From Ladies Who Launch
The power of laughing as a catalyst for happy thoughts is not a best kept secret, but if you’re like me, laughter can get lost in day to day pressures.
In his book, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson tells us “not to sweat the small stuff” and then “it’s all small stuff.” The truth is, we can only laugh when we lighten our mindset, stop taking ourselves too seriously and come to terms with the fact that “our work is never done”, “our lists are never complete” and “our problems are never solved.”
If we make room for a lighter way of thinking, we clear the space for a few laughs, allowing humor to surface naturally. If you’re having trouble doing this, try doing the inverse. Here’s how: Just start smiling, then start laughing. Acting “as if” is a great way to open up the possibilities. Experts say that even a fake smile can impact your thoughts positively. I’d like to suggest that we integrate smiling, laughter and humor into our daily lives as much as possible. Perhaps this effort will raise the collective consciousness towards higher levels of well being, resulting in ongoing positive shifts for us all.
