Is Laughter good for the soul..?

"Laughter is an instant vacation!" - Milton Berle

When was the last time you laughed? I'm not talking about a chuckle
or a smirk. I'm talking about a good, hard belly laugh. Remember
the last time you laughed until you cried - doesn't just the memory
of that feel good?

Some statistics tell us that children laugh 300 times a day, adults
only 15. Others say children laugh 146 times a day and adults 4.
Whatever the actual numbers are, it's clear that we, as adults, are
not having much fun! And I'm willing to bet that many adults aren't
making the statistical average these days - even as low as it is -
especially if they listen to the news and get caught up in negative
conversations, of which there are plenty to be had if you succumb.

Laughter is good for the soul and the body. Science tells us that
laughing has many health benefits, among them the release of
endorphins and decreased blood pressure and stress hormones (70% of
diseases are stress-related).

But laughing is not something you should do because it's good for
you - it's something you should do because it feels good.
Actually, it feels great and it provides an instant connection to
the Flow. We know that life in itself can be quite serious at times,
but recognize that we want you to be light
about your life - don't take it so seriously. You can almost always
find humor in a situation if you look for it.

What makes you laugh? Rent it, watch it, read it. Who makes you
laugh? Call him, meet her for lunch, play with your kids or your
pets. Lighten up - feeling better is just a belly laugh away!

I work on a day to day basis with children that suffer with autism
and one of the great benefits of this is the fun and laughter that we share
when making work fun and enjoyable for them to learn.
The great thing about working with children is that they
learn easier and quicker when they are having fun.
