Laughter is universal and a common bond for all individuals. Comediag'
Victor Borge feels that "laughter is the shortest distance between two
people."
Laughter relaxes our muscles, triggers the release of endorphins and
increases the production of 'f'-ells. This increases the immune system,
which will keep us healther by fighting off illness. Just smiling improves
our arnood. It changes the involuntary nervous system [i.e. heart rate, skin
temperature and electrical resistance] and you start feeling what your
face is expressing.
Laughter is a great tension releaser Relaxing or relieving tension can help
us diminish the pain we may be feeling. Joel Goodman, director of the
Humor Project, states, "We need to remember that stress is not an event
but a perception of the event. Stress can distort our perception, alter our
attitudes, and cloud our approach to difficult situations." Weinsteen
suggests we approach stress as an indicator that we "need to slog down,
take it easy, realize that [thee situation] is not that serious and we should
not upset ourselves.' We should focus on what is correct about the
situation before what is incorrect.
Laughter benefits our well-being both physically and emotionally. Here are
some ways to increase the humor in our lives.
Start a humor album; jot down humorous situations, collect funny comic
or jokes. Send one to others [maybe they will reciprocate].
Mix with those who laugh.
Play with a. child for 1 hour.

Keep humor books of favorite authors handy.
Take in a funny= movie.
Check out a video or cassette tape from the library.
