How to Get Happiness with Laughter

Laughter, Sense of Humor and Holidays

How to Get Happiness with Laughter
Many of us tend to associate holidays and traveling with having a good time. We also tend to associate having a good time with laughter and a good sense of humor.

However, laughter and sense of humor are very different.

Difference Between Laughter and Sense of Humor
Sense of humor is an intellectual process, whereas laughter is a physiological process.

We need our sense of humor to interpret something as being funny in order for us to laugh. But, if our sense of humor does not perceive anything in our environment as being funny, we do not laugh.

However, laughter does not need a reason to exist. We can laugh out loud anytime, anywhere, practically under any circumstance.

All we need to do is do it.

Endorphins and Laughter
If your trip or your holidays are not going as wonderfully as you expected them to be, instead of becoming frustrated and stressed you can laugh. Do it uninterruptedly for at least 60 seconds, three times, and you will really feel the difference.

Why? Because laughter is the best mechanism our body has to produce endorphins. Endorphins are very similar to morphine, except endorphins are up to 200 times more potent than morphine. Endorphins kill physical any emotional pain, and they give us a sense of euphoria -this is why people get addicted to morphine.

How to Get Happiness with Laughter
So, if you feel stressed -or you are unhappy for whatever reason- and you really want to change your mood and your perspective, laugh out loud uninterrupted for 60 seconds, three times.

At first, for the first 5-10 seconds, you will feel silly, but if you keep going you will genuinely like it, and the more you do it the more you will want to do it.

Laughter Therapy. Change a Negative Mood into a Positive One
Do not wait for your sense of humor to perceive something funny in your external circumstances. Do not depend solely on your sense of humor to laugh.

Instead laugh at will and you will enjoy your holidays, your work and your life, a lot more. Seriously.
