Mark Your Calendar for this Once-in-a-Lifetime Event

Hello

Mark Your Calendar for this FREE
Once-in-a-Lifetime Event

By Cliff Kuhn, M.D.
The Laugh Doctor
"it all starts with a SMILE"

Mark your calendar now and clear your
schedule; you have a front row seat to a FREE
spectacle which hasn't happened in at least
5,000 years and won't happen again for
another 60,000! I'll tell you all about it
in a moment...

You set down your Michael Crichton novel,
turn out your bedside lamp, and lay your
head on your pillow...but you can't fall
asleep. Why not? You're haunted by
the "ghosts" of all the things you need to
do, but have been putting off.

Procrastination, what a killer! We've all
been there.

You've been meaning to write a thank you
note to Aunt Beverly for the box of
delicious Montgomery Inn ribs she sent you a
week ago
. That list of schools you need to
add to next year's college fair database has
been sitting on your desk at work for a few
weeks
. Heck, you've been seeing that your
bathtub needs to be cleaned for a month now!

Procrastination weighs you down and kills
your humor nature so quickly
that I've created a
Fun Commandment aimed specifically at
ridding yourself of it: Eat Your Brussel
Sprouts First. That's right; when you have
an unpleasant task I want you to get in the
habit of doing it first and getting it out
of your way
.

Putting things off is something reserved
only for unpleasant duties. You don't put
off a wonderful, anticipated activity for
long do you? A warm, relaxing shower at the
end of a long day, for example. You put off
the things you perceive as not fun, not
enjoyable, or not rewarding enough
.

Eating your brussel sprouts first, however,
is the antidote to procrastination. You
know how great it feels to finally be free
of that thing you've "been meaning to do." Imagine
feeling that exuberant freedom
anytime you choose - just practice this Fun
Commandment
!

Case in point: I love public speaking but
every time I perform there is a small
gnawing fear deep inside me that I won't be
successful
. At my first few engagements,
years ago, I just dealt with that fear and
went on stage - to mixed results. What I
learned to do, however, is to eat my brussel
sprouts first - I confront my fear by
meeting people in the crowd as soon as I
arrive at the speaking engagement.

Perhaps I've spoken with you under these
circumstances. You just thought I was a
nice guy; you didn't know I was eating my
brussel sprouts
. But your warm handshake,
bright smile, and kind words of greeting
were just what I needed to know that I was
welcome at your event!

And then, I trust, I was free to give you an
outstanding presentation on humor, health,
and success
.

By the way, on August 1st, Mars will get
progressively bigger and brighter as it
rises in the east around 10 PM. Then on August
27th, Mars will be closer to the Earth than
it has ever been in recorded history and,
certainly, closer than any relative you'll
meet will ever see. Mars will be only 35
million miles away and will be the second
brightest object in the night sky (after our
own moon). Cool, huh?

So don't put anything off that might
interfere with your Mars watching! Banish
procrastination
-I want you to experience
freedom today to use and enjoy your humor
nature
the way I have. Please write me a
note and let me know how eating your brussel
sprouts first impacts your life this week.
