Here are ten reasons you should laugh, every single day. I love making people laugh and sharing laughs with others, so hopefully this article inspires you to do the same. With that said, I’ll start with the obvious ones and work my way down the list. Read below:
1) Have fun!: Whenever we think of laughter, good times, good memories, and good feelings come right to mind. Everyone could always use some more fun in their lives. I personally think you cannot laugh too much, so look for things to laugh at every day and your day will be enjoyable in that moment.
2) Be healthy: It seems the old adage is true: laughter really is the best medicine. Research shows that laughter increases your immune system, burns calories, and gets your heart pumping which in turn gets more oxygen flowing, among many other benefits.
3) Attract Mates: Many people choose friends who have a sense of humor. In fact, most women list a sense of humor as one of the most attractive features of a potential mate.
4) Boost Productivity: Laughter makes you more productive because it gets oxygen rich blood flowing throughout your body and it puts you in a better mindset to tackle challenges throughout the day!
5) Bust Stress: Laughter is proven to reduce levels of the stress hormones cortisol and epinephrine in the body. So if you’re stressed, laugh it off!
6) Look, Stay, and Feel Young: When you laugh, you tone the muscles in your face. The bloodflow also keeps your skin healthy, and you just look more fun and young when you let go and laugh!
7) Fight Depression: This one may seem pretty redundant, but laughter just makes your whole day better. It puts you in a better mood. It makes you sleep better, and people who laugh a lot do not need to rely on anti-depressants.
8) Control Your Blood Pressure: Again, reducing stress hormones reduces blood pressure which keeps you strong and healthy!
9) Feel Amazing: All of the benefits of laughter seem to overlap. Laughter increases “feel-good molecules” called endorphins which give you a sense of euphoria and can alleviate pain in the body.
10) Share: When you share a laugh with someone, there’s no other beautiful feeling like it.
I hope you enjoyed my article on the beauty of laughter. Try to laugh more and your life will improve and be more enjoyable. It has to! Watch some more comedies, watch silly video clips on YouTube, hang out with funny people, and just look to laugh. I hope you found this article helpful.

Do you find it hard to relax? You are not alone. For many relief from financial struggles, work stress, and family problems appears unattainable. Yet, with a few minutes daily practice, one can learn to relax and enjoy life more fully in spite of the daily pressures.
When dealing with stress, too often we seek negative ways of coping which compounds the problems. For example, some may resort to drugs or drinking to temporarily escape the effects of a stressful situation. Others may become reclusive and withdraw from others and any involvement in activities. Overeating, not eating, procrastination, and displays of temper are all strategies that individuals exercise in an attempt to alleviate stress. Continue Reading »

What does it mean to know you? To truly know you is to love yourself. The perception of who you are brings you into an accord with the universe, which leads to a fulfilled and happy life.
Knowing yourself does not mean you intellectually understand everything about yourself. All creation is a mystery to be sought after and you are no exception. To know yourself is to give yourself over to the discovery fearlessly, without reservation allowing for the greatness in you to unfold. Continue Reading »

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we enter 2010, it is obvious that we are ushering in a need for a more well-defined understanding of the ‘Law of Attraction’. Financial problems, family dissent, violent crime, all these things make it difficult for many to perceive and believe in something better. Although they may
desire a prosperous lifestyle, one free from worry, for some it is difficult to envision a life without impoverishment, poor health and problems. It can be difficult to sense the exhilaration one would feel from an experience if one had only known hurt, pain and disappointment. Continue Reading »

“Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face.” ~ Muhammed
Have you taken note to how limited personal contact with other people is becoming? The fast-pace of today’s technological age has everyone in a rush. In daily mundane dealings we constantly talk to machines. Instead of a real live person to greet and aid us with our questions we find ourselves speaking with an automated service. In the office environment we email the person in the cubicle a few feet away rather than taking a minute to walk over, give a friendly greeting and personally hand them a task list.
Developing rapport with others on a personal level is becoming obsolete. Human beings react to one another as strangers. Many people in today’s society, especially in the developed countries, exist without the slightest feel of a human touch or a word of endearment for days or a time. Continue Reading »
