Meet Yesim Kunter, Play Expert

Posted on by

You have already been introduced to a few of the Key-Note Speakers for The Playing Human Conference in London 5-7 June 2020 and we continue to share the fantastic people in the coming months.

The Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary and The Playing Human Conference in London on 5-7 June 2020 may seem a long time away but there are still many outstanding people to introduce.

Please meet Yesim Kunter who was briefly introduced in our April Laughter News.

Speaking with Yesim about coming to The Playing Human Conference was great. We instantly connected through our passion for playful adaptation of life and in life, and she has a real story to tell about play at work and all around.

Yesim is a renowned play expert and a creative strategist, She understands behavior of people and how to create new experiences as well as  opportunities within the workplace and in life outside work.

As a keynote speaker she has delivered talks at conferences such as World Innovation Convention, TEDx, and the Global Innovation Forum London, an event where I will be sharing Laughter Yoga this year in November.

With a background in large international toy companies such as Toys R Us, Lego and Hasbro Yesim will certainly be able to share something about playing with us all at The Playing Human Conference.

“If we allow ourselves to Play and have Playful Minds, we will make better connections”, Yesim Kunter.

Please visit www.yesimkunter.com to learn more about Yesim. (under re-construction at the moment)

A brief overview of our April 2019 diary

I am still wondering how we can already have left January…

There is so much room for Laughter Yoga for teamwork, stress management and workplace wellbeing as well as for real personal life changes, and March was busy as if there was no tomorrow with events in London, Manchester, Cardiff and Leicester – to mention a few locations we have travelled to on our mission to share laughter.

Available in London, across the UK, and Elsewhere

In April we share laughter during National Stress Month as well as throughout the month in many locations around the UK and London in workshops and training events.

Please remember that UnitedMind has the largest network of Laughter Yoga Partners in the UK and we always do our best to find a good day, time, and a great Laughter Facilitator so please look beyond our diary when you are looking to organise a Laughter Workshop for your group.

A Moment from Yours Truly

I had a thought about the change that Laughter Yoga represents – to me, anyway.

When you laugh you change, and when you change the whole world changes was said by Laughter Yoga International Founder, Madan Kataria, many years ago.

Being on the Laughter Yoga change-train I know this is true, and I also believe that if you still have the same perspective and hold onto grudges and shortcomings, it may mean that you are not practicing what you teach and simply not laughing enough – at yourself and with yourself.

It is easy to pretend to smile more, eat less, laugh more, get less angry, exercise more, be nicer and so on, but if it is only a pretence then it never creates the true change that actually is available to anyone who practice Laughter Yoga daily.

And it takes time…

I am not saying it is easy to stick to and if you give up it really is all it is, giving up, so don’t beat yourself up on that account. Pick it up again and just do it (like NIKE says), just do it!

Create a structure to support you – I did. In 2008 when I started The Telephone Laughter Club I was looking for a way to support myself in laughing every day to beat the potential effect of MS relapses.

Speak with me about your laugther plan!

March was another month that changed many perspectives for me through sharing laughter with you and many private and corporate clients.  Thank you for your laughter, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to connect in mirth!

Love, Laughter and Peace

Accreditation for Laughter Yoga Training

It was with great excitement I opened the package from FHT and retrieved the certificates for training courses for Accredited Laughter Yoga Leader, Accredited Laughter Yoga Teacher, Accredited Laughter Yoga Coach, and Accreditied Laughter Therapist along with the Accredited Training Provider sign.

That was a sentence almost abusing the word ‘accredited’.

Here is why it is so exciting…

First Laughter Yoga Leader Training in July 2007 in St Albans

Since I started teaching Laughter Yoga Leader Training in 2007 I have wanted to take the training to a different level with quality marks and standards that raise Laughter Yoga to being acknowledged as REAL adult education.

Laughter Yoga has become a choice for stress management and team building events with groups, as well as being a tool for one-on-one coaching, for personal and professional wellbeing.

With the Accreditation acceptance it “blue-stamps” the method as an approved skill for life and for work.

Look for an Approved Trainer for your Laughter Yoga course when you choose the provider for yourself or for your team.

Approved Trainers have a whole range of professional certifications including First Aid training as well as personal and interpersonal skills that are key to teaching Laughter Yoga.

