Santa Shares Some Jolly Good Tips
Welcome to our 29th big success show today Santa's here with some jolly good tips the big success show with George and Mary Lynn Why am I here on your 29th so I should be here on the 25th show. Oh Good point, but we had to get you in early. I understand figured you were probably pretty booked for the 24th show Very true very true. Yes, Anna. We're so glad to have you, you know It's almost mind boggling that you're here given what what your schedule must be like this time of year It does get pretty busy and hectic. I have to admit You know you always hear about the the winter blues and then people getting so stressed out over the holidays But you managed to always stay jolly. I do stay jolly. You're exactly right. You've got the biggest job of all At this time of year and I guess we wanted to talk to you about that. How do you stay so happy and chipper? well, it it's a mind set that you have to have and if if you're a happy then you become jolly happiness comes from the inside and jolliness is what everyone sees on the outside as a result of your happiness So you're jolly on the outside because you're happy on the inside. Oh, that's exactly right Isn't there ever a day where you're cranky you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and then how do you turn that around? Well, I wouldn't say I'm cranky Mrs. C may disagree, but I wouldn't say I'm cranky. There are days. How are you before your coffee? I am perhaps less jolly than other times of the day. Good to know that Santa has to have some coffee Coffee and cookies for you this year starbucks on the North Pole They're coming I think they're coming everywhere the elves demanded it Seriously, you do have to have cranky days there are days that are not quite as jolly as other days You're not going to get me to admit to being cranky Well, okay, maybe you're not cranky, but you're just not as jolly as normal. How do you get yourself up to full jollyness? Oh, right? There we go I just try to focus on things that are going to make me laugh and when you're living with a bunch of elves That's usually not too difficult Okay If you find something that makes you laugh just laugh a little bit and that leads to bigger and bigger laughs Until finally you have a big belly laugh and you're jolly again Well, it's interesting that Santa says that because you know Santa there's studies out there, and I'm sure you know about this But belly laughs actually improve your health. Oh, I know I know I know You see you just made us laugh. That's right. You see how infectious it is. Can you teach us how to do that? I think he just did. Oh That's true. So, how do we get that in? Oh, well, it starts with a big deep breath. Okay, most people just breathe shallow They're not happy. Okay See it works it works it works Okay, try try the okay big deep breath in And let it out. I let it out a little premature I'm not going to comment George Okay, no another big deep breath in and laugh as it comes out right up. I didn't say go yet I can't hold it that long. Okay in and out Okay, now you're going to laugh this time as you exhale I feel like I'm going in the labor. I feel like I'm working with elves again Directions people I did an exhale All right See and aren't you feeling jolly now? I bet I can do it better the second time now that I'm this happy. All right, let's do it Terrible leave it to me to flunk. No, no, you don't flunk if you're a if you're smiling and be if you're laughing. Okay Okay, now, you know my secret if you don't feel jolly then act jolly think happy thoughts Smile and it leads to being jolly. That was fun.
