On being happy

11 Replies

I smile a lot, I laugh everyday, actually I generally get the giggles. I play seriously loud music have a passion for tutu's and adore marmite cheesy disco and mad clothes. I work tirelessly I do my best to be supportive. My life is quite amazing. My point is I remain in great shape and despite the insomnia, nausea, incontinence, stiffness, brain fade and the countless frustration. Positivity, being supportive, kindness, generosity, Care I am addicted too. For me it is proving to be the best treatment out there.

Does it taste like Vegemite?

Also, regarding finding a funding sourse for your 48 hour concept, have you thought of approaching Medtronix?

Great attitude.

I am happier than I have been in years! Agree with Hilary: yoga and exercise help a LOT with body, mind, and spirit.

When I get sad I remember

1) I am loved/appreciated by so many wonderful people

2) I can still do almost everything I want/need to

3) I am so fortunate to be healthy (other than PD) and to have my basic needs securely provided for

Humor is SO important - always be ready to laugh at yourself. And laughing must, if anything, release some endorphins in your brain that make you feel better - it really IS the best medicine.

Thank you!

Totally agree! I was diagnosed this year around the same time as I struck 50 and I try to have a giggle at every opportunity. What I struggle with is all of those really miserable people around who have no reason to be - life is too short not to have fun x