They not only know it works, they experience the benefits daily, AND they undertake regular continued professional development to keep their skills up-to-date and fresh.

Read more about the benefits of Accredited Training and requirements on https://www.unitedmind.co.uk/courses/accreditation-and-certification/.

If you would like to know more about Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy training and workshops please contact us via email, info@unitedmind.co.uk or mobile 07736 341 717.

The courses are continuing to fill with laughter-willing people and the Laughter Yoga Leader Training in London on 25-26 April only has 3 more spaces available to book, the Laughter Yoga Leader Training in Preston on 2-3 May only has 2 spaces left.

However, there are many dates to choose between as long as there are spaces available in London, St Albans Preston, Durham and for your own group we can organise dates to suit us all. Dates for scheduled training are listed further down the page.

The 2-day Laughter Yoga Leader Training is now accredited which means there are a few extra requirements, although you can still choose to receive the standard certificate without the Accreditation Status.

You can simply get your certificate and be ready but there are a few more requirements if you want the additional accreditation certificate. The training is accredited in the UK.

Meet Dave Cornthwaite, the YES Man

Posted on by

In February we introduced the Miracle Man and now it is time to get ready for the YES Man.

The Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary and The Playing Human Conference in London on 5-7 June 2020 may seem a long time away but we have a good few awesome people to introduce beforehand.

Please meet Dave Cornthwaite who was briefly introduced in our March Laughter News.

Dave is a total Adventurer. I have known a lot of adventurous people but being an Adventurer is completely different, is what I discovered through speaking with Dave and getting to know more about him through the web.

His first famous event was Expedition1000 where Dave has taken on adventures of over 1,000 miles each in 25 different non-motorised ways.

However, Dave is about breaking barriers and building communities, and what better way than SayYesMore. Started in 2012 as a way to encourage people to do more of what they say they will and actually doing it.

This project went on to become the Yestival where the Yestribe first came together in 2015. The Yestribe is a global community of people who love the outdoors and adventures that come with being outdoors.

Get some ideas from Dave at The Playing Human Conference, nothing stops him from living life to the full. Surfing on top of life is his way and he will be sharing how we can all become more living and alive.

Dave travels, speaks, writes, presents and films for a living. His keynote speech is a motivating and inspirational kick up the backside for anyone who ever wondered whether they were capable of doing more.

I cannot wait to connect with the side of life that is often hidden from me because of serious commitments. Really looking forward to discovering the real adventure that is me and inside me. How about you?

“If you are really really stuck just say ‘Yes’ a bit more and amazing things happen, doors will open. Life will always be better if you do that one”, Dave Cornthwaite.

Please visit www.davecornthwaite.com to learn more about Dave.

The Playing Human Conference takes place at Conway Hall in London on 5-7 June 2020. Book on https://www.unitedmind.co.uk/product/the-playing-human-conference-2020/.

Accreditation and Certification

Posted on by

So what is all this hoohaa with accreditation?

For many years I have been wanting the accreditation stamp for the Laughter Yoga Training courses in the UK.

I already had Laughter Therapist Training accredited by an American organisation back in 2016 when I launched the course under the UnitedMind umbrella of training courses and now it has been accredited in the UK together with the Laughter Yoga training courses.

FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) is the awarding organisation and I am so thrilled this process is now complete. It has taken almost four months from first application and until the criteria for tutors and training have been met fully in order to comply.

There are currently two Laughter Yoga Teacher who can teach Accredited Laughter Yoga Leader Training but the list will grow in the coming months.

Laughter Yoga Teachers Sue Haswell and Lotte Mikkelsen

The requirements for the Accredited Laughter Yoga Training are first and foremost to comply with the training standards of delivery and assessment.

