Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body
―Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.‖
~ Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.
Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.
Laughter is good for your health
?Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles
relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
?Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and
infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
?Laughter triggers the release of endorphins,the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall
sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
?Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help
protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular
problems.
Developing your sense of humor: Take yourself less seriously
One essential characteristic that helps us laugh is not taking ourselves too seriously. We’ve all known the classic tight-jawed sourpuss who takes everything with deathly seriousness and never laughs at anything. No fun there!
Some events are clearly sad and not occasions for laughter. But most events in life don’t carry an overwhelming sense of either sadness or delight. They fall into the gray zone of ordinary life–giving you the choice to laugh or not.
?Laugh at yourself. Share your embarrassing moments. The best way to take yourself less seriously is to talk about times
when you took yourself too seriously.
?Attempt to laugh at situations rather than bemoan them.
Look for the humor in a bad situation, and uncover the irony and absurdity of life. This will help improve your mood and the mood of those around you.
?Surround yourself with reminders to lighten up. Keep a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a funny poster in your
office. Choose a computer screensaver that makes you laugh.
Frame photos of you and your family or friends having fun.
?Keep things in perspective. Many things in life are beyond your control—particularly the behavior of other people. While
you might think taking the weight of the world on your
shoulders is admirable, in the long run it’s unrealistic,
unproductive, unhealthy, and even egotistical.
?Deal with your stress. Stress is a major impediment to humor and laughter.
?Pay attention to children and emulate them. They are the experts on playing, taking life lightly, and laughing.
Using humor and play to overcome challenges and enhance your life
The ability to laugh, play, and have fun with others not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems, connect with others, and be more creative. People who incorporate humor and play into their daily lives find that it renews them and all of their relationships.
Life brings challenges that can either get the best of you or become playthings for your imagination. When you ―become the problem‖ and take yourself too seriously, it can be hard to think outside the box and find new solutions. But when you play with the problem, you can often transform it into an opportunity for creative learning.
Playing with problems seems to come naturally to children. When they are confused or afraid, they make their problems into a game, giving them a sense of control and an opportunity to experiment with new solutions. Interacting with others in playful ways helps you retain this creative ability.
Here are two examples of people who took everyday problems and turned them around through laughter and play:
Roy, a semi-retired businessman, was excited to finally have time to devote to golf, his favorite sport. But the more he played, the less he enjoyed himself. Although his game had improved dramatically, he got angry with himself over every mistake. Roy wisely realized that his golfing buddies affected his attitude, so he stopped playing with people who took the game too seriously. When he played with friends who focused more on having fun than on their scores, he was less critical of himself. Now golfing was as enjoyable as Roy hoped it would be. He scored better without working harder. And the brighter outlook he was getting from his companions and the game spread to other parts of his life, including his work.
Jane worked at home designing greeting cards, a job she used to love but now felt had become routine. Two little girls who loved to draw and paint lived next door. Eventually, Jane invited the girls in to play with all the art supplies she had. At first, she just watched, but in time she joined in. Laughing, coloring, and playing pretend with the little girls transformed Jane’s life. Not only did playing with them end her loneliness and mild boredom, it sparked her imagination and helped her artwork flourish. Best of all, it rekindled the playfulness and spark in Jane’s relationship with her husband.
As laughter, humor, and play become an integrated part of your life, your creativity will flourish and new discoveries for playing with friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and loved ones will occur to you daily. Humor takes you to a higher place where you can view the world from a more relaxed, positive, creative, joyful, and balanced perspective.
