Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body



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.


Laughing with others


Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting. All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds, but sharing laughter and play adds joy, vitality, and resilience. And humor is a powerful and effective way to heal resentments, disagreements, and hurts. Laughter unites people during difficult times.


Using humor and laughter in relationships allows you to:


• Be more spontaneous. Humor gets you out of your head and away from your troubles.


• Let go of defensiveness. Laughter helps you forget judgments, criticisms, and doubts.


• Release inhibitions. Your fear of holding back and holding on are set aside.


• Express your true feelings. Deeply felt emotions are allowed to rise to the surface.