Laughter Yoga Leader Accreditation

  • The training must have been facilitated by an FHT Accreditation Approved Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher
  • Complete verbal assessment at 2-day training
  • Complete written assessment at 2-day training
  • Complete video assessment recorded at firsts Laughter Club session or workplace session (the Laughter Yoga Leader’s own workplace)
  • Assessment by teacher and approved verifying teacher
  • Start a Laughter Club
  • Hold valid public and professional liability and indemnity insurance
  • Preferable. Member of ICO. A commitment to handling data correctly and in accordance with GDPR data protection specifications

Laughter Yoga Teacher Accreditation

  • Completed 2-day Certified or Accredited Laughter Yoga Leader Training with a Certified or Accredited Laughter Yoga Leader Teacher or Master Trainer

  • Complete video assessment recorded at first Laughter Coaching session or workplace session (the Laughter Yoga Teacher’s own workplace) either as a group or individual Laughter Coaching session
  • Complete an 8-week diary as a combination of video and written observations during the course of the 8-week Laughter Yoga Coaching programme which involves warm up exercises, breathing exercises, laughter alone exercises and Gibberish
  • Assessment by teacher and approved verifying teacher
  • Hold valid public and professional liability and indemnity insurance specifically for teaching purposes
  • Preferable. Member of ICO. A commitment to handling data correctly and in accordance with GDPR data protection specifications

  • Assessment by teacher and approved verifying teacher
  • Hold valid public and professional liability and indemnity insurance
  • Preferable. Member of ICO. A commitment to handling data correctly and in accordance with GDPR data protection specifications

What are the benefits of Accreditation?

Accreditation can offer several important benefits, some of which are:

  • First of all it puts a stamp of approval on graduates. Graduating from an accredited institution indicates that graduates are expected to be ready to practice at a certain level.
  • Accreditation is about creating standards and best practices to follow. Ensuring the understanding and delivery is up to the level required to become a facilitator and tutor with professional attitude and skills.
  • Accreditation is a means to building your reputation as a professional tutor and be known as a premier provider. This may be a real deal breaker for potential clients choosing your training and workshops.
  • Knowing the services are being provided in a way that complies with high standards and professional conduct.
  • Accreditation protects the interests of students, the training provider themselves, as well as potential clients looking for professionals, as it ensures that the training offered have met and exceeded standards that were developed by experts in the field of the topic.
  • Although accreditation does not ensure that every Laughter Therapist, Laughter Yoga Leader, Coach or Teacher completing on the programmes will become successful with Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy, it does guarantee that the graduate has demonstrated a certain set of skills and abilities which are defined and reflected in the accreditation criteria.
  • Furthermore, in this world of alternative methods and practices the accreditation may indeed be the reason some choose the courses.

In any case, I am really chuffed that the Laughter Yoga Training courses are now accredited and provided by approved Laughter Yoga Teachers in the UK.

Spring Swirls from Yours Truly

Laughter Yoga is a key that unlocks the true you – potentially!

Everything comes at a price, or does it? Well, laughter brings you an abundance of prizes wihen you practice sustained laughter every day.

Too often we let other people be the key to our laughter and wait for them to make us laugh, e.g. photo – which person are you, smile or frown?

Laughter is too precious and important to leave to the change meeting which is why we take action and start each day with a laugh.

Even when it feels like hard work from the bottom of your toes…

Guess what! Your toes will start wiggling and your whole body creates a jiggle as you let the laughter rift through your body ripping your seriousness from your joyful personality.

One quarter or even one sixth of an hour is all you need to kick up your own self to soaring heights.

NB If you are as bad at fractions as I am it really just equals 10-15 minutes…

It seems like springtime so it must be close.

Today (as I am writing this) I had a beautiful experience of weather laughs with my group of adults with learning disabilities, and undoubtedly the sunshine laughter hit all high notes.

We have been waiting for the light.

I wish you a healthy and positive outlook in life, work, and everywhere you go – from the bottom of my grateful heart.  Thank you for your laughter!

Love, Laughter and Peace

Lotte

Your Everyday Laughter Queen #youreverydaylaughterqueen

The Playing Human Conference – why not?

A great line up is waiting to be introduced. We started in February when we introduced The Miracle Man, Ant Bennett, and this month you are in for another treat when we introduce a true YES-sayer.

Meet Dave Cornthwaite – The Yes Man

Dave thought it was well-early ahead of time to be asked to be part of The Playing Human Conference in June 2020 but as the Founder of SayYesMore how could he refuse…

In 2012 Dave started sharing a personal motto – and it became a movement!

SayYesMore had been a life-affirming message for many years for him and it was a reminder for Dave that small changes to lifestyle can in fact make a big difference as well as being a gentle push at times when it feels rather hopeless.

