The other day my daughter’s boyfriend sent me a funny video clip, something he loves to do. Because I was frazzled due to a deadline, I almost didn’t open it. But I did and it changed my day. The clip made me laugh out loud. Laughing changed my attitude and afterwards my day didn’t seem so difficult anymore.
Laughter is a wonderful activity. With children, it seems to come naturally. It’s not so easy with adults. At some point, we get
cautious about our laughter. After all, we are adults and life is something to take seriously. Laughter stops coming as readily as it did when we were kids. Yet, laughter is essential and it needs to be a regular part of our lives.
Think about it. What would happen if laughter was just as important as brushing your teeth, eating, and exercising daily? These are things we do to keep ourselves healthy. Why can’t we use laughter for the same reason?
So, in addition to exercising, eating well (most of the time) and taking my vitamins, I also add a daily dose of laughter to my routine. I think it’s the best preventive medicine I take!
