“Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods.” Japenese Proverb
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase that laughter is the best medicine. When we’re able to laugh at out there scenarios or mistakes from the past, we’re using our sense of humor and able to let incidents roll off of our back. When you laugh, you physically are healing, because you’re releasing endorphins into your body, much like you would with physical exercise, which is always good for your central nervous system and the rest of your body. Just think, some simple laughs during the day can rehabilitate you.

Have you noticed if you’re feeling down, someone can make a simple joke that turns your day around? I notice this about children, which is a great part of why I love working with children so much, they take life so less seriously. Their jobs, how they interact with others is through playful situations. They engage with one hundred percent happiness, and laughter.

I think I live vicariously through these children. I had a difficuy lt childhood and feel as an adult that I was incapable of just being a kid. So, here I am, a big kid now, working with children, being goofy, having fun, and utilizing one true healing power that I have some control over - laughter.

What do you do that helps you laugh, or what makes you laugh when you see other people? I truly believe there is no doubt to how far laughter can take you in the healing process. Try it. Make someone laugh today. Chances are, you’ll be laughing right along with them, and you’ll feel yourself start to glow.
