I recently researched laughter yoga and my findings were fascinating. Many people all over the world are engaging in taking the time to simply laugh.
Find humor in even the most bleak situation anywhere. It seems callous to think that you could laugh in a bad situation, but laughter can be a great tension reliever. Have you ever witnessed a funny eulogy? when everyone laughs even though it is a sad occasion and welcomes the break?
We have heard the term, laughter is the best medicine. Laughter releases tension, releases endorphins that make us happy and also brings down our blood pressure which contributes to an overall feeling of wellness. Did you know the world has laughter clubs? check it out
Other ways to cultivate humor alone is to watch a funny movie, call a friend you know is funny for a chat, hang out with funny friends, read a joke book look up funny animal videos online, go for a comedy show, or sign up for tik tok – an app which has endless hours of humor.
Search and find your fun and do it often. Even if at first you are reluctant to do it, you will find that once you get into the activity you can cultivate humor anytime. Not many people say that laughter is a wellness tool, but I swear by it for my life. Covid 19 and the recent elections have us Americans feeling bleak and discouraged. Now is a great time to find an online tool to make us smile. Check out this laughter yoga guru who I enjoy very much. As silly as it may feel when you start out – you will eventually cultivate the practice. Good luck – ha ha ha!
