Do stop taking yourself so seriously. Engage in activities that make you laugh, be around people that make you laugh, find the humour in things, because laughter has been shown to increase your immune function and disease resistance. Research shows that laughter may be beneficial to health. Laughing appears to stimulate digestion, ease stress, reduce muscle tension,lower blood pressure and boost blood flow; researchers have found that it may even reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
One study indicated that people who responded to stress by seeing the humour of the bright side in the situation had higher blood levels of immunoglobulin A (a key antibody) then their gloomier counterparts.
While painful emotions such as anger and grief can impair health, laughter does the opposite. A real belly laugh increases infection-fighting antibodies amd boosts natural killer-cell activity. Even looking forward to a good time can enhance immunity. Make sure your weekend is plenty of time for fun.
Even if you grow up in a boring household environment, and laughter was not a common sound, you can still learn to laugh at any stage of life. Begin by setting aside special times or moments and this will eventually seek out humour and laughter. Smiling more often is a great place to start.
Whenever you look at someone or see something even mildly pleasing, practise smiling. Spend time with people who naturally take life lightly, who routinely find ordinary events hysterical. their points of views and their laughter are contagious. Ha ha ha ha ha ha, he he he he he ……
