Laughter is an instant vacation.
-Milton Berle
Are you in need of a vacation… Go on an instant vacation by allowing yourself to laugh a good laugh! I am going on vacation this weekend as my good friend is coming into town and we are going to spend time laughing and having a good time. With the holidays approaching and the economy where it is at, the cheaper way to get away and have a great time is simply by a good laugh! As the Yiddish proverb states, “what soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.” Laughing cleanses away the negativity and leaves you in a refreshed state.
We’ve all had those moments when we’re amongst friends and just have the time of our lives. The laughter takes over conversations as you reminisce about past times and memories. Sometimes you get infected by the humor and just can’t stop laughing. Have you had those moments?? Laughter is so infectious that it can change any mood and make light of any situation.
Doesn’t the energy of a good laugh stay with you and makes you feel relaxed and almost euphoric, almost like you just had an amazing workout!? The effects of laughing can simply amazing. Why don’t we laugh more often? Have we become so wrapped up in our own lives that we can no longer let go and relax?
The stress and demand of life and relationships should have us pursuing more laughter as a life routine. Exercise, diet and attitude in our lives all have such a positive effect on all areas of our life but one factor we are missing is laughter! Follow a routine with proper exercise, diet, positive outlooks and now add laughing to your program and see how amazing your life is! We need to add laughter to our daily lives. The positive effects of laughter will surprise you and immediately improve all areas of your life.
It’s hard to imagine, but laughter will create actual physical effects that benefit the body. Laughter will relax the body which relieves tension and stress and actually releases stress hormones. Your muscles will feel relaxed up to 45 minutes after laughing and that helps reduce pain. Laughter lowers blood pressure, activates the immune system, and triggers the release of endorphins. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can protect you against heart attacks and also improves lung functions by emptying the lungs of air.
Llaughter, it is a universal language and creates positive relationships anywhere in the world. It makes you feel rejuvenated and it is amazing what laughter will do for you. Laughter will wake up your mind, make your body feel better, and soothe your soul. You will find yourself more creative while improving and enjoying your relationships.
Learn to share laughter in your life. Laughter is one of the things that is there for all of us to enjoy and it is priceless! You want to improve your life physically, emotionally, and spiritually? Then start laughing! Take a vacation that doesn’t cost a dime, start laughing and you will be in paradise!
So keep on laughing and don’t talk life so seriously.
