I often take life seriously. Constantly overthinking, being
stressed for no known reason, and just not letting things go. I love laughing I
just sometimes forget how good it makes me feel. I definitely think God made
laughter to intentionally lift our spirits and connect with others.
Laughing so hard you cry, that is even better. The other day
I actually heard that Tears release some sort of stress chemical in your body.
After I heard that I thought maybe I should cry more often. But laughing and
crying now that is the perfect combination.
I believe God wants us to laugh, to enjoy life, to live in
the presence of others who lift us up. Having people in your life you can
laugh with is truly a gift that we should enjoy.
Life needs to be serious at times but it is finding the
balance between the two that is the key. We can also laugh at ourselves, I know I definitely
need to do that. I really need to grow in having grace for myself and not being
so hard on myself for little mistakes.
I wanted to know what the internet says about Laughter, so
here is what I found: What laughing does for our bodies- It releases stress, it
helps our immune system resist disease, it lowers blood pressure, it improves
our emotional health, It relaxes the body, it protects the heart, it burns
calories, it decreases pain and relaxes muscles.
Maybe Laughter really is the best medicine.
