Laughter is the best medicine.

“Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.” — Lord Byron

Laughing portrays something that makes everyone around us curious. A curiosity that makes them seek the cause of this action and clearly their demand for inclusion from temporary feelings such as jealousy or fear of exclusion. All such concerns vaporize upon inclusion.

“Laughter is poison to fear.” — George R.R. Martin

Laughter is fun or the state of having fun and makes us feel good. Ageless, transcends boundaries and language barriers, contagious, and an asset that is shared freely with all. While laughing, one’s mind is completely engrossed in that action, all work is halted and workplaces may put a complete ban on laughter as it could be mistaken for disruption. Now, let’s challenge such a rule if imposed on employees by the numerous benefits of laughter, such as,

· Lowers blood pressure

· Reduces stress hormone levels

· Works abs

· Improves cardiac health

· Boosts T-cells

· Trigger the release of endorphins

· Produces a general sense of well-being

A simple thing as laughter beats the well-intentioned wellness plans which not employees participate in. Employers can record the employee time spent on laughing at the ban on laughter to measure the spike in productivity only to replace the ban on laughter by mandatory laughter yoga.

My perfect basketball looking belly can be blamed on a lack of laughter.

Like Friedrich Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” a day without laughter is like living in darkness.

If you are one of those people who laugh hard at the slightest funny thing, one who cannot control the laughter because the laughter lives inside you and you probably can make others laugh too. A talent not too many possess. This skill can be developed just as you learn anything else and best of all there are no copyrights on jokes or funny things. Go ahead share them just like kids do it. Now try it, every day to laugh like a kid at least once just like you did when you were a kid. Remember that funny thing you or someone did when you were so little and everyone around laughed until they hurt. The kind of pain they enjoyed and kept doing it more and more even with increasing pain. Being in that joyful state should be a daily goal. The kind of pain that medicine or doctors have no cure for. As you grow older you may just smile at such reminisces, but take the liberty to laugh to your heart's content.

Like Martin Luther King Jr. said,

It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.”

The source of laughter comes in various forms and much can be read into the person’s personality at the reaction based on the source. These kids that give us our daily dose of much-needed laughter do not know that they are providing us with a wellness prescription. Kids are qualified Doctors of Laughter.

Keep laughing forever.
