Let’s Laugh – It Is Great For The Soul!

Lately, life has been very much like the movie ground-hog day, to the extent that sometimes I don’t even know what day it is, as weekdays roll into weekends, but that could also be associated with age.

So, over the weekend I decided that I would relax and watch as much comedy as I could, because I needed a laugh. I couldn’t have made a better decision.

There is absolutely nothing like a good old belly-laugh to make you feel better, even during COVID-19.

Now I know that the science is right behind this and that behavioural scientists have been saying this for years, but the fact is that we just don’t laugh enough.

It is amazing how things just seem to lift when we are laughing.

In my programs I often say that miserable people need a good old positive enema, which in itself makes me laugh, but I think we all do at times, especially now.

The power of laughter is immense and if we just replaced our worry and chaos with a little bit of laughter each day, then we would see an amazing change in our attitudes and behaviours.

So, my challenge to everyone this week is to find something or someone that you know will make you laugh and slot them into your weekly plan – you will be amazed how much better you feel.

I know that sometimes we just don’t don’t feel like laughing or being happy – well, that’s the best time to seek it out.

So, this is my gift to you this week – a good old positive enema. (just don’t think about that too much).

Happy laughing!
