Let Yourself Laugh!
5/29/2007

Stephanie M. Djerf
No one ever said that life must always be serious.  Yet we often let ourselves get buried in our work and other obligations, forgetting to have some fun along the way.  Rather than complaining about all of life’s trials and frustrations, try to find a way to laugh about them.  By sometimes switching our view to be more humorous, we gain a more lighthearted perspective and the chance to see an event in a more positive way.

Laughter is proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, strengthen our immune system and even give us stronger abs.  Being able to laugh at ourselves fosters healthy self-esteem and self-acceptance.  All of this improves our social interaction and simply makes us more fun to be around.  Embrace silliness and look for ways to incorporate it into your life. See the humor in the everyday.  Life really can be funny, so why not laugh?
