Laughter
is good medicine for the soul
I just love a good laugh, it tingles and
then like a volcano about to erupt the chuckles role out like a thunderous
sound of lightening. Then, after a few more bouts there is a bit of calm before
the next cycle begins. Isn’t it just beautiful to laugh? It surely does a lot
of good for our health. According to research Laughter
decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting
antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. Laughter triggers the
release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins
promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Now, when was the last time you had a very
good laugh? Not a little chuckle, but a loud and long bout of laughter? These
days’ people get paid a handsome sum of money to make people laugh and
celebrate life. They try so hard and yet with much sorrow I still see people
who pay to attend these shows stifle every bit of laughter in their body in the
bid to maintain a certain posture and demeanour. Are you like that? Has life
become such a burden that you have forgotten to embrace the free gift of laughter? Can you relax and laugh at
life? Laughter will do not only your body a world of good but your soul as
well. Take out time to laugh today. It will do your bogy and soul a lot of good.
Psalm 126:2 “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
