How Do We Laugh

When you can laugh you are in a win/win situation. Everybody wants to be a winner. As we go about our busy days, our pressure can build. Without an outlet this could cause stress hormones to hold back the immune system. We all know about blood pressure and most of the time we associate it with stress.

We need to adopt the "laughter Habit", as the best way to relieve stress. If we can laugh we will be making natural killer cells; and they are a natural immunity for disease destroying antibodies. We are all familiar with the "adrenal glands" term. If we get excited or scared our adrenalin flows faster.

The same applies to laughter. We can make our adrenalin flow by making sure we include laughter in our daily routine. Does it not make sense to be a "laugher" rather than be stressed out? Laughter will keep us younger.

Have you heard of the new miracle drug called laughter? Have you thought of all the helpful things you can use laughter for? Now we all know that you can't avoid stress but we can limit the effect it has on us and our bodies.

Being an optimist and being able to see positive is the first step in fighting stress. Now we add a big dose of laughter to this and we are on the right track. Laughter activates the chemistry of the will to live. It decreases our stress hormones.

Laughter stimulates the brain to enhance learning. It keeps the brain alert therefore we can retain information better. Laughter helps curb the damaging physical effects of stress. Having the ability to laugh at stressful situations could even reduce the risk of heart disease. You must get laughter into your life and use it to overcome your anger and hurt when it occurs. The more laughter you have in your life the less stress you will have.

You may need to actually go on a laughter hunt. Search everything in your life for just a bit of joy. Read funny articles and books, even the comics in the newspaper. You might get a few stares but laugh our loud at a joke you heard. Be reasonable but take every opportunity to lighten up and be silly. Like I said, be reasonable.

Whether you are with family, alone or with friends let go. It will feel good. If you should get caught in an embarrassing or frustrating situation and you think you are about to scream- just laugh. It will completely change the moment. As you can see laughter is something you decide to do on your own. You can be a positive person and always find humor. Laughter is a winning situation.

There are no bad side effects of laughter. Did you know there is a part of your brain that helps you "get the joke"? Everyone has their own laugh. Laughter is such a basic thing that we hardly notice it-that is unless it is a sound that we really like or one that really annoys us. This is a most amusing thought.

Have you walked in the woods and heard all the calls of the creatures and their odd cries? Just think, when you laugh these creatures are hearing sounds that are just as odd and just as characteristic.

Laughter is generic to everyone, it crosses all language barriers, and everyone can laugh if they choose to. It doesn't matter how it sounds or looks like when you do it, as long as it feels good, and you are enjoying yourself, go ahead, just do it, just laugh.
