Lol – Laughter Therapy


It supposedly means laugh out loud. Some people think it’s lots of love, but my daughter thinks it’s these little 2-in tall dolls with big eyes.

Whatever L.O.L. means to you, I intend to change your concept of L.O.L. before the end of this blog post.

Have you ever heard of the phrase laughter therapy? Webster’s dictionary defines it as a humor-induced hormonal intervention to reduce stress and anxiety. I bet that’s as clear as mud, right? Let me break it down for you.

Laughter therapy is intentionally making yourself laugh even when you feel like crap—knowing that your body will fill full of happy hormones and push out some of the stress hormones when you do this. It is actively taking time every day to laugh.

I have been setting an alarm on my cell phone that repeats daily. It goes off twice a day to remind me to watch something funny. I’ve been watching a lot of stand-up comedy. Some of it sucks. I’ll be honest, but some people out there just have the gift of laughter. They make me laugh so hard my face hurts. There is some complex science behind this, but I won’t bore you. I will tell you from a real-world perspective this stuff works. Every day I engage in laughter therapy, I am a whole lot better human to be around. My outlook is better. I feel better, and my day seems to go better.

You need to understand that happiness is a choice. It is not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. I believe Ralph Marston said that. We need to understand that laughing swaps the cortisol in our system with dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. So, it makes us feel better in that moment.

Let me give you some facts about laughter. Then you can decide if it will be worth your time to laugh daily.

  • Laughter is a natural painkiller
  • Laughter strengthens the heart and boosts your immune system
  • Laughter is contagious
  • Laughter works as an antidepressant
  • Laughter creates bonds between people and increases intimacy with others
  • Laughter reduces blood pressure
  • Laughter increases your T cells, which are the backbone of your immune system.
  • Laughter therapy has been known to help recovering addicts
  • In the case of Norman Cousins, laughter therapy helped him heal and walk out of the hospital when he was doomed to die

So, How much comedy do you watch? How many funny cat videos can you watch? Whatever makes you laugh. I won’t tell you what your sense of humor should be. I’m just saying do something to make yourself laugh at least twice daily. Your body will thank you later.

So L.O.L. people. L.O.L. at least twice a day!


Humans have a hidden superpower. With it we can both create and destroy. In most people it is raw, unfiltered and troublesome. But, if we could train it and hone it to perfection, it is powerful enough to change the world.
There’s a wise old saying that says, “for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” What does that mean, exactly? It means you become what you think about regularly. Your consistent thoughts become your actions, and your actions change the reality around you. I know this sounds like a bunch of hoodoos, but I promise you there’s science behind it.
What if we trained our minds to create instead of to destroy? We could change the world with one mind at a time.

Never Lose Your Edge

I heard one of the greatest allegories at a little rural church in the Ozarks. In the middle of his message, the guest preacher dropped this little story.

Two men were out chopping wood. One was an old man.  The other was young and egotistical. He challenged the old man to a race, knowing he was younger and twice as strong. Surprisingly, the old man accepted.

Laughing, the younger man tore into cutting wood as fast as he could. It was powerful to see how hard the young man worked.

The old man chopped steadily, but he would stop every little bit, sit down, and sharpen his ax again. Every time, the young man would laugh at him. The man wouldn’t say a word. He would just sharpen and then get back to work.

By the end of the day, the young man was in for a surprise. The old man had chopped almost twice as much wood as the young man. The young man was furious.

“How in the world did you beat me? I was swinging twice as hard and twice as fast.” 

The older man just smiled and sat down to sharpen his ax. He let the young guy stew around for a while. Finally, the young man calmed down and asked him again.

“What did I do wrong?”

“You didn’t do anything wrong. You are the best wood chopper I’ve ever seen. I could never compete with you in strength, but I kept my ax head sharp. You must keep your edge sharp, son. Never lose your edge.”

Wow. The preacher went on to talk about other things, and I’m not quite sure how they tied into the story. But this story hit me so hard. I had to write it down and share it with you guys. What a lesson!

 How many of you guys have gotten tired and stopped sharpening your edge? I know I have lately.

This girl’s going to sit down and sharpen that ax. I’m getting my edge back. How about you?


Finding Purpose Despite Pain



 I recently heard this phrase when listening to a seminar. “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is not!” It sort of shocked me until I thought about it for a while. I had several questions and I thought you might be thinking the same thing so I outlined them in this blog post. Let me know what you think after you finish reading it. I’d love to hear from you concerning this topic. 

