Laughter is the best medicine, everyone knows this very well but how many of us actually practice it? I personally feel that very few people follow it. Basically laughing or smiling is all about the feel good quotient, not only for oneself but also for others.
You don’t need a reason to laugh, look at small babies or small children, they can laugh on anything and everything. They never apply logic and reasoning as to whether they should laugh or not, nor do they think what people will think if they laugh for no reason or loudly. Laughter releases all the stress hormones and makes you feel lighter and elevated. If you are down and can't think of a solution for any problem just get up shake yourself, look in the mirror and think of a funny incident that you have experienced, the smile of a baby or any such light occasion, and before you know your lips are touching your ears.
Yes, it is worth the effort to make our life worth living as we are born with the gift of laughter, but it is seriousness that we learn and forget our birth gift. By feeling good and laughing at everything just for the fun of it, we can develop our immune system, increase our intellectual power, strengthen our muscles and get the courage to fight every battle.
So get up wriggle a little and put that million dollar smile on your face and start your day.
