Laughter

I wasn't shocked to read a report that children laugh roughly 300 times a day and an adult only 15 times. When did we adults lose this ablity to find so much to laugh at during a day? Children are the experts when it comes to happiness and have an incredible ablity to explore their world with adventure with little worries. As we get older, we start to lose that innocent ablity to see things through simple eyes and wonder. Not to say , because we don't laugh as much we are unhappy, we just have more things to worry about in a day then we did as a child.

Laughter is good for us..the more we add to our day the more benefits we see in ourselves both phyically and mentally.

How can you add more laughter into you life?

Here are a few ideas

1. Play with your kids, be silly and remember what it is like to be a kid again..blow bubbles, have a water fight, dance, have a tea party, play tag. Kids know how to have fun!
2. Check out the joke of the day or cartoons or comic strips
3. Hang out with fun people who enjoy laughing
4. Go see a comedy or rent a funny movie
4 Just laugh – even if you fake it, eventually you will start to laugh for real because you will sound so silly ..give it a shot..it works..or watch someone else laugh ..you will find yourself laughing at them laughing!
