We Need To Laugh More!We Need To Laugh More!
Laughter lifts us up. Life becomes worth living. We experience that
vanishing state of being called relaxation. We stress less and enjoy other people more. We
become fully present in the moment.
" Life is too important to be taken seriously." ~Oscar Wilde
We are a serious nation with serious people who have serious
health problems, many of which are related to stress. Laughter relieves stress. Through
laughter we cope with our fear and anger, the two emotions which result in stress.
It allows us to be creative and to work harder but more
comfortably.
It decreases isolation. Laughter allows us to bond with
other people and ease our loneliness.
It's contagious. Laughter creates laughter. Allowing laughter to
swell into a movement across the land would reduce our growing anger and violence.
It's universal. Everybody can laugh. Human beings are born with
the gift of laughter. A sense of humor is not necessary to laugh.
It reduces aggression and conflict. People laughing are unable
to hold each other at sword point. Some how there is no longer a point, only acceptable
differences.
It relieves anxiety. One cannot laugh and be afraid
simultaneously. It's physically impossible. Laughter also shrinks the source and size of
our fears.
Above all else, it's fun. It gives us back our playfulness, a
characteristic of all mankind.
Laughter is a natural, physical process which releases pain,
physically and emotionally. It is part of the body's biological drug store. Introduce more
laughter in your life and revel in the opportunity to need fewer or no drugs at all to
revel in the experience of your everyday life.
