Twice a month I attend a call as a member of a coaching group made up of people establishing and growing businesses as coaches. The other members are very good at bringing in discussions of Positive Psychology and personal strengths.
That means that pretty often they talk about ways they record their gratitude, because research has shown that the active practice of recording specific reasons you felt grateful during the day increases your happiness. It leads to improved mood and a brighter outlook. That sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Please pardon the scraping, clanking, and banging. That’s the sound of me dragging my soapbox into position.

Improvisation
November 4, 2010
Last Tuesday I met with Francie Cooper, my co-host of the Tapa Palapa podcast. We met to plan our schedule of topics and record an episode.
I suggested a topic, and although we decided on a different theme, that topic kept showing up. It was so adamant I decided to capture it myself and share it as a Twisting Road™ Travelcast recorded on my phone.
I’m trying to get a feel for ten-minute podcasts, but I didn’t look at a clock or watch for this one so it’s just over twelve minutes. Still should be easy to listen on your computer or download to your MP3 player, iPod, or phone.
In the podcast I mention John Williams of Screw Work Let’s Play fame. I reference a video of his interview with improvisational comedian Neil Mullarkey, which you can see below.
I also mention the fre-e-book (fr*ee e-book) I’m preparing to offer. I still have to finish formatting it, learn the settings to upload it to my autoresponder, and get all the code in the right places to offer it. Learning as I go!
