Do you have a healthy lifestyle?
Big question. Is a healthy lifestyle important to you?
Is your answer yes?
- You brush your teeth after every meal (or at least twice a day!).
- You eat well.
- You drink water.
- You wash yourself.
- You sleep 7 hours a night (when everything’s going well!).
- You exercise a few times a week (even if it’s walking, it counts).
- You take some time off.
- You see friends.
- You’re taking a vacation.
- You laugh heartily for several minutes a day.
Did you say YES to all of these? Did you say NO to one or more? Then there’s something seriously missing from your healthy lifestyle. And I’m willing to bet that what’s missing is LAUGHTER!
Am I wrong?
When you know all the benefits of a good, energetic laugh (the kind that makes your belly move and sounds good), you wonder why we don’t allow ourselves to do it assiduously and daily!
Why aren’t we laughing more?
Because we adults are in our heads! And our heads are full of worries, responsibilities, performance ideas and so on. And when the head is full of “serious, important things”, there’s no room for a sense of humor.
That’s why I love laughter yoga so much. Because it allows me to maintain a healthy lifestyle and laugh at will even when my grown-up brain is busy dealing with grown-up problems!!! HAHAHA!
An experience
Would you like to experiment with me?
I suggest you do the exercise in this one-minute video with me. Just one minute of your time.
And let me know if you succeed – but to succeed, you have to WANT to laugh!
Let me know how you feel AFTERwards.
Come on. Just a minute. Here we go!
Laughter, joy and health
Linda