What does that phrase mean? Isn’t suffering inevitable too? NO!

Suffering is not inevitable!

  • pain does not come from the difficulties in life
  • they come from our interpretations of those situations. 
  • We grieve over the loss of what could have been. 
  • We feel anxious and stressed when our mental picture of how things should be doesn’t line up with our reality. That’s where suffering actually comes from. 
  • Think about it. The Apostle Paul didn’t suffer at the end of his life. Church legends say he ran to the chopping block. He knew that he had finished his purpose and was ready to meet death. 
  • Now that’s a huge example of a painful experience without mental suffering!

Why is finding a purpose so important?The Universal law of Create or Disintegrate 

  • At the beginning of time, God put into place a set of Universal Laws to govern life on Earth. One of them is “Create or Disintegrate.”
  • Acorn story
  • (Matthew 25) Parable of Talents
  • (Proverbs 29:18) Without a vision people perish

Does everyone have a purpose?

  • Yes! God has a purpose for everyone and it’s up to us to discover it. 
  • (Jeremiah 29:11) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
  • God has a plan for everyone. He gives each of us a purpose and the talents to fulfill it.
  • You either use your talent or you lose it. It’s the same with humans. We must have a purpose in order to grow into the people God wants us to be. We won’t get there through apathy and procrastination.
  • (Jeremiah 32:19b) …to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:”

Are you DOING anything? 

What is a Life’s Mission Statement?

  • Every major corporation has a mission statement that summarizes the aims and values of that company. 
  • Eulogies are written after death by other people and so many of them have nothing to say other than a list of relatives. 
  • What if you could write your life mission statement now and spend the next twenty years living up to it? What would your eulogy say then?
  • God has a mission statement for each of us. What if you could see it? What would it say? 


Conclusion:

Finding your purpose will not take away the painful experiences of life, it will guide you through them and bring you back on course. Hope this helps you. I know it helped me.

Remember God loves you & so do I,

As A Man Thinketh

All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts. Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. ” ― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

Synova writes commentary on this famous self-help book first written by James Allen in 1902. As A Man Thinketh may be in the public domain now, but it is a work for the ages. Why isn’t this information included in our schools?

P.M.A. – Your Guide to Cultivating a Resilient and Radiant Mindset!

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay


What is P.M.A.?

P.M.A. is an acronym for Positive Mental Attitude. This concept was first introduced in 1937 by Napoleon Hill and has been adopted as the key to success by all the greatest motivational speakers, from Tony Robbins to Zig Ziglar. 


“Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.” – Charles Swindoll.


Life can be difficult, and without a positive attitude, most fail miserably. We set out as young adults eager to enter the game of life. Some start a little better than others, but most get to the end of their life and are filled with regret. 


There are a lot of problems created when we are taught misinterpretation of scripture at a young age. How many of you have heard that you need to give thanks because of the scripture that says in everything, give thanks?


“In everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”1 Thessalonians 5:18


There is one keyword that completely changes the meaning of this verse. It’s the word “in.” It does not say “for.” So many people wonder how I should be thankful for this tragedy. By using the word “in,” the scripture says, “despite” the negative, give thanks. Meaning we may not be thankful for the traumatic event, but we should find something positive to focus on and be grateful for that. 


Toxic positivity will not make anything better, either. But having an overall positive attitude will get you through the hard times much better than a negative attitude ever will. 


There is a great book titled, “As a man thinketh” by James Allen. This book dives into the concept that we, as humans, become what we think about consistently. If we always think about the negative things, this will snowball into a giant mess. How many of you can relate to this? I’m sure you all can. It’s human nature to dwell on the bad and completely ignore the good. People don’t realize that your thoughts determine your emotions, your emotions determine your actions, and your actions become your reality. So thoughts truly shape your world. 


Thoughts —> Emotions —> Actions —> Reality


What if you could completely change your world by developing a positive mental attitude? What would your world be?


Tony Robbins has a great saying that I have taped to my mirror. He says, “Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows.” When trying to explain this concept to my coaching clients, I ask them this question. What is life? Your life consists of energy. You only have so much of it before your eyes grow dim and life ends. When you focus on the negative, you are literally giving that negative person or situation a piece of your life. Think about it. Does that hateful coworker deserve a part of your life? Does that problem deserve a portion of it? The answer is a resounding NO!


