Have on your laptop gingles you play from time to time
Start your conference wearing a pyjama
Bring a strange object in a meeting
Or put it on your desk
Watch funny videos with your colleagues
Or moustaches
Wear a funny hat
I bring from time to time one of your son’s toy at the office: that makes people laugh
Read or watch Dilbert! http://www.dilbert.com/
Laugh first, then know why
Learn a magic trick and perform it at work
Humor is a good way to stop a conflict
Wear two different shoes
Comment office absurdities to release the pressure
Very useful for budget discussions
Work on perfecting your funny impressions of your customers or colleagues
Bring in a laughing teacher.
Have a popcorn party in your office but forget to put the top on when you’re making the first patch.
I don’t cultivate it; that just happens! It’s very natural to me.
THE IDEAS FOR THE CREATIVE CHALLENGE “HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IN YOUR COMPANY?” are here!
This invitation is so relevant in our too busy agendas: let’s target tempo gusto for 2015!
Nice!
I live in Hawaï “Ride with the tide and go with the flow”, don’t offer a lot of resistance
I tend to be lost in my thoughts, I am slow naturally and need to speed up
New ways of thinking to explore! Good for us!
Just got in Sparkling Rendezvous and gathered a lot of different ideas

Hi!
Nice post
Hello to all of you,
I live in New-York and had the wonderful opportunity to visit the murals. I really recommand it! It’s overwhelming and such a nice and impacting initiative! Enjoy!
Very encouraging article!
What I like about the creative meetings is that it can be applied to any kind of challenges.
Imagine all the wonderful events to come! WAOUH!!!
One word is essential: share, share and share. That makes me so happy.
Give thanks for all the people I meet, even in difficult relationships: they make me be more compassionate.
I buy myself a little pleasure… every week
I enjoy going on vacation very often during the year: just a few days from time to time helps to refresh body and mind.
I also enjoy looking forward a good time with family or friends
I take time to remember my best souvenirs! That’s great to live it again!
Take the time to do one thing at a time.
Be madly in love with… everything!!!
Enjoy pleasure and make it last as long as I can!
Increasing the quality of my relationships: spend nice moments with my family, friends and colleagues!
I’m grateful for everything I receive, even very small things.
I congratulate myself for my successes… and learn from my failures
I love who I am, what I do, what I have. What else could I need?
Everything comes to an end, even difficult times! To remember that helps!
I surprise myself at least twice a week!
What about a nice massage from time to time?
Everyday something new!
Live life fully at a quiet pace and in a harmonious atmosphere!
I buy myself flowers!
Don’t let the stress enter your office!
Slow down and enjoy each action one after another!
THE IDEAS FOR THE CREATIVE CHALLENGE : HOW CAN WE DEVELOP OUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE? ARE HERE !!!
I forwarded Trendy grandmas to all my friends! We are very enthusiastic about this article!
Just love to travel with Sparkling Rendezvous: awaiting impatiently for next trip, where are you going to lead us?
It makes me want to be a kid again!
Not all childhood hopes and dreams can come true, but I guess that we can always keep on dreaming and hope that our dreams will eventually come true!
It’s good to know all that!
In our office, we have decided to really go green and made some major choices that are going to be implemented before end 2014. Glad to be part of The Futures Shapers’ family!
I’m new to the blog: lots of nourishing stuff for my creative projects. Longing for next post…
Your work was exactly what I was looking for!
I’m already flying to the moon, geeeeeee ! Have a gorgeous summer dear all.
I tend to forget all my little tricks: for me, the challenge is to remember them!
Remember to relax
I usually go and see my boss to ask him to prioritize the different tasks.
Do a sudoku or a crossword puzzle or play with my Rubik’s cube helps me to focus on something else
Splashing your face with cold water
Why not get a little massage?
Or make it yourself
Share a cup of tea with your best colleague
Have a good laugh with a joke
Even provoked laugh is good too
Putting on a few drops of your favourite perfume
Go out for a 5 minute walk
Eat chocolate ice-cream
)
Listen to a few minutes of music on your smartphone
Having a drink at the coffee machine
Drawing or colouring a mandala helps relaxation & concentration
Just sit down and sleep for 5 minutes!
Wanta try deep breathing?
For me there is no better way than meditation: it makes me calm and controls my negative emotions. My mind gets clearer.
The ideas for the Creative Challenge How to manage the pressure better are here!!!
I think Jose Mourinho has good points on managing pressure. The best way to manage pressure is to not feel the need to have it. Do your best and have fun. Stay loose and limber. Usually the results are better that way.
“Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football”
“We play without the pressure. We play without the responsibility. Tonight we sleep with sundreams”
-Jose Mourinho
Beautiful, thanks!
I really love Stockholm too and think a visit there is very valuable for our creativity, especially the trendy and original cafes.
