IFLP ???? - i don't know what that is!!! :?:
Vic-Luc, don't fret...the comic release is something I just came up with right now...no biggie...do it, don't do it...no pressure... :lol: [love these!]
I just felt like laughing, and encouraging others to laugh too...there is scientific proof to show that laughing promotes good health and reduces stress (er, not really rocket science, what? :roll: )

But yeah, in the ILP program, they do mirror exercises. You look in the mirror and laugh hysterically and practise hysterical happiness.

Well, I can see why you might be nervous...but I have to comment, I have noticed that when people laugh [b:210a561804]hysterically[/b:210a561804] it is usually a sign of nervousness or a form of stress release.
That is not the kind of laughter I am encouraging....

Laughter in dealing with stress is, a lot of times, socially inappropriate and unhealthy...the laughter covers the fear/nervousness and gets "stuffed." People who stuff emotions crack up everntually and the reaction/fallout ain't pretty.

SO, lack of sleep, nutrition, quality air, sunlight, room to relax, uncomfortable chairs, weird language, circular reasoning, people taking notes in the back, people spilling out their most personal secrets and being screamed at - what's not to like?

I am not familiar with some of the terms.- [eg. ILP?]

The chair spacing (actually - lack thereof) also throws the participants off balance as there is just no room to relax. I'm small yet was squished between two rather portly gentlemen during the first couple hours of the Forum. If I had relaxed even a bit, I would have been leaning on one of their shoulders.
