How to laugh and enjoy your life

This week I decided to re learn how to laugh. It is actually sad that I had reached this point in my life.  But this is part of my commitment to my development.  If you think when we were children we smiled and laughed for the silliest things. Just watch children, they have a natural and contagious laughter.

I come to realize that sometimes I take life too seriously. Then I forget to laugh. It is actually sad that some of us consider take life as something serious forgetting to laugh regularly.

When I used to go to school I used to have laughter attacks and would start laughing at anything and would be tempted to continue for hours, anything was enough to start the laughter. Somehow with the challenges that life gave me I lost that ability. I do not know how fear, worries and anxiety made me become a sort of serious person. I am really sorry that I have missed so much in the last years just because I was more involved with “adult” life.

When I watch my own children I can see they just are free souls that not worry about much. They can cry and laugh almost in a second. They are more in touch with their emotions.  It s a spontaneous laugh and it can go on for a long time.

This week I have started to experiment with my children, to participate, to share their emotions. I have now started laughing with them. We tickle each other and we have fun for about ten minutes. I love feeling connected again with that inner child. In this way I also release all the tension I have in me.

Laughter is a survival mechanism; it really helps to overcome challenges. Humour and laughter increase the wish to live. This of course helps you to continue despite all the challenges life gives you. Try to laugh, even if you fake it, and be aware of how you feel afterwards/ Even a smile will change your mindset.

Laughter has tremendous physical and psychological benefits. Some of them are:

• It reduces stress. Laughter reduces the stress hormones while increasing enhancing hormones like endorphins, the happy hormone
• It provides a good emotional and physical release. You feel lighter afterwards.
• It acts as a pain killer; it reduces the emotional and physical pain you feel by increasing the pain threshold.
• It gives your abdomen a workout. It exercises the diaphragm, the abs and even the shoulders.
• It keeps you younger. Smiling or laughing exercises muscles we do not use otherwise making you feel younger.
• It keeps depression away, It also distracts you from your worries
• It increases your immune system
• It reduces aggression.
• It makes us feel like children again.
• It helps us make connections and therefore improve our social life. Laughing connects people; it breaks the silence and breaks the ice in an uncomfortable situation. I

This is what I have been doing this week, twice a day.  I have set the timer for 5 minutes and started laughing without stopping. I had to fake it at the beginning but then I got myself going. Also my children joined in and we all had a good laugh. It was incredible how light I felt afterwards

Life does not need to be serious. Do you have the courage to try it?

I would love to hear your comments and experiences on this.

Do you laugh often?

When you laugh how do you feel?
