economic burden of non communicable diseases, and also that from sexually transmitted diseases
are significantly reduced with the help of screening tests carried out more specifically
on at-risk persons, with respect to their lifestyles, sexual orientation, age, and family
history.
People are losing their jobs to deaths and incapacitation, due to having little or no
time for medical examinations when they were healthy.
Eventually, the job they claimed to afford them no time was taken away from them compulsorily,
as a result of sudden health breakdowns that lead to congestive heart failure, cancer,
kidney failure, paralysis, and even death.
Prevention is better than cure; saving costs while keeping life bubbling, has never been
more lucrative as regular health check-ups offer.
In summary, make regular Check-ups a significant part of your life.
It only takes an appointment with the doctor, a holistic assessment of health not limited
by screening results of years ago, and the freedom to air concerns about your health
to your health provider.
Life, really, has no duplicate.
