 
THE POWER OF LAUGHTER
"Good humor is tonic for the mind and body. It is the
best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business
asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human
burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and
contentment."
Grenville Kleiser
It's the grease that keeps the wheels of our life running smoothly.
Laughter has been called "the best medicine" - and for good reason - a good dose
of deep, heartfelt laughter can help pull you through some of the worst times in
your life. Being able to laugh at it just makes it easier, doesn't it?
Laughter is so good for us, both physically and motionally. It strengthens our
immune system, improves our cardiovascular health, tones and relaxes our muscles,
reduces depression and anxiety, boosts our productivity and
creativity, and does a whole lot more good to our being.
Laughing is a great healer and I want to share with you how
much. Think of Bob Hope and George Burns. They lived longer
than most by using their God given talent for humor to anchor
them in their life. Laughter is a big key to our health. Laughter
has a way of making problems melt away. It lets us know just
how ridiculous we are. Comedians are so sought after by
people because innately we know the healing effect they have
on us.
Quite simply, laughing makes us feel good.
So why not En-lighten up a little?
Can you laugh at yourself and at things that have appened
in your life?…
A recent study found that 5-year old children laugh up to
400 times a day! In this case it's the kids who can teach
us a thing or two! So, start counting how often do you
laugh!
Let's develop our own humor and laughter muscles... right
now!
Are You Ready???
Here are some empowering questions to ask yourself on a
daily basis:
"How many things can I notice today that are truly funny?"
"Who can I make smile right now?"
"What tense situation can I look back on and laugh about?"
