Smiling And Laughter…Take These Medicines Now! Part 1.

The HSR JUMPS OUT OF ITS SEAT QUICKLY, AND WITH HEAVY-HANDED, BRUSQUE, AND ADVERSARIAL FLAIR IN COURT, AND SHOUTS, “I OBJECT, YOUR HONOR, ON THE GROUNDS THAT ALL OF THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED SO FAR COMES FROM A WITNESS WHO HAS NO TEETH, SO THIS SUIT HAS NO MERIT,” because all they really want is to be able to eat syrup-and-butter-soaked waffles in the morning while reading the newspaper about your “party over here, party over there, wanna run your fingers through your hair” smile!

Exploring and enjoying our lives with optimism, inspiration, gratitude, love, laughter, and sincere smiling infuses and strengthens us with many short-term and long-term psychophysiological advantages, including helping us to:

-boost our available energy

-diminish physical pain (except in cases where “it only hurts when I laugh”)

-overcome challenges and conflicts in our lives

-optimize balance in our emotional health and emotional intelligence

-enhance our meaningful relationships

-crowd out anger and anxiety

-note that laughter is made up of gestures and sounds

-practice and benefit from the power of shared laughter

-be more playful and child-like in facing and enjoying life’s fulfilling adventures

-know the importance of counting your blessings

-relax more deeply

-relieve physical tension and distress (less cortisol and other stress hormones circulating in the body)

-laugh, connect and bond more with other people

-realize that we have the power to change our moods

-keep focused and alert

May you have many…sitting on the porch, looking at the palm trees almost musically sway in the wind, reminds me of the time I was totally hypnotized with a psychologist’s 18^th Century pocket watch…would you like to go hunting for a deep-sea monster that no one’s been able to capture on camera, or has lived to tell about it?…if you exercise in your dreams, will you lose any weight? (Yeah, in your dreams!)….smiles!
