When You’re This Intense, You Need to Laugh
November 11, 2013
Most of the time I look pretty grim. Like I’m about to be caught doing something really bad.
It doesn’t matter that I feel perfectly fine, it’s just that, as an introvert, I live inside my head.
The intensity thing sometimes gets in the way of having fun. I’m so busy being serious, that I forget to look around and have a good laugh. To do something mindless or silly in the name of fun.
Loosening up tends to be a problem I share with a lot of my clients and friends. To this end, I’ve gotten big into assigning them (us) movies to make them (us) laugh.
Here are just a few of my all time favorites. Download one tonight. You won’t be sorry.
1. Bridesmaids
2. The Heat
3. We’re The Millers
4. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
5. Rat Race
OK. Your mission, Jim, if you choose to accept it, is to have a good laugh.
I’d love to hear about other funny movies you’d recommend!
