Just reading your textual laughing made me actually laugh. You are so right about the contagiousness!

Isn’t it funny how contageous laughter can be. If you are just around others who are laughing you can’t help starting to giggle! I love to laugh! And I absolutely agree that it is more therapeutic than most any other supposed happiness inducing substance!

It’s the same with me – in just this week that I’ve started tracking my laughter, my mood has noticeably improved. It’s almost like meditation, but not as hard (but also not as powerful).

Hopefully I will be able to keep up the article production… it’s getting difficult!

Absolutely. The easiest way to laugh is to just laugh, but without a doubt the funnest way is to spend time with a good friend!

I just realized that my daily trips downtown to do errands serve a secondary purpose of visiting friends. When we visit, we amuse each other and laugh. I didn’t know this was fulfilling my need for laughter, but it does… so friend-visiting is a healthy thing to do!

I’m glad! I hope you’ll give it a try once you go home. I’m also secretly hoping my friends and family don’t watch the video, because then it’ll be out in the open: I’m a madman 😉

I know it sounds weird, but I’m trying to make this a part of my daily routine. And, to motivate myself, I’m tracking how many minutes I laugh, and competing against myself to see if I can increase the time. Okay, I just re-read what I wrote, and it does sound weird.

🙂

Especially the video – kudos to you for sharing! Even as I was just reading the article, I felt lighter, like I could just feel a laugh coming on. I’m at work, so I’m not gonna go all out this very second. 😉 But I did let go a good chuckle, and the smile has stuck. On a day where I’m feelin’ unreasonably tired, this was so appreciated. Thanks!!
