Laughter is the Best Medicine

A good hearty laugh will make us feel good for a long time. That´s why we tell jokes. Laughter is the best medicine in your ordinary day too: with humor you may find a whole new way of looking at your life. Find solutions you might not have thought of before.

Sometimes we take life way too seriously. We have been taught to run through our lives with such a speed we have no time to laugh. When we are able to laugh, we are in touch with life´s goodness. We feel life has a purpose.

If you are down, laughing aloud may seem impossible. You may even look at laughing people and feel they are inconsiderate and loud. But if you are one of the laughing group, you´d never think that. You enjoy laughing too much

A personal tragedy - the loss of someone you love, for example, may cause this. Then you´d better not try to jump right from sadness to joy. You usually can´t. Still many people think they should be able to "snap out" of their blue mood. And when they can´t do it immediately, they feel guilty, maybe even panic. And just you try to laugh then...

Remember you are no machine, you are a living, delicate soul. You have a right not to laugh if you so feel. It is ok. Don't force yourself. Laughter will come when you are ready.
