Comedy and Consiousness
Energetic Cleansing... with LAUGHTER.
As Summer shifts into Fall we find ourselves in another state of transition. Some parents are breathing sighs of relief as the kids go back to school while others are experiencing "empty nest" or end of Summer blues. Keeping small business careers consistent and expansive might be an added struggle this time of year.
The best way to cope? LAUGH.
Is there ever a better way to create balance & harmony than through comedy?
HAPPINESS IS THE NEW PRODUCTIVITY!!
If reaching optimal health and wellness is your goal, it's probably best to skip the grumbling and instead make the conscious choice to add more laughing.
Ten reasons to chuckle your way through the day:
1. Laughter fosters a boosted immune system. Bypass the back-to-school germs and miss those fall sniffles altogether!
2. Laughter contributes to lower blood pressure and cortisol levels. This results in an improvement in body circulation and a reduction in body inflammation.
3. Laughter provides a GREAT distraction from stressful situations. Focused energy on something other than a challenge is the fastest way to make it vanish.
4. Laughter helps you lose weight! (Did you know that 15 minutes of laughter can burn up to 40 calories?)
5. Laughter releases endorphins. Grab that same natural high that runners receive with some laugh-out-loud snorts and guffaws!
6. Laughter makes you likeable! Protect yourself from haters and criticizers-- it's hard to pick on someone who has the giggles. Plus, laughter is "positively" CONTAGIOUS!
7. Laughter is healing and therapeutic.
8. Laughter connects you to others--- even those you may be at odds with. Sharing a joke might be all you need to bury a hatchet or let bygones be bygones.
9. Laughter makes you smarter. Cracking yourself up often leads to a more broadened perspective and the ability to be a better problem solver.
10. Laughter is SEXY. ('nuff said)
