COSTA MESA, Calif., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- If you would like to help a
friend, family member, coworker, or yourself be happier, here is great news!
We have a fun way to find happiness: Join Club Misery. If misery loves
company, then you've come to the right place.
Seriously, it is widely accepted that a spoon full of sugar makes the
medicine go down. That is certainly the case when it comes to changing human
behavior and improving one's life.
Drawing upon his diverse background as an undercover intelligence agent
and corporate executive, Bob Houle, Ph.D., developed the club. Both careers
involve motivating people toward change. He learned that it is far easier for
people to see something unpleasant in themselves, when it is presented with
care, kindness, and humor!
A CLUB MISERY membership includes: a membership card, wall certificate,
"it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" pity party invitations, your very
own "I've got tears in my ears from lying on my back and crying over me"
crying towel, plus the "132 Ways to be Happy in the Next Five Minuets or Less"
poster.
When we laugh and accept ourselves, our natural response is to look for
more positive options and choices. CLUB MISERY awareness tools provides a
humane vehicle to recognize your misery, laugh at yourself, accept it and
provide positive options. This is a fun entree into the change process.
Awareness is the first phase of change and by receiving a membership or buying
one for yourself, awareness is being created.
An important awareness for many is when they realize that they are
participating in pity parties. These parties are a way of negatively bonding
with others and they keep you stuck in an avoidance mode. It is just another
way of keeping the "Ain't it Awful" game going -- just another forum for
excuse making.
Laughing and smiling at yourself and others can help you move to the
Acceptance phase, meaning you accept the fact that you are only human. Once
awareness and acceptance are achieved, our natural response is to look for
alternative ways of thinking and behaving.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "Most people are about as happy as they make up
their minds to be." These awareness, acceptance and alternative behavior
tools are designed to help people do just that.
Memberships are available for $9.95 each (including shipping) from CLUB
MISERY, 1306 Watson Ave., Costa Mesa, CA 92626.
