It’s Make Me Laugh Monday, and it’s time to talk about self-affirmation. Have you ever had one of those weeks months years lifetimes days where you just needed a pat on the shoulder… A little “You can do it, cowboy/girl”… Perhaps a ribbon and lolliop? A sash? Or maybe you’re like me and just need a trophy, an official-looking certificate and a red carpet to make you feel validated that the outfit you wore last week did, in fact, match. Some of us need more validation than others I suppose…
I don’t know. Everyone is so different.
One thing I am sure of is this — there are so many great ideas… great plans that are just… just… OUT THERE. Out there for anyone to eat up. Anyone. Oh, I don’t know, maybe something like this:
Yeah. Like that. Go ahead. Type that URL into your browser. This CD is still available to the under-appreciated public. Act now so you can get your Puzzle Affirmative Jewelery – declaring your courage, your unstoppability… declaring the fact that without you — the puzzle is incomplete. But that’s not it. Nooooo… You can also get the “Because of You” CD, where a woman with a velvety voice entices you to realize your value,
“Because of you… I wake up smiling *crowd cheers*. Because of you… I am the happiest I have ever been! *more cheering from a wildly appreciative crowd* Because of you, I know why I am here!… To LOVE YOU and to be LOVED BY YOU!!! *cheers, cheers, and more cheers*.”
It’s true. Go here… and you can listen for yourself.
My Public? Can I just save us all $24.95? Read this in the most sultry and relaxed voice you can muster Now, go to your mirror…
As you look in your mirror… look into your eyes. Your beautiful eyes…. Smile at You. Tilt your head… No… the other way… There… That’s your good side…. So pretty…. Run your fingers through your hair. Tossel it a bit. Doesn’t that feel good? Now giggle. Just giggle. Throw your head back and giggle… Now look back into that mirror. Ignore the toothpaste spit on that mirror. Rather, focus on your clean, vibrant teeth… Oh yes, they are white… and clean… and lovely. Now smile. Tilt your head again. Lean forward and blow your gorgeous self a kiss… Nod. Like you mean it. Tell your reflection, “Yes.”
Just say “Yes”… Linger on the “Ssssss” in “Yesssss”…
Do all of this — Just… Because… You… Can… Take a deep breath. Make sure you are still smiling. Now repeat after me as I repeat the words of the original self-affirmer, Stuart Smalley… “I am good enough. I am smart enough, and doggonit… people like me!”
Now go forth… Go forth with laughter and tell everyone about Me and my blog. And also comment. Just… Because… You… Can… Yessssss…
My heavens! You are GORGEOUS! Absolutely breathtaking… *Jennyonthespot gasps for air*

I love Stuart Smiley! He was brilliant and I use his affirmations with some regularity. This video, though, takes it to whole new level!
LOL! I think I posted that on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t stop laughing!!
I think gushing over myself that much would just make me uncomfortable. I don’t handle praise well.
I honestly don’t think I could look in the mirror and say all that without laughing hysterically, even though I do have days where I need my Worlds Greatest Mom Sash. (She types, as she wears her pink Mommy Crown). Although, yes indeedy, that video was more than a bit over the top…
But hubs knows that every now and again, Mama needs an “atta girl”. I think the tiara and sash give it away…
Aw, man. I looked in the mirror and saw a new zit forming.
All that hissssssing is making me think of the ssssssnake in Jungle Book! Wouldn’t one run the risk of spitting on the mirror while saying, “Yessssssssss”?
I just wear my Miss America crown every day and I feel great – beautiful, talented, poised, physically fit, and able to bring about world peace. Muah.
*giggle*
I have a darling man who everyday winks at me and calls me Babycakes to make me feel special. Does it matter that he’s only 11? ;)
Yesssssssss! But I went to run my fingers through my hair and they got snagged in the massive chaos that is my hair andnowmyhandisstuck so I am typing with just one hand. But that is ok.. because I’m gorgeous.
