For Those who Like to Laugh and Those who...

It has been said many times that laughter is the best medicine – and it is of course the best medicine because it relieves stress. As you know, stress is a killer and lurks behind most illnesses which you could term as being (almost) psychosomatic!

Do you laugh many times during your busy day? Sometimes it is not easy as you feel a bit down or out-of-sorts and laughter is the last thing you want. So you want to be miserable—well, that is your right to be yourself. But you know, it is easy to come out of feeling low; all you have to do really is to change your attitude—like changing your coat.

Try this; if you smile a bit even if you have nothing to smile about, you will almost certainly find something to smile about! Something will pop up for you to smile, grin or burst out laughing. So wax a smile and see what happens, you’re going to be surprised.

Have a look at ways to include laughter in your daily activities, maybe you could read some daily funny quotes on the internet? Scan through the paper for comic strips and one simple cartoon can spark off a thought about someone or something bringing a smile. Did you know if your heart is full of laughter you will live a lot longer? So laughter becomes no laughing matter.

Okay, I agree. Sometimes laughter takes quite an effort and can be "felt" by your family and friends…suddenly the phone rings and mom says “I was just thinking about you, are you okay?” It is almost ESP and there is the connection from your heart which mom picked up. "Nah" you say, "That's all a load of bunkum, I don't believe that for one moment." Well, try it--if it works for you that’s great. If it doesn’t that is also okay. Wax a smile and your personality stays intact.

If you are really gung-ho about life, fun will find you and so will fun people. It is something like a magnet as you connect to these humorous folk over the “airwaves.”

Go here for some wonderful funny quotes and sayings that pop up which should bring a smile or two.