How To Develop A Positive Mental Attitude:

  • Visualization
  • Affirmations
  • Gratitude
  • Optimize Environment
  • Transform Self Talk

What is visualization, and how can it help you to develop P.M.A.? Visualization is simply using your imagination to visualize what you want instead of using your imagination to blow the negative out of proportion. Take a few moments to imagine what life would be like if you could focus on the positive things most of the time. What would that do for you? How would it feel?


Create a vision board of things you want in your life, and ensure everything is positive. Don’t put stuff on there that might have any negative undertones. Here’s an example. If you want to lose weight, don’t use that phrase. But I want to be healthy, fit, and strong. Don’t write pay off debt. Instead, put financial freedom. When the board is complete, place it where you will see it daily.


As Christians, we sometimes shy away from things like affirmations, but there’s nothing in scripture to support this. In fact, it encourages us to quote scripture out loud. It says to let the weak say they are strong in another place. By using positive affirmations, we are literally reprogramming our subconscious mind. I say “Re” programming because we hear affirmations every day of our lives. Those negative affirmations from childhood still affect you today. So why not weed out the garbage and add in some positive programming? 


Gratitude is the key to changing your mindset quickly and redirecting your thoughts from negative to positive. 


Optimize your environment is a phrase I heard when I started studying with my multi-millionaire coach Christan Mickelsen. He talks about how you need to optimize both your physical and human environments. Who do you spend the most time around? Are they discouraging your dreams, or are they pushing you toward them? 


The last way is to transform your self-talk. Tomorrow I want you to take note of everything you tell yourself. We have this voice in our heads; it can ruin your day, year, and even your life when it’s negative. Take note when your self-talk is negative and flip it to a positive thought. If you keep this up long enough, you will reprogram that inner voice to look for the positive.

“The Power of Paradigms” – What is a Paradigm & How to change them

what is  paradigm? How to change a paradigm?

Change Your Paradigm. Change Your Life.  – by Bob Proctor

What is a paradigm?

I can tell you one thing, it’s not twenty cents! That was the sarcastic response I received once when I taught this in a class. The heckler was a full-grown man of almost sixty. He had never heard the word paradigm and thought he’d be funny. We all got a good laugh, and then I went on to explain what paradigms actually were. 

While it sounds like a good joke, paradigms are serious business. They literally control your life. A paradigm is a set of assumptions, attitudes, and concepts that are buried deep within the subconscious mind. These paradigms control our perceptions of the world around us. Everything our minds process is filtered first through this system of paradigms.

Can paradigms be harmful?

Yes, paradigms are like a set of computer programs and they aren’t always good for us. Sometimes they are governed by limiting beliefs or ignorance, and even past trauma. Some belief systems buried in our subconscious mind aren’t ours! That’s right, our parents program in some of them during childhood. The society around us programs some mindsets into our belief systems without us even realizing it. What if these paradigms no longer serve us?

Don’t panic! I have good news!

Paradigms can be changed. It takes effort, but they are not permanent. The first step is to recognize it and then decide on the programming you’d like to have. After deciding what you want, you can start the reprogramming process. 

In the next post we will talk about how to reprogram those paradigms into ones that will bring sucess and happiness.

Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life


When you’re doing something that’s out of the ordinary, your mental programing, your paradigm, will try and stop you. If you want to win, you must keep going. Your paradigms may be masked in complacency, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurities, self-doubt, mental hurry and self-loathing―the result is keeping you STUCK….locked in a box and starved of your dreams and ambitions.

To change your life―you MUST change your paradigm. The change is not easy, but it’s worth it, and the results are lasting.

Synova’s Sizzling Tips for Using Your Time Wisely

So many people complain about a lack of time, but I contend we all have the same 24 hours a day.

It’s more about how we spend those hours.

There are 168 hrs/week. If you spend 40 at work, 56 hrs sleeping, and 7 hrs at the gym you still have 65 hrs left. What do you do with them? How can you make the most out of it?

#1 Say NO!

Don’t try to please everyone by taking on all their chores. Let them find someone else, or Heaven forbid

Let them find someone else, or Heaven forbid
let them do it themselves.

#2 Plan Ahead

Plan your day the night beforehand. Make a list of the top ten things you need to do and follow the list.

