Defrazzle with a Hearty Guffaw
“The best blush to use is laughter: It put roses in your cheeks and in your soul.”
Linda Knight
We all know the old adage that “Laugher is the best medicine” - but what does that mean, actually?
Well, research has shown that laughing can help in:
lowering blood pressure
reducing stress hormones
increasing muscle flexibility
boosting immune function
triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
producing a general sense of well-being.
The most famous case of laughing away illness is that of Norman Cousins who took that quote literally and set out to heal himself of a serious chronic disease by laughing at favourite comedy shows. He stated that ten minutes of laughing gave him two hours of drug-free pain relief.
In fact the positive effects of laughter have been recognized to the point that now there are certified laughter coaches (my favourite laughter coach website is: http://www.laughtercoach.com Just going there will make you smile!)
Cheryl
Oberg of the Canadian Association for Therapeutic Humour states that children naturally laugh over 300 times a day, but as adults we only laugh about eight times a day. We need to raise the bar a little here!
So, what's a good way to start laughing? Watch small children and listen to their conversations; watch a funny movie with friends (go for some good old fashioned Charlie Chaplin, “I Love Lucy” or Laurel and Hardy); simply keep your eyes and ears tuned for funny events.
So when the schoolwork is piling up, the housework is coming apart and the money is stretched to the max, take time for a hearty guffaw and you'll have the energy and clarity you need to put it all back together again – or at least to survive another day – with a smile!
