Nothing works faster or More dependably to bring your body & mind back into balance than a good laugh.⁣
⁣
Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope and connects you to others to keep you grounded, focused and alert. ⁣
⁣
Children can laugh hundreds of times per day but as adults we become more serious and laugh more infrequently. ⁣
⁣
😆 I love to laugh and having a sense of humor (𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬), has truly sustained me in some of the most difficult times of life. ⁣
⁣
It is important to realize that laughter doesn't mean you are not taking something seriously, it is simply helping you to cope. (As a hospice employee, I had to help my students understand that.) ⁣
⁣
𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚. ⁣
⁣
𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲: ⁣
Boosts immunity⁣
Lowers stress hormones⁣
Decreases pain⁣
Relaxes your muscles⁣
Prevents heart disease⁣

Do you need to bring more laughter into your life? Try these suggestions:⁣
⁣
🙂 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲: a smile is the beginning of laughter and like laughter, it is contagious. ⁣
✔️ 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: looking at the positive distances you from negative thoughts that block humor. ⁣
😆 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧, move toward it: people are often willing to share what is funny because it gives them the opportunity to laugh again. ⁣
🙋🏼‍♀️ 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙪𝙣, 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚: it helps to be around those who can find humor in everyday events. ⁣
❓ 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: ask others “what’s the funniest thing that happened, today, this week, in your life? ⁣