SayYesMore is a growing community based on positive people supporting each other. There are over 10,000 people all over the world in the YesTribe community but it is more than just about saying yes, it is about helping each other create better, more positive lives.

The YesTribe community holds annual festivals, the Yestival and have converted a double-decker bus into a community space where people are encouraged to spend more time in the countryside, at the same time as actively working towards their potential.

And there is more to Dave than SayYesMore, he is a real-life adventurer who steps into any challenge with positivity and passion.

There is lots more to come!

Read more about Dave on davecornthwaite.com.

Make sure you book soon – even if 2020 seems a long way away.

Cancer and Laughter Yoga

In life we have more than one best friend and they fill differenct spaces and places in our hearts.

My best friend just lost her best friend. Last year my other best friend lost her best friend. To cancer.

To loose someone close, whether a friend, a family member, a colleague, is heart breaking and it happens all the time because it is a fact of life.

When I went to share Laughter Yoga at Whittington NHS Macmillan at their 4th Macmillan Cancer Care Conference early in February I was looking forward to seeing faces I met the previous years.

Some were not there anymore.

Cancer is something we all want to beat and it just seems to take too long and in the meantime people fall away.

There are also some amazing stories of survival and some of them come from the world of Laughter Yoga.

First year of the cancer care conference, 2016

Although Laughter Yoga may not be the cure for all things, one thing is for sure, when we share laughter and practice Laughter Yoga daily we lower stress and we increase the levels of lymphocytes, cells that play a large role in defending our body against – and that can only be a good thing!

Macmillan is amazing and the members of the Whittington NHS Macmillan team will go to the end of the world to make their patients, carers, families, staff have a good experience amidst the not so great experience of living with cancer.

Third year cake, 2018.

Every year they put on an event that highlights the true sense of being more than just a number and a diagnosis.

This is what the team is all about!

We are not numbers and definitely not statistical data.

At Whittington NHS Macmillan everyone is special!

I love sharing Laughter Yoga with Macmillan because it does make a big difference even if it is only the tiniest of spark for embracing laugther in life that is ignited.

We WILL beat Cancer!

Laughter Yoga Leader – a great choice for life

The courses are booming with laughter-willing people and the Laughter Yoga Leader Training in London in March closed early for registrations.

In all the years I have been teaching Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers there is no better sensation than watching the change in people from first entering the room until they leave the course in the afternoon of the final day.

Even if it stops there. Even if the new Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders change their minds about sharing Laughter Yoga with others, even if they only came for themselves – to reconnect with their joy and their true laughter, that is okay.

There is opportunity for adding skills to bring to work, to start your own business with new methods added, changing communities, workplaces, families, and more.

However, re-igniting your joy and your laughter is the core of the training.

The rest is just ‘glitter on top’.

Meet Ant Bennett, the Miracle Man

Posted on by

The time has come for our keynote speakers to be introduced.

The Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary and The Playing Human Conference in London on 5-7 June 2020 may seem a long time away but we have some amazing people to introduce in the meantime.

Please meet Ant Bennett who was briefly introduced in our February Laughter News.

Anthony’s life changed after he was diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses after a trip to EuroDisney. He needed to be resuscitated 12 times and was given a 10% chance of survival after returning from the school trip to Paris in 2006.

Nothing shorter than a miracle happened when Ant made a full recovery that shocked medical experts.

He went on to help secure a £7.5m charity partnership between Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and Whitbread hotels and restaurants.

He spent 5 years working for the company, motivating over 20,000 team members around the UK, building engagement and leading multiple campaigns to support the charity partnership, and even smashed the original £7.5m target by raising £8.5m to help fund a new wing at the children’s hospital.

Ant now works for himself as a full-time inspirational keynote speaker having held more than 200 sessions.

His passion is helping people to unlock their full potential and finding a motivating focus point towards achieving long and short term goals.

Please visit www.iamantbennett.com to learn more about Ant.

The Playing Human Conference takes place at Conway Hall in London on 5-7 June 2020. Book on https://www.unitedmind.co.uk/product/the-playing-human-conference-2020/.

All Year Resolutions To Stay Happy

Posted on by

Already a month into 2019 – scrap those unattainable resolutions and replace them with a new way of living and thinking so that you can stay happy.

New Year’s Resolutions should be all about happiness rather than setting unrealistic expectations.

