"Don't take yourself too seriously; no one else does! Find reasons to smile and laugh often. Create opportunities to laugh. When others amuse you, laugh with them, not at them. Laugh as often as possible every day." Tamara Gerlach
The best tension reliever is a good laugh, and it's usually free! What's not to like about laughter?
Well, sometimes we just get convinced that our life, our problems, are so serious and important that laughter would be sacriligious.
That's a shame. As our quote says, taking ourselves too seriously just makes us look foolish. How many people that are wrapped up in their own self importance do you want to hang out with?
Yeah, I thought so. I don't want to do that either.
In even better news, science has now shown that laughter is amazingly healing and healthy, too. When we laugh we release a boatload of endorphins in our brain that make us feel good and supports brain health, too.
Being relaxed allows our creativity to flow and we become more productive while we're feeding our mind and body with healthy natural chemicals.
As our quote cautions us, we should remember to laugh with people, not at them. We want everyone to join in the fun, and not be the object of the joke.
That's not hard to do, if we're paying attention. Laughter draws people together, building team spirit and productivity.
So if you're stopped up with seriousness, take a dose of some laughsitive!
All the best
