The Cure for What Ails You

 

Ever notice how a good laugh shifts almost any mood?

Some days it is the ONLY thing that works.

“If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane.” – Robert Frost

Think about those moments when you really do feel crazy. Laughter releases the pressure and returns you to a more resourceful state.

“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.” – Charles Dickens

Similar to yawning, it’s really hard to watch someone laughing and not feel the urge to join in.

It feels so damn good. Stop resisting!

Let yourself laugh, out loud and more often!

 

“Laughter is the language of the soul.” – Pablo Neruda

The first time I attended a silent retreat I caught myself laughing as I walked through the woods on my own. It bubbled up from within and echoed through the trees.

Best. Feeling. Ever.

 

“Life is really a great cosmic laughter.” – Osho

Listen, the joke is often on you, so why not laugh about it? It will more than likely be funny in a few years.

Why wait?

Laugh more now.

“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” – Charlie Chaplin

Life. IS. Funny.

Stop wasting your precious time worrying and stressing. Open yourself up to a big ol’ belly laugh.

Look for opportunities to laugh.

They’re everywhere when you pay attention.