Giving yourself goals that are unattainable with only add extra pressure and stress.

At UnitedMind we believe in the power of laughter and happiness when living a fulfilling life. Have a look at our top suggestions for introducing resolutions that work towards happier ways of living and being, both in body and mind.

Work out a routine

Many New Year’s Resolutions include losing weight or giving up alcohol and cigarettes, but although these are admirable goals they are often beyond reach.

By working out a daily or weekly routine you can integrate certain things into your life which you are looking to achieve.

If you want to drop a couple of pounds for example, try assigning specific days or times for exercise.

This will give those goals more structure, making them far easier to reach.

Find a positive in everyday

If you start to slip into sadness or become overwhelmed by stress it can be very hard to break out of this cycle.

Of course we can’t all be happy 100% of the time but looking for happiness even in the littlest things can make a big impact.

Living by the motto that you have to be miserable today in order to be happy tomorrow just doesn’t work.

Spend time to evaluate your negative feelings but try your best to also see some positive. You may have had a bad day at work but remember what was good that day too.

Be kind to strangers

Making little adjustments to your attitude by performing random acts of kindness really does help to boost your own mood.

As well as being kind and polite to the people you do know, create a small positive in a stranger’s day by helping an elderly person cross the road, giving directions to someone who is lost, buying a coffee for the person behind you in the queue…

All of these examples may seem insignificant but when you see how they matter to someone else you will share in this happiness.

Make time for the things you enjoy

Stop checking your phone or social media accounts and make time to do the things you enjoy the most.

Whether you love getting immersed in the world of a new book, are an enthusiastic painter, or find amusement in creating your own hit song, set aside time in each day to do these things.

Everyone knows how much simpler it is to feel happy when doing what you enjoy. Even just half an hour spent in this way everyday can outweigh whatever negatives or stresses have burdened you during the day.

Explore the world more

Avoid those resolutions that set ridiculous demands to travel the world and visit every iconic landmark.

Finances aside, travel can be hard to fit in around a schedule without just packing up and leaving completely. Introducing travel into your lifestyle doesn’t need to be completely tricky though.

Look at what is possible and make plans to work from there. From planning to visit a local village at the weekend, to taking a train ride to the next biggest city, there is plenty of fun to be found in the UK.

Find out more ways to stay happy and healthy by having a read through the rest of our blog. At UnitedMind our laughter yoga is an alternative therapy to help fight the struggles of stress.

Just a Thought from Yours Truly

Laughter Yoga unravels you!

From my first Laughter Yoga experience in January 2000 to starting running workshops in the field in 2003 and being the longest teaching Laughter Yoga Teacher in the UK starting teaching in 2007 there is not a moment I have not been treasuring when I look back.

The change in the laughter and the delivery or workshops and training has developed as a natural process of getting to know laughter, do laughter and be laughter.

Friendships and alliances form when we are all on the same page when it comes to encouraging positive change from within and in our shared world.

Mental health becomes our mission as we combat the conditions faced by so many nowadays, and with Laughter Yoga we create way for solutions of the most nurturing kind.

When facing adversity and life changes we become stronger when we know Laughter Yoga and benefit from the resourcefulness we find inside outselves when we practice it daily.

Best of all, Laughter Yoga is non-religious, non-political, non-racial, pro-all-good-things-in-life, completely unifying!

I wish you a healthy and positive outlook in life, work, and everywhere you go – from the bottom of my grateful heart.

Love, Laughter and Peace

Lotte

Your Everyday Laughter Queen #youreverydaylaughterqueen

The Playing Human Conference – why…

When I was considering repeating The Playing Human Conference before the first one ran in September 2018 I was determined to never again organise this type of event.

I teach and I run workshops – and I love it! My passion for creating the platform for positive transformation is delightfully uncovered in this work.

However, I looked at the lit up faces when people entered Conway Hall to join others in learning ways to be more playful in their lives and at work and I made the decision there and then that there is a real need for coming together, meeting, sharing, experiencing new ideas for a changed world.

Meet Ant Bennett – the Miracle Man

A truly inspirational young man who is on a mission to change the outlook and the way of moving forward in life.

Young people are inspired by his story and by his methods for moving forward in life – as are adults!

