5 Benefits of Laughter Yoga:

 

13.Good mood and more laughter: Laughter Yoga helps to change your mood within minutes by releasing certain chemicals from your brain cells called endorphins. You will remain cheerful and in a good mood throughout the day and will laugh more than you normally do. It alleviates depression and great tool for mental health and mental wellness.

14.Healthy Exercise to Beat Stress: Laughter Yoga is like an aerobic exercise (cardio workout) which brings more oxygen to the body and brain thereby making one feel more energetic and relaxed.

15.Health Benefits: Laughter Yoga reduces the stress and strengthens the immune system.  You will not fall sick easily and if you have some chronic health conditions, you will heal faster. It is ideally suited for seniors and elderly people and people who have chronic illness like blood pressure, diabetes, risk of heart disease, arthritis etc.

16.Quality of Life: Laughter is a positive energy which helps people to connect with other people quickly and improves relationships. If you laugh more, you will attract many friends.

17.Positive Attitude in Challenging Times: Everyone can laugh when life is good, but how does one laugh when faced with challenges? Laughter helps to create a positive mental state to deal with negative situations and negative people. It gives hope and optimism to cope with difficult times.

 

Our body does not know between simulated and organic laughter. That is fake or natural laughter. Fake it if you must.

 

What if you cannot even fake and have difficulty in making yourself laugh or something is bothering you immensely and coming your way.  Talk to an individual whom you can trust and take into confidence whom you can share your thought process and very importantly someone who will empathize with you or see a therapist, or a psychiatrist can understand your thought process and help you overcome your depression.  Therapeutic Writing is one more way you can help yourself overcome what you are going through.  You can contact me to learn more above Therapeutic Writing.  It is the cheapest affordable and medically approved therapy that one can use.

 

I will be starting an online “Laughing Club” soon by end of January. for 30 minutes, once a week.  This will be a Free Class for people who are genuinely interested in improving their health and maintaining their good health.  Please feel free to share this article with your friends and family.

Please send me an email at joydpenha@rogers.com  with your full name, Country, State, City, telephone number (to be included in the group chat on WhatsApp) More info to follow by end of January with schedule options to those who have sent in your details.

 

Happy Reading and Healthy Beginnings to one and all

 

Keep laughing,

 

Best wishes,

                                               Just like this tree with different colors of leaves our life has different stages of fear that we go through.  Each stage of fear can be overcome by faith and self confidence. D ifferent S tages of F ear A s babies we have absolutely no fear of anything and anyone.   Babies are so innocent that they love and trust anyone who is loving and kind to them.   They do not judge anyone and are not analytical of what is going to happen to them if they behave in a certain way.   As we grow older as a kid we start adopting some kind of fear.   Fear of spiders, insects, creepers, fear of teachers who would shout at kids for certain mischiefs or if the homework is not done, fear of parents for answering back or not listening to them.

For a long time, I couldn't find a subject that felt both simple and meaningful, yet strong enough to resonate with everyday life. Then, I came across a story that struck a chord. It's about a young man holding a steaming cup of coffee.   In one moment, everything changed: someone bumped into him, and the hot coffee splashed all over him and the ground, giving him burns on his hands. A gentleman nearby asked, "How did you get burnt?" The young man replied, "Someone bumped into me, and the hot coffee that I was holding in my cup spilled
