Laugh to Live a Longer and Healthier Life

Did you ever notice that people who enjoy life seem to look younger and more vital then someone who stresses over everything? Would you like to know the secret to living a more fulfilled life with more energy? Of course you do but it is no secret at all, in fact, I am sure that you do it everyday. At least I hope you do. The secret is to laugh. That’s right, just by laughing on a regular basis, you will receive benefits in your physical health, mental health along with your social health.

1. Physical Health: Laughing will decrease your stress hormones and increase your immune cells and natural anti-bodies that will help you stay healthy and keep sickness away. It also increases your blood flow which helps protect you against cardiac disease and heart issues. Laughing also releases endorphins which has been know as the body’s feel good chemicals. When the endorphins are released, it even has the power to give you a temporary relief of pain. All of this just from laughing.

2. Mental Health: First of all, laughing will give you joy and add zest to your. Who wouldn’t want that? It will ease anxiety and fear, relieve the stress that you my be dealing with and put you in a good mood. When you are in a good mood, you are more confident which will bring you greater results in your life. We could also say that laughing is a form of meditation. When you are laughing, nothing else in your world matters except what caused you to laugh. That is an escape from reality with intense focus on one thing; that is meditation.

Below are some things you could do on a daily basis to bring laughter into your life. Make it your goal to laugh more throughout the day. Not only to laugh, but to laugh uncontrollably at least once a day. Having the opportunity to work with the EMC team is one big laugh fest. We go buy the motto, work hard and play hard. We get a lot of work done in our day, but there is a constant hum of laughter as well. In turn, we get more accomplished because we are enjoying ourselves.

• Smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter. Like laughter, it’s contagious. Pioneers in “laugh therapy,” find it’s possible to laugh without even experiencing a funny event. The same holds for smiling. When you look at someone or see something even mildly pleasing, practice smiling.

• Count your blessings. Literally make a list. The simple act of considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter. When in a state of sadness, we have further to travel to get to humor and laughter.

Enjoy life and laugh till you drop!
