Laughter reduces stress.
How many times have your laughed or smiled today? I hear that children under the age of five smile or laugh up to 300 times a day. No kidding. You just have to take a look at the kids. Their joy and smiles / laughter will cheer you up; it's contagious. Conversely, an adult laughs maybe about 15 times a day. Some, not even that. They see only the worst in everything. That is so sad.
Here's a 2:02 minute video that will help you release some of the daily stress. Watch it a second time and you will pick up nuggets that you may have missed out the first time round.
I talk about having fun and using music to release stress in my stress management toolkit. Music, fun, a sense of humor brings on the smiles. Singing in a group helps too. Ever wonder why "kara oke" is so popular? Action item for today: Smile. Be happy. Do what you have to do, even if it means making funny faces at yourself in the mirror. If you want to tap into some laughter exercises, I have some prepared for you too!
