The Importance Of Laughter In People's Lives

By Malcom A. Peake

Laughing is a funny thing. Haha, get it, the irony? Ah, never mind. Not the best of jokes, I take it? But on a more serious note, laughter truly is the best medicine. Not only does it feel good to laugh, but it is also good for the soul. Laughing allows you to release your inhibitions and to really let loose.

Laughter is an occurrence which has manifested itself within human beings since time and speech were first discovered. What is the purpose of laughter though? Doesn't it seem a little bit useless? It does, but the only real explanation is that we laugh because we find something funny or amusing. Other reasons could exist, but humor is the main reason for the existence of laughter. As humans we enjoy humorous things and laughter is the main result of it.

You will find though, that laughter does not have just one purpose. It can also aid with other issues that pop up within our own lives. Laughing is a great way to help with releasing depression, and allowing positive energies to overtake your body. If you are having a horrible day or are feeling less than average then its about time to give yourself a decent laugh to get rid of that horrible stress. Laughing will also help you if you're having a good day. After all, wouldn't it be nice to make a good day even better?

Like I said before, laughing is the greatest medicine that you can get. It may sound utterly corny, but it does have some truth to it. As a matter of fact, laughter has been shown to be an excellent way of relieving stress, and it can even reduce negative emotions.

Whether you choose to accept it as truth or not, laughter has been proven to help with other medical issues. Laughter when performed daily has been shown to aid in strengthening the immune system. Like said before regardless of how you may be feeling, laughter is a great way to lift your spirits.

Laughter will also help you to be more approachable. If you think about it, people are going to like you more and want to be around you more if you appear to have a pleasant personality. You can appear this way by laughing. People will feel more comfortable coming up and talking to you if you laugh a little bit, so give it a try. You'll meet an infinite number of brand new people and you may even become more popular than you could have ever dreamed of. If meeting other people and being popular is of the utmost concern to you, then try laughing because it could make a world of difference.

At this point, we have touched on a few of the reasons of why laughter is important. Be this as it may, understanding the importance of laughter means nothing if you do not indulge in a little laughter. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and beginning laughing! Not only will it be fun (and probably funny), but it will also boost your mood, make you appear friendly and more approachable, and can benefit you in more ways than you could imagine. Give laughing a try. Who knows, you may just have fun.
