25 Small Ways To Improve Your Life - Week 5 - Laughter

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices - C. Dan Joyner 21498

If you have been keeping up, you know that it has been more than a week since the last entry to this series... That is because I have been trying to actually do the items in each post, and it has taken me a little longer than a week on several of them. Truth be told, I'm still not done! That clutter thing in week one and two is still my nemesis, but I WILL conquer it and I WILL have a place for everything and put everything in its place!


For this week, we are going to do something much more simple than the first four weeks! We are going to laugh! It has long been said that laughter is the best medicine.. Laughter relieves tension, stress, and anxiety. It releases endorphins, which is the chemical in the body that makes you feel great. Laughter also is healing. 

 

How can you laugh more, you ask? First, start with a smile. Then, loosen up and don't take things too seriously. It also helps to spend time with funny people or kids... Spend more time doing things that are fun like watching a funny movie ( one of my favorite things to do), or reading a funny book. 

 

 

If you can laugh every day, not only will your mood will improve, but your body, mind, and soul will reap the great health benefits of this wonderful natural medicine.

Thanks for the reminder Sheila, I know that humor is a healthy ingredient, but often forget to take the time for a bit of it in my day.

OMG, I'm so like you.  I pretty much did week 1 (but still have some odds and ends to do), and I've been doing pretty well on Week 2 (but have a few things to put away/do this weekend).  I'm glad you are spacing these out.  I'm right w/ you and if you were doing them faster I'd be totally overwhelmed.

Okay, laughter is a good one - one I enjoy, so doing this more often is definitely fun.

Laughter is the best medicine.  Debbie and I find ourselves making fun of each other and everything else having fun is a big deal for us.

Winston -  There are a lot more to do, since I named it up front 25 ways.. wow, now I have 20 more to go!

Michele – Awesome!! My office is good, it is my house  I’m still working on.. seems to be a never ending project!

Sharon -  I have to remind myself as well. It is a great thing to do though!

Bob – me too.. and it is such a simple thing.

Debbie – LOL.. I wish I could be one of those people that finds it easy to organize and declutter, but it is a process… and we will get it done one day, right? J and at least we can do the laughter one easy enough and that is a week we won’t get behind!

 

John – if you can laugh with someone, it is even better!

Sheila~ I could use a good laugh. Seems these days that I'm on the run, and don't have much time to laugh. Oh I smile from time to time, but letting out a good belly laugh? Doesn't happen often enough!

laughter is very healing.  And it sure beats the heck out of crying.