#3 Drop the time wasters

Don’t spend hours on Facebook scrolling through your news feed. Don’t sit and watch TV for three hours before going to bed. Find something more productive to do.

#4 Auto University

How many hours a week do you spend commuting? Why not create your own Commute University.Studies show you can get an entire college education in your car on your way to work! Pop in a seminar, audiobook

Studies show you can get an entire college education in your car on your way to work! Pop in a seminar, audiobook or podcast & learn while you drive.

#5 Delegate

What are you currently doing that someone else could handle? Delegate the tasks that take up all your time so you can be free to work on your goals.

Are You Plagued With Self Doubt?


How many times do you find yourself plagued with self-doubt? A great opportunity arises, but you are afraid to step through that doorway because of this little nagging voice that says you’re not enough.

Who said you are not enough? Tell me why you are not enough. Give me examples. I’ll give you a few excuses or examples of why I sometimes feel self-doubt.

  • I don’t have the right last name.
  • I didn’t go to a good school
  • I wasn’t raised in a wealthy family
  • My weight in health aren’t where I would like them to be
  • I have fibromyalgia
  • I don’t have the connections

Okay, Well, you get the point. I hate to tell myself this, and I hate to tell you, but I’m trying to be honest here. What I just wrote were nothing more than six excuses. They may sound valid and legitimate, but they are still excuses.

If you study the most successful people in the world, 70% weren’t raised in a wealthy family. Most of them didn’t have the perfect last name, and no one had ever heard of their name until they became successful.

There are a lot of celebrities who deal with the painful disease of fibromyalgia. So that’s not even an excuse. It’s just another challenge.

Some of the wealthiest people in the world didn’t go to college at all, much less an ivy league school.

I could continue and debunk every one of my excuses, and I can probably discredit yours too. Just because they are debunked does not mean they aren’t valid. It just means that they are still capable of being overcome. They are a challenge that you are more than capable of conquering. Once you realize this concept, no excuse will be enough to hinder your journey again.

You Are Not Your Past!

I firmly believe this. You can grow and become a new and better person. It takes effort though. Things don’t get better by chance. Things get better by change.

When we focus on something we literally give our energy to it. What is life? It’s energy. When we spend our energy focusing on our painful past then we are wasting our life energy on something that cannot be changed. When we focus on something, we give it more energy and more of our life.

Our life is the most valuable thing we have. Do you want to give it to the past? Why not turn your focus towards positive things you can do today?

Gratitude Will Change Your Attitude


Are you constantly feeling down in the dumps and can’t seem to pull out of it? You work all the time, but it feels hard when it comes time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Do you stop and look at the world around you in this fast-paced world, or are you running too much to see the beauty?

I know I get too busy to look around. That’s probably not a good thing to admit as a certified NLP Life Coach, but it’s true. I can have fifteen certifications, but I can’t lie to you guys. With two kids, a husband, a church family, and a business, I rarely get time to stop and look around. It’s easy to become cynical and just all around bummed out. What can we do? Well, I have a very simple answer. It’s so simple most of you won’t even do it.

You see when things are simple to do, they are also simple to forget. They are simply easy to put off until later. Later never comes, and then the simple becomes forgotten entirely.

Gratitude has been scientifically proven to change your attitude by changing your biochemistry, heart rate, and overall mental health. Every religion on this Earth, past and present, has given high priority to gratitude, and yet we don’t do it. Why? It’s too simple.

A 2018 Greater Good Science Center study found that a regular practice of gratitude increases happiness and overall satisfaction with life. It helps you sleep better at night and have less fatigue during the day. Gratitude has been shown to reduce pain, regulate stress and anxiety, increase energy and focus, and increase our productivity in the workplace. A UCLA study says that regularly expressing gratitude changes the brain’s molecular structure. It means we can literally train our brains to be more grateful over time, increase our brain function, and improve our overall mental health.

So enough sciency stuff Synova!!! What do we do?

Ok. It’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty. Set a notebook by your bed, and I want you to write down ten things you are grateful for every night before bed. Now don’t scribble down the same ten nonsense things every night. Take time to really feel the gratitude well up in your chest for each item listed before moving on to the next one. Thank God for each one and drift off into dreamland peacefully. Then repeat the process every morning to start your day. You don’t have to spend hours. It only takes minutes to set your day up right. 

Love you all – Synova
