Have you ever heard the old adage”laughter is the best medicine”? Well researchers say that the effects of laughter and exercise are very similar in that they both boost your heart rate. Researcher William Fry even went as far to say that it took ten minutes on a rowing machine for his heart rate to reach the level it would after just one minute of hearty laughter! Which is music to this girls ears because I’m all about finding ways to boost my heart rate that doesn’t involve monotonous exercise. Plus, I mean, who doesn’t like to laugh?!?! It’s one of the top qualities people look for in a mate, and when it comes down to it, one of the few things in this world that we can do completely free of charge without restriction.
It doesn’t matter how particularly hard my day has been, if I can find a way to laugh it immediately change’s my outlook. Don’t believe me? Take a look at a scene from one of my favorite movies “Steel Magnolias”. In the scene Sally Field has just lost her only daughter Shelby, to kidney failure. While totally gut wrenching, what happens next will have you believing that laughter truly is healing…
On this Motivation Monday I urge you to see the humor in your life, stop taking yourself so seriously and really make time to laugh. If you need a little motivation, you’ve come to the right place…
Now that was a whole lot of funny right? Which one literally made you LOL? Do you have any go to movies, songs or meme’s that make you immediately laugh? Let me know in the comments below.
XOXO