Ant was given a 10% survival chance after he returned from a Paris school trip with 3 viral infections attacking him from within.

He fought for his life and in recent years Anthony was voted one of the happiest people in the UK by the Independant on Sunday in their ‘Happy List’ for the work he carries out to help enrich the lives of others.

Ant will be sharing his story and empower us to be our best selves when we are out sharing the magic of laughter, joy and positive change.

Read more about Ant on anthonyinspires.com.

Make sure you book soon – even if 2020 seems a long way away.

Laughter Yoga Teacher – a new (ad)venture

After an intense week of teaching the Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training at Felden Lodge in Hemel Hempstead I returned with many reflections and deep thoughts.

Laughter Yoga is definitely a physical activity and we shared loads of moments of truly cathartic laughter, joy, and tears of all types.

The laughter itself paved the way for deeper experiences to surface and the sharing of stories, the friendship, the creation of joy, the all sorts of awesome things in life, happened there – right under our noses for us to grab.

In the Laughter Yoga Leader Training friendships and connections are made but in the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training friendships and connections are deepened in a way that makes it seem as if we have all known each other longer than the five days.

Every group is special and every training leaves me with lots to digest. Even if people do not stay in touch, there will still be friendships that have formed and whenever we come together there is understanding of why we don’t always remain in communication.

Whether people come to learn to become a Laughter Yoga Teacher or to get a fully and more complete understanding of all aspects of Laughter Yoga does not matter, the fact is that people come together to learn and to share.

We all leave with is a cornucupia full to the brim with inspiration, knowledge, wisdom, and a real thirst for making it happen.

This is personal and professional development at its grandest!

There was a purity of intentions in the group in January 2019 that builds on all the past years’ groups, and together with all those who came before, they go on to live the vision they created on the final day of the training.

A vision to change the world with kindness, smiles and laughter.

UnitedMind Laughter Yoga Teachers come together at a Reunion on 12-14 July 2019 at Felden Lodge in Hemel Hempstead. £150 for the stay

Laughter Yoga Teachers take Laughter Yoga one step further!

8 Habits of Incredibly Happy People

Posted on by

You may often stare and wonder how some people are just always happy. You might think they’ve always had a lot of luck in life – luck you don’t seem to have had. But we don’t think it’s just that.

Happiness is what you choose to be, not something that happens to you. Those happy people you envy do things to make themselves happy people, and you can do the same.

Learning to be happy is just like learning any other skill; it might take practice, but it will come naturally in the end. So what are the habits you can practice to enhance your happiness and your life?

Don’t compare yourself

Did you see what we said earlier about envying those happy people? Well, don’t! Comparing yourself to others is one sure-fire way to get yourself down.

You start to notice things that other people have, that you don’t – different qualities, different skills, different advantages in life. When you compare yourself and notice these things, you start to focus on what you don’t have and completely forget about what you DO have.

Always remember how lucky you are to have the life you have. Never dwell on the negatives, and always live life to the fullest!

Kindness

Say goodbye to bad feelings like anger, jealousy and negativity because kindness is scientifically proven to make you happier. Treating everyone with kindness, no matter what mood you start off in, will significantly boost your mood.

It’s all about those feel-good hormones and endorphins in your brain. Simply smiling and expressing kindness wherever you go, promotes positive feelings for you and the person you’re talking to. What’s not to love about that?

It’s not only important to be kind to others, but it’s also important to be kind to yourself. Don’t ever punish yourself for menial things like eating too much chocolate, skipping the gym, or doing absolutely nothing on your day off. Treat yourself.

Keeping busy

Happy people are known to be busy people – not rushed, but busy. Happy people take up hobbies and live life to the full! Don’t be afraid to say yes to trying new things, and don’t be that person that is constantly making excuses to avoid stepping out of routine.

But remember to keep it balanced. If you’re too busy, you’ll find yourself overwhelmed, and probably a little bit exhausted. If you’re spending all of your days doing absolutely nothing, you’ll find yourself bored, miserable, and lacking morale.

Trying new and exciting things is just part of life. Life isn’t about being monotonous; it’s about experience and doing what you want to do.

Cherish friends and family

Friends and family are essential to anyone’s happiness. They know you better than anyone else – that is why they have the ability to keep you sane, keep you laughing, and keep you happy.

