“Laugh my friend, for laughter ignites a fire in the pit of your belly and awakens your being.” – Stella & Blake

Laughter truly is some of the best medicine around. When we laugh at ourselves, with others or at something the universe has laid in our path, it creates room for fun and light heartedness. It can be easy to take life too seriously, but when we make time to smile or say something that might make another chuckle we are making such a pure offering that just feels good for all involved. Carve out space for more laughter and lightness in your everyday.

Being silly is good for you and studies have shown it can actually boost immune function and add years to your life. Not only does it feel great to sprinkle laughter into your regular routine, but there are proven benefits to making laughter a priority. If there are places in your life that you have a tendency to be too serious, see if you can infuse some of that seriousness with a new and lighter perspective. Watch a funny movie. Read the comics. Tell a joke. Find more joy.
