Lately, I’ve been working on a project in which I get to laugh … a lot. I’m finding that I have more energy throughout the day. I’m sleeping even more soundly and waking up refreshed. I’ve even lost a pound or two. My mind feels clearer and though I have less time to get the “other things” done, it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m having a good time and it shows.
I can’t think of many things more healing than laughter. It creates physical changes in the body — more oxygen exchanged in the respiratory system, more blood rushing through the veins, endorphins released in the system, and an abdominal workout all happening at the same time.
It’s the holidays! If you haven’t taken the time to do so, please go watch a funny holiday movie, read a funny book, or just get together with friends agreeing to only talk about things that lift you up and cause you to laugh out loud.
Try it! Laughter is the best medicine for the head and the heart!
Body Talkin’ and Laughin’,
