This is funny business.

We cannot step outside of limiting frameworks from inside a stress response. Nervous systems that feel safe enough to soften can adjust, grow, and change.  Laughter helps us soften. 

I think a lot of things are funny.  I crack up about things that are supposedly not funny at all.   But my use of humor is not intended to minimize.   Levity can make scary things approachable enough to examine without holding our breath and sweating profusely.  Doesn’t that sound good?

Fun and rigorous are not opposites.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably not having a very good time.
