LAUGH AT YOURSELF 101

EMOTIONAL GANGSTA CONGRATULATIONS!

Emotional Intelligence is Gangsta. Where most people avoid finding out why they feel the way they do, you do the work and sit with uncomfortable emotions until you learn what your emotions have to teach you about yourself.

OPTION ONE: "SELF-AWARENESS"

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE

"F*ck it." The Radical Acceptance battle cry. There's humor to the moment that only the person saying it can attest to. Because what are you actually saying 'F*ck it' to? An overbearing parent? A judgmental sibling? A jealous former friend? Who are we saying 'F*ck It' to and why is that so funny sometimes? Who knows. What we DO know is that it takes self-awareness to know when your 'f*ck it" moment comes and that when it comes you WILL know it.

EMOTIONAL GANGSTA TRAINING:

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE IS THE SAME AS 'KEEPING IT RAW.'  WHEN YOU CAN ACCEPT THINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT, YOU ARE 'KEEPING IT RAW.'

OPTION TWO: "EMOTIONAL-INTELLIGENCE"

IMPROVISE
 

Improvisation is a great tool for comedy. It's an excellent exercise in radical acceptance and it requires you fully rely on your instincts. It's a refreshing exercise in trusting yourself. Improvisation is a slick way to add more laughs to your day. Do you normally eat cereal for breakfast? Improv and have dinner for breakfast. Are you used to watching scary movies at night? Watch one before you go to work. Sure you might be spooked but it'll make for great conversation at work and you'll get a deep dive into your psyche which will make for more great improv moments in the future...if you dare! Scaring yourself can be a fun and funny experience so dig in, Cutie!

EMOTIONAL GANGSTA TRAINING:

IMPROVISATION IS THE SAME AS 'KEEPING IT REAL.'   WHEN YOU CAN IMPROV YOUR WAY THROUGH THE TWISTS AND TURNS OF LIFE AND GET A CHUCKLE OUT OF IT ALONG THE WAY, YOU ARE 'KEEPING IT REAL.'

OPTION THREE: "SELF-AWARENESS"

QUALITY
TIME ALONE

Heavy on the 'quality' part. Spend time affirming yourself AND your sense of humor. Watch your favorite comedies. Research new comedians. Listen to crank calls. Dig deep into your humor bag and enhance your mood on-demand no matter what life throws at you.

EMOTIONAL GANGSTA TRAINING:

SPENDING QUALITY TIME ALONE IS THE SAME AS 'KEEPING IT RARE.'  WHEN YOU PRACTICE SELF-CARE THROUGH PURPOSELY CONSUMING MEDIA THAT VALIDATES YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, YOU ARE 'KEEPING IT RARE.'

THE TEST

Can you be REAL with yourself about what is naturally funny to you without the need to shrink or hide it?

RAW

Can you be RAW with yourself and meditate on the root causes behind the times you faked a laugh or a smile?

RARE

Can you be RARE with yourself and practice self-care by consuming comedic media that affirms and validates your authentic sense of humor?
