Hello
How a Patient Helped Cure Me
By Cliff Kuhn, M.D.

"It all starts with a SMILE"
I remember her well. It was 1990. We'll call her Judy. Little
did I know how much we would teach each other the first time she
walked into my office.
She had scheduled the appointment because I was the famous Laugh
Doctor. Or the INfamous Laugh Doctor, if you've ever heard my
stand-up comedy! She wanted to learn to laugh; to have more fun.
Judy told me she wanted to have more fun and laughter in her
life because she wanted to feel less stress. She wanted more
energy. She wanted to be more creative. She wanted to have
deeper relationships with friends and family. She wanted to
feel more alive in body, mind, and spirit.
Judy had heard me on a radio interview and was convinced that I
could teach her how to surround herself with more humor and,
thus, feel the way she wanted.
At first I agreed with her and then it hit me like a bolt of
lightening! We both had it backwards! That is not the way it
really works.
Humor and lightness is an inside job, not dependent on outside
circumstances. If you wait for fun people, fun things, and fun
events to provide you with the feelings Judy wanted, you're
going to be waiting and waiting and waiting.... Because there's
always going to be a hair in your food, more laundry to do, a
bill in the mailbox, and a person who doesn't return your call.
I immediately advised Judy to quite looking for funny things
outside of her and, instead, work on cultivating her own,
internal feelings of serenity, energy, creativity, love, and
vitality. I assured her that if she focused on those things,
and started taking herself less seriously, the humor and joy
would take care of itself.
Because the humor and joy would merely be reflecting what was
already inside Judy.
And, from the work we did together (combined with many other
special patients), my Fun Factor Prescription was born. Learn
to cultivate those feelings for yourself today; you'll be amazed
at the bounty you'll soon find around you!
