“LAUGHTER IS AN INSTANT VACATION”…wise words shared from Milton Berle.
I like nothing better than a good old fashion belly laugh. You know, the kind that makes your sides hurt, your eyes water and takes your breath away. And to share that experience with someone else…that is what creates memories.
The sound of laughter is contagious. When laughter is shared, it brings people together and increases happiness and connection. Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Laughter, boosts your energy, diminishes pain, decreases stress and it’s damaging effects. When you are laughing you signal to others that you are approachable and open to sharing a moment together. Best of all, Laughing is fun, free, and easy to use!
Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good old fashion laugh. It lightens your burdens, inspires hope, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
Incorporate laughter into not only your personal and social life but also into your professional life. Teams that bond strongly and are high achievers seek ways to embrace creativity and fun. The Leaders most influential in my life have been able to lighten a mood or situation through humor thus encouraging laughter.
So, laugh a lot! Seek out ways to increase laughter in your life. Gravitate toward movies, books, shows..people that evoke laughter. Laughing means you’re happy. Happiness is a positive energy flow. When was the last time you were tickled or you tickled someone else?
