What role does laughter play in your life?
How often do you laugh?
When was the last time you had a good laugh, one that brings a few tears, a deep breath and relaxing sigh at the end?
What can laughter do for you?
What can it do for those around you?

For many, laughter is a part of who you are. It is a value without which you could not feel whole. If that’s true, how could not getting enough of it be affecting you subliminally? Have you ever noticed how laughter is used sometimes as a ‘magic pill’ to soothe the complexities of life and help you move forward in some situations?

Think back to the last time you had a good laugh.
What were you doing?
Who were you with?
What made you laugh?
How did you feel after you stopped laughing?

Life creates obstacles that take up time, thought and energy to resolve. How could laughter help?
Laughter is like exercise for the soul. It can create a meditative release, a kind of break, a feeling of letting go that may open your mind to perhaps a refreshed outlook on a situation at hand, a new perspective or at the very least, a feel good moment.

Think about this - what specifically would stop you from having a laugh a day if you knew it would make you feel a lot better overall?

Studies have shown that laughter boosts the immune system, increases the level of endorphins released in the body much like exercise and lowers blood pressure to name just a few benefits.

There is only one way to find out what a laugh a day can bring. What can you lose?

And, if you want to see how just a simple smile affects others, wear one on your face next time you’re out and about and watch people’s reactions. While you’re at it, notice how it makes you feel too.