Always make time to visit, call or just hang out with family and friends, and don’t ever let your routine or busy schedule get in the way of that. The love you have for them is the answer to a higher quality of life!

Personal control

Never let other people dictate how you should live your life. After all, you have your own goals and your own dreams, and you know what you need to achieve them.

By being in charge of your own life and what you do, you will increase your sense of self-worth and self-value, ultimately leading to a happiness that shines from inside your body to anyone that meets you.

Laugh more

When you think of happiness, what do you immediately think of? Odds are that you think of smiling and laughing. Why? Because these smiling and laughing are visible signs that show a person is happy. In fact, they are more than that…

Smiling and laughing not only show a person is happy, but increases happiness all around too – both within that person, and to anyone around them. It really is contagious.

This is exactly why we put on laughter workshops and laughter training programmes, where people can learn to laugh and embrace laughter to aid their personal growth and happiness. To find out more information about our workshops, you can head to our website or get in touch by calling 08001214714 or emailing info@unitedmind.co.uk.

Be healthy

Eating well and doing regular exercise are two things you can actively do to keep you happy. What you eat directly impacts your mood, and so does keeping active. Whether that’s a daily walk or a few trips to the gym a week, it can help you on your way to true happiness.

All it takes is a balanced diet and about 30 minutes of exercise a day to promote a healthy lifestyle; a lifestyle that enriches the mind, body and soul. In fact, it’s got a positive cyclical effect; being healthy makes you happy, and being happy will make you treat your body better. It’s a win win!

Acceptance

The final key to happiness, and perhaps the most important at times, is that you need to accept that not everything in life is going to be perfect. That’s not negative, that’s not defeatist – that’s just life. And that’s fine.

When we talk about acceptance, we mean both general acceptance of all those curveballs that life throws at you, as well as self-acceptance. Happy people learn to accept changes, injustices and setbacks that they can’t control, and focus their energy towards what they can control.

A Reflection from Yours Truly

Laughter Yoga is fantastic!

As I was looking at my diary for 2019 this morning I glanced at the year we are just about to complete – with great gratitude.

2018 has been an outstanding year in so many ways and the laughter we have shared has been truly exceptional…

  • 12 x Laughter Club
  • 1 x The Playing Human Conference
  • 2 x Laughter Yoga Teacher Training
  • 22 x Laughter Yoga Leader Training
  • 6 x Laughter Therapy, Gibberish and Coach training
  • 85 x Laughter Workshops (20 of them run by my Laughter Colleagues)
  • 1 x Laughter Workshop still to run before 1 January 2019

The rest of my time has been spent keeping 14 websites live and living, summing up accounts, replying to emails, taking calls, writing this newsletter, organising events, updating social media, and the odd free weekend now and then.

I am not intending to brag but simply expressing my delight that I am able to do what I enjoy doing, taking great pride in my work and feeling hugely humbled by the trust.

I love it – I love sharing Laughter Yoga and positive change! I would do even more when possible.

Can you tell?

No laughter-year without its share of challenges, though.

However, Laughter Yoga is so embedded in me as a coping strategy that even those conflicts that caused tears and painful experiences turned into valuable lessons to grow from and build stronger relationships where possible.

The joys and laughter exceed the challenges by far and this is where I find my thoughts go when I look back and pick out memories that shine.

There is no laughter that is irritating, too loud, too strange, excessive, weird or anything else than a wonderful harmony of joyful sounds.

Your sharing of your laughter over the years have brought healing and joy to me and more people that either of us can possibly imagine.

I feel blessed to have had all of this going on, thank you all for being part of the venture and for making laughter happen in so many places.

Practicing Laughter Yoga does not remove obstacles but instead make them more tolerable and easier to live with or even overcome.

Without you, the organisations, companies, workplaces, business partners, individuals, students, colleagues, family and friends I would not have been sharing as much laughter as I have been in 2018 and since 2000.

I am ready for a busy 2019 with even more to share.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Wishing you health, happiness and abundance in all areas of life now and beyond the coming year.

Love, Laughter and Peace

Lotte

Your Everyday Laughter Queen #youreverydaylaughterqueen

Workplace Laughter Workshops and Training

There was a comment following a corporate Workshop I recently held at the Q&A part at the end of the session about laughing at yourself.

