What you need is a good laugh

There is absolutely nothing like a good laugh, especially a good belly laugh. You know the kind; where your whole body shakes, you can't catch your breath, tears rolling down your face, yeah, a good belly laugh. I don't know why people don't laugh but some people seem as if there face would break if they did.

There are proven health benefits from laughter. Laughter has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, is a fun ab workout, improves cardiac health, increases T cells (they protect immunity), triggers release of endorphins (the feel good hormones), and laughter produces a general sense of well-being. So, laughter is good for our health.

Today's word is a simple quote I came across that reminds me not to take life so seriously. It says, "Life is better when you're laughing."

I think we all agree that life is definitely better when you're laughing, though, we all get in that rut from time to time that doesn't allow us to laugh. It is often quite hard to break that funk too. I have had funks last for weeks, which is an absolute shame but is the absolute truth.

We all know that laughter is good. We know that laughter is good for our health and well-being. We know that laughter makes life better. Go ahead - have a good belly laugh. You'll be glad you did.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
