I'm On A Crusade to Humorize the Entire World
Sound like a huge undertaking?
Maybe, but why not think BIG?
WHY MY CRUSADE???
Because the world needs humor and laughter in a BIG WAY!!
* Stress is making us ill and even killing us
* We're living in an age of Rage
* Violence continues to hurt and divide us
* We can't get along with one another at home, at work and even at play.
* We live in fear of so many things and we worry constantly about things that will never happen
* Huge numbers of us are on antidepressants and tranquilizers.
( 28 million Americans are on antidepressants)
* We have lost the joy of living
OK, but what can Humor and laughter do?
Glad you asked...
1. They cut stress in half by reducing cortisol
( The stress hormone)
2. Lower blood pressure
3. Increase your energy
4. Promote happiness and joy
5. Stimulate the immune system
6. Promote healing (physical and emotional)
7. Positive humor fosters a positive attitude
8. Promote social flexibility
9. Increase endorphins ( feel good chemicals)
10. Humor has been called SOCIAL GLUE because it bonds us to one another and reduces social conflict.
It is the most overlooked and underprescribed therapy going
AND THE MOST INEXPENSIVE
What can You Do??
1. Commit yourself to joy and laughter. We become what we focus on.
2. Become a humor hound. Carry a notebook and a pen with you and record the funny things your see and experience.
3. Learn to laugh at yourself.
4. Collect cartoons and short humor and put them on your fridge door.
5. Practise humor therapy each day and reap the fantastic health and social benefits.
6. Follow my blog .
