Did you know that a good belly laugh dumps enough endorphins into your system to enable you to have greater clarity of thought, raise your immune response, and increase your creativity tenfold? Norman Cousins’ wonderful book, The Healing Force: How laughter, love and positive thinking can save your life, poignantly describes his successful battle against cancer and the major role that laughter played. In the book he shares his strategy to deliberately bring laughter into his day—every day. Laughter truly is the elixir of life and my guess is that none of us really get enough. C’mon—how many belly laughs have you had today? This week? This month?
