The Fun Times - Pay Attention to Your Ham Sandwich

Hello

Pay Attention to Your Ham Sandwich

By Cliff Kuhn, M.D.

"It all starts with a SMILE"

Obviously, since you were born with both the ability to imagine
and the ability to remember, you are supposed to make use of the
future and the past. But, come on. It's easy to see they're not
supposed to make up 96% of your thoughts and focus (as we're told they do).

With your fully functioning humor nature, the past can be used
for what it is intended - to learn, make corrections, or amplify
your efforts. Then you move on.

And with your humor nature, you can also make use of the future
in the manner it is intended - to set goals and make plans to
reach them. Used in this way, the past and the future actually
become great tools for a successful and healthy person.

Pretty handy stuff, huh?

How do you keep your focus on the present moment as much as
possible? How do you get lost on a regular basis? As Paul
Hornung likes to say, "Practice, practice, practice."

If you use humor to practice you'll get the side benefits of
having lots of fun too.

Your goal this week is to immerse yourself completely in what
you are doing. Whether you're driving to the grocery, gardening
in your side yard, or making a ham sandwich with pepper cheese
and mayo, be there in that moment.

I know you're used to worrying about your upcoming toast at your
brother's wedding when you're driving. I know you're more
familiar with replaying the social faux pas where your co-worker
overheard you gossiping about her through the bathroom door last
week while you're gardening. I know you're often busy trying to
guess whether the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates 1/4%
or 1/2% at their next meeting as you make a sandwich.

Let that stuff go; try actually involving yourself in what
you're doing!

You'll find that you're 53% less tormented by fear, worry,
shame, guilt, and regret. And you'll find your productivity and
efficacy in any endeavor increases by 73%. All because you got
focused, what a bargain!

And you'll laugh 78% more often too. Now that's what I call a
slam dunk!
