Fitness is important, but it isn’t everything. Someone who runs 8 kilometres a day can still be a psychological mess. Be aware of the importance of having a positive attitude to life and living. Sometimes a change in attitude can be as good for your health as a 5 km walk.

Amanda Gore, health consultant and fantastic motivational speaker, suggests that you think of laughter as ‘internal jogging’. When you laugh, you not only reduce stress, but you exercise your diaphragm, your spleen, your digestive system, and increase both your strength and the immune system. Laughter helps you feel better.

It’s cheaper and more fun than drugs, and easier than pounding the pavement. That’s quite a payback for a few minutes’ laughter! Take some time for internal jogging every day – have some fun, relax, and laugh. You’ll look good and feel great – and your knees will thank you, too.

If you've been told you're a great speaker and you want to pursue your passion, then this is the step-by-step guide to getting started. Turn your talents into reward. Get it now!
