Most of us have days when smiling and optimism come easy, but at any given moment each of us also has 100 reasons to be stressed, anxious or upset. Sometimes we live in this distress, becoming victims of our own misery and rolling in it like a dog in a paddock. It's a boring old cycle that we need to break often, giving ourselves the chance to be happy. But happiness isn't as hard as you might think. It's not something that takes years to achieve, it's something you can have right now. It's within your grasp every second of the day... and it's called laughter. Ha!
So laugh. Laugh when you're upset at your boss (not to your boss), laugh when dinner burns (again), laugh when someone cuts you off on the highway and laugh when you forget your umbrella and it pours while you're out. While you're at it, go see a comedy at the movies, call an optimistic, laugh-a-minute friend for a chat or read a book/mag sure to make you giggle. Why for laugh?
* It's the fastest way to snap out of a bad mood
* Tension and stress are released throughout your body
* Your immune system is strengthened
* Pain is relieved
* Energy gets a boost
* You'll look more attractive than a grouch
* Endorphins are released, making you feel good
* Blood flow is increased and the heart protected
* It diffuses conflict
Sometimes spontaneity needs a bit of planning, especially if it's not a part of your usual repertoire. Try smiling more, tell bad jokes, be grateful of all the positive things in your life and do silly things to make others laugh. Just try not to make fun of others as a means of getting a belly laugh, otherwise, the jokes on you. ROFL x
