“Nothing is worth more than laughter.- Frida Kahlo.

“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.”– Frida Kahlo.

Laughter is the best medicine some claim. Is this true?

Does laughter improve your health?

Yes it does. Humor is the strength that lightens the burdens we all carry. How does laughter give us this strength?

It helps us to release anger, gives us the ability to forgive quickly and the reward is, the reduction of pains that in turn, protects us from the destructiveness of stress.

It’s almost practically impossible to go through the daily grind of life without facing life’s problems. At every turn and twist, we meet problems in our careers and relationships. These problems affect both our emotional and physical health.

Most of us, forget to use the strength that laughter offers us to overcome these problems, grow our careers, strengthen relationships and improve our health.

Experts claim a good hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress and leaves the muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

How does laughter do this?

Experts say that laughter increase infection-fighting antibodies and improve hormones which erect resistant walls against disease invasion.

Laughter does more. Laughter opens the door and releases endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which relieve pain temporarily and improve the total sense of well-being.

So, laughter improves your mental health and it improves your relationships with others. It improves your mood and makes your attractive to others. If laughter eases tension, gives you joy, makes you feel good and attracts great people to you, why don’t you learn to laugh more?

Laugh more and be filled with the illuminating ability to light up your path and the path of others. Problems will never end, as long as you are alive, but laughter can give you the strength to laugh at your problems and have a great happy life.

Why is it important to trust each other?

We lose more by having the habit of not trusting until we have a reason than by choosing to trust first before a reason not to trust any more shows up. Choosing the latter, yes, would lead to unpleasant consequences when those you trust for no reason disappoints. But at least, it would leave the doors to the heart on both ends open, until the heart finds someone trustworthy enough to keep. On the contrary, choosing not trust at all until you have a reason to trust is sure going to make you suspicious of everyone you meet at the first time. The suspicion could also, lay the foundation to stereotype those who don’t fit into the culture of those you call, “mind”. Suspicion and stereotyping have caused a lot of people to lose opportunities to make great friends and find great team mates to complete them and help them realize their dreams.
