Laugh Til it Hurts
When was the last time you laughed so hard it hurt or that laughter took your breath away? My guess probably too long ago. The old saying goes, "Laughter is the best medicine" and there just might be some truth in it.
When you laugh, your body releases hormones called endorphines that create a sense of well being in a person. When you laugh your lungs expand and are exercised. When you laugh you are refreshed mentally. When you laugh you are contagious...........a hearty laugh will 99% of the time make others laugh and gee, what a great experience.
I can remember laughing so hard I couldn't get my breath and my face and chest hurt, and tears were streaming down my face. I am sure all of us remembering a time when we were drinking something and we got to laughing and it came out of our nose. Who of us have not roared at seeing someone slip and fall (as sadistic as that sounds). I, for one, love to laugh and it doesn't take much to get me started.
Many of us forget to laugh as adults. We have to be so serious because we are MATURE people. Well laughing as an adult does not make you immature, it makes you fun to be around. There must be something to this laughter thing as it brings in money......just look at all the home video and blooper shows on TV. Do you think a sponsor would invest in such shows if they didn't think it would draw people?
So the next time, something tickles your funny bone, let lose of you inhibitions and throw your head back and let the laughter free............I promise you , you will not regret it.
You might even want to bookmark the above video and save it and replay it when you feel there is nothing left in life to laugh about.
