Can You Really Trust Your Friends?
September 21, 2017
“When I woke up today, the blahs were back again”, a friend told me. “Then, I switched on the TV and a comedy was on. Soon, I was laughing out loud. It made me feel so good!”
Laughter energizes, enables and inspires. It helps you cope, be more creative and eliminate boundaries. It makes hard things easier and lightens life as you feel the weight of responsibility lift from your shoulders and slip away.
Laughter is like internal jogging. It enhances your respiration and circulation, it oxygenates your blood and suppresses stress-related hormones in your brain. Laughter activates your immune system and is a powerful antidote for anxiety and depression.
Fun, play and laughter recharge your batteries. Without this stimulation, you may be prone to negative emotions such as discouragement, despair, anger, resentment and self-pity.
What are you doing to keep your mind and spirit smiling?
I engage in a variety of activities to help lighten my day. Here’s a few that will help release tension, bring you joy and enhance your sense of well-being:
- Watch a funny movie, show or cartoon
- Read a comic or listen to a funny joke
- Watch children romping around a playground or animals dashing about a dog park
- Involve yourself with people who love to laugh and are passionate about life
- Find friends who know how to turn challenges into opportunities
What do you have to lose … except a potentially sad day? The best way to prove that laughter is medicine for your soul is to try it. Laugh and turn your day into the Best… Ever!
My desire for you is to have a life filled with joy. If you or a friend struggle with maintaining a positive outlook, I can help. Contact me now to arrange a half price coaching session, at https://bettyfranklin.com/contact/
