How to use a sense of humor to tackle uncomfortable or difficult situations Some of the things you’ll learn about limboing through life are: I’m happily married, a grandmother to a new granddaughter and a sister, a former peace officer and a professional speaker. I’m an expert on human behavior and I work with corporations in the United States and Canada on how to solve crises, motivate employees, solve problems and teach effective communication skills. As we get older, or the challenges get harder we find ourselves on our butts in the dirt wondering when we got so inflexible and stiff. As a child I had no problem contorting my body to incredible positions to get under the bar, but as an adult I don’t have that same flexibility. But as the game goes on the stick gets lower and lower and it becomes harder and harder to maneuver. The winner is the last one to get under the bar at the lowest notch.Īt first the bar is held high and it doesn’t take much effort to maneuver. If they move the stick, hit their heads on it, or fall down they’re out of the game. While festive Caribbean music is played participants form a line and bend their bodies backwards and sideways while trying to move under a horizontal bar or stick. It’s a high-spirited dance game of flexibility and balance. If you’ve ever been to the Caribbean or a beach party of any kind, you’ve probably played this game. I used to wonder the same thing until I was reminded of a high-spirited dance game I used to play as a child – The Limbo. Do the people around seem to maneuver through life so much easier than you do? Do they seem to miss all the tough breaks and catch all the good ones? While you’re slip sliding along do they seem to never lose their balance? What exactly is it they know that you don’t?
