Thought Tweet #453 Allow a bit of the child in you to generate and enjoy workplace humour.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
A sense of humour is a facet of a pleasing personality and it is a gift possessed by the greatest of leaders. Of course, your humour has to be 'fitting', not destructive, and in good taste.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Meditation guru B. Alan Wallace introduced it this way: “Before we can develop attentional stability, we first need to learn to relax.”
And, as an introduction to his meditation instruction, he wrote: "Our minds are bound up with our bodies, so we need to incorporate our bodies into meditative practice. In each session we will do this by first settling the body in its natural state, while imbued with three qualities: relaxation, stillness, and vigilance."