A popular laughter exercise is Laugh at Yourself and it was interesting to discuss how some can find it difficult to laugh at the self and what defines us.

The point of the exercise is exactly that, to remove what we make things mean, to not laugh AT but to laugh as a coping tool.

Funny thing about Laughter Yoga and the words we use to describe Laughter Yoga…

We say ‘laugh for no reason’ when in reality we do laugh for reasons which are life-related.

So, instead someone made up that we laugh ‘unconditionally’ – SAME THING!

No conditions, no reasons.

Then we ‘fake’ the laughter but someone couldn’t say that because no one wants ‘fake’ so we ‘simulate’ the laughter or ‘pretend’ – SAME THING AGAIN!

Laughter is truth and honesty and all this pretending it is something or another makes me smile at the thought because these are exactly the things and issues we are addressing and attempting to remove or resolve with Laughter Yoga and the daily practice.

As the saying goes, “life happens outside the comfort zone”.

Why The Playing Human Conference happens NOW!

You may have read a bit about The first Playing Human Conference which was held in September 2018. Perhaps even the story of why it is important for us now.

You can revisit the article on www.unitedmind.co.uk/laughter-conference/why-the-playing-human-conference-is-key/.

People are stressed to their max capacity and as such keep forgetting about the important things in life including being playful.

There are many days where seriousness creeps in, even when attending a conference like The Playing Human Conference.

However, the event provides methods for adapting and adopting skills to remain playful and funloving – even when life throws serious stuff in our faces.

When you commit to the dates, they become real as they enter your diary.

Often we delay making the decision and suddenly the event is over or seats have sold out, or our diary has become full of other events and commitments.

This is true for a lot of things in life…

When you decide for anything it starts happening – NOW!

Why not save a bit of money, like £50, and make sure you save the dates?

Three days of celebrating Laughter Yoga 25th Anniversary with Founders, Dr and Mrs Kataria, followed by The Playing Human Conference with speakers who are joining us to play and to share their serious stories of what brought them to curiosity and courage in life – £100 right now.

Did you notice who is coming?

  • Anthony Bennett, Survivor and Inspirational Speaker
  • Dave Cornthwaite, Say Yes More Founder and Adventurer
  • Sue Haswell, Big Results and Mindfulness Leader
  • Kate Hull Rodges, HumourUs and Author
  • Albert Nerenberg, Film Maker and Laughologist
  • Maggie Irving, Class Clown and Performance Coach
  • Miriam Akhtar, Positive Psychologist and Happiness Expert
  • Yesim Kunter, Toy Designer and Creative Strategist

These awesome and inspiring people are not only there to tell a story, they are coming to share some fun and play with us all!

Make sure you book soon – even if 2020 seems a long way away.

Please get in touch about our courses, workshops, conferences, laughter clubs and other events via email, info@unitedmind.co.uk, phone 0800 1214 714 or mobile 07736 341 717.

London and UK – Laughter Yoga everywhere

In December we welcomed new Laughter Yoga Leaders and shared laughter with companies and organisations in London and South West England and in Denmark.

What a great learning curve for us all, both facilitator and participants.

Fabulous experience!

Whenever I am invited or booked to run a workshop or training I learn as I teach.

There is such tremendous beauty in the change people experience when they are willing to be willing to explore something that may feel different than what we usually engage ourselves in on a daily basis.

A recent comment from a large corporate client:

I can’t thank you enough for the fantastic session you ran for me with my team. The feedback, comments and discussions I have had since highlight to me that people found it informative, useful and, frankly, brilliant. I will confess, I was a bit nervous about it myself, but your professionalism, knowledge, skills and passion shone thorough. It was amazing to watch the transformation of people in the room – it was a physical, real thing to witness – as they gained the confidence to move away from the walls and join in. Then at the end, I think everyone got the point and it had a significant impact on many in the room.

The Certified Training Formula

Together with some great Laughter Yoga Teachers I train individuals and teams all over the world to lead laughter sessions as Laughter Yoga Leaders or Laughter Yoga Teachers.

The Laughter Yoga Training is certified with an international certificate issued by Laughter Yoga International and co-signed by your teacher(s).

Watch this space, it is happening!

The training that is currently being reviewed is

  • 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training
  • 5-day Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher Training
