What's funny about this I'm not getting?

Suffering? In pain? Frustrated? Someone doing you wrong? Rather than going into the no good, wrong, trauma and drama default, ask “What's funny about this that I'm not getting?” For example, when I was supposed to be doing pull ups (with an elastic support band, mind you) at bootcamp the other day, but instead was just hanging there about as useful as a rubber chicken. Was I in pain and pathetic? Oh yes. What it hilarious? Heck yeah (um, rubber chicken). What about a relationship that's on a wash cycle of wring-your-heart-dry? What's funny about that? Gotta be something. Even if it's to laugh at yourself for pushing the same old wring-me-out-now button and expecting a different result. Cute, but not bright. What's great about laughing? It boosts your oxygen and feel good body bits and kicks you out of the self-pity spiral. Are you willing to see more of life's funny side?
