The thing is, we don't have to stay serious. In fact, if we bring a little laughter into the situation, sometimes it can help lift our mood, elevate our spirits, and give us some added energy for dealing with the situation.
I'm not talking about laughing where you disconnect and numb necessarily, although sometimes that is helpful for the moment. I'm talking about laughter that gets you to the core and connects to the core of your being. The laughter that comes from deep within your belly.
See how deep laughter feels....
Laughter can release all kinds of great feel good chemicals into your body. All you have to do is have a night of deep laughter and see how that feels in you. It will be like your floating on air and enjoying life. Laughter can move a lot of tension and stress out of the mind and body. Laughter can help us see those horrible moments in a new light. Laughter is often better than any pill you can ever take.
The one thing I don't do with laughter is use it to make fun of other people. I respect people and I find the laughter in the small things of the day. In my view, there is far too much that we claim is comedy and it is anything but that. Have fun with laughter, but don't do it at the expense of someone else or some group.
I know it may be tough to laugh if you're in the middle of the horrible stuff of healing. There have been times, laughter was anything but what I wanted to do while healing. However, the times that I could bring out the laughter, the easier it made my life. After all, fun: it does a body good. If you don't believe me, try it and see what it does for you.
Go ahead - laugh...
