Has anyone asked you, why are you so serious? Everything you say is
on a serious note. You are so hyped up you can’t find the time to laugh. I’m
sure we all have these serious days.
Laughter is good for the soul, “Research has shown that the health
benefits of laughter are far-ranging. While more studies need to be done,
studies so far have shown that laughter can help relieve pain, bring greater
happiness, and even increase immunity” (Scott, 2010).
“Laughter has
always thought to be good medicine, but is there any truth to it? I remember
the film, Patch Adam, where an older man goes to medical school and tries to
put a sense of humor and some laughter in physician training. Before that, in
the 1970s, Norman Cousins, a physician with an autoimmune disease decided that
if stress made his illness worse maybe laughter would make it better. He
watched hours of
comedy TV, got better and wrote “Anatomy of an Illness: A Patient’s
Perspective” (Stibich, 2009).
Comics design shows to tickle you until you
can’t stop laughing. I’m not sure if any of you have heard of George Carlin,
Bernie Mack, Robin Harris, Robin William, Steve Harvey. When I face the day and
times get tough put one of the comics on and what how much laughter will well
up inside of you. Comics bring laughter and laughter is medicine for the soul.
So laugh and keep laughing it is so much fun to laugh.
