NikithaMy best friend left the company today. I will miss the friend with whom I can laugh hysterically. I am going to miss that laughter. Are you also missing that friend who makes you laugh?
I don’t want to write about the benefits of laughter. Because you already know the endless list of benefits it has. But there are a few benefits which I have experienced and I need laughter to be my best.
Increases my productivity:
On dull days, just a few minutes of laughter can make me finish the work which takes 3 hours in an hour.
Increases my creativity:
When I am happy, I get the ideas which I never got before. I wonder how my creativity levels have increased.
Cheers up other people:
People who sit around me say that my happiness is contagious. If I am happy, they feel inspired from me and stay happy too.
How can you get your daily dose of laughter?
Comic strips:
Reading Calvin and Hobbes makes my day. It might be dilbert for you. If you don’t read anything, you can start with something today. Once one of friends ordered a Calvin and Hobbes book. She said that was the best investment she made on herself.
Videos / Movies:
A few months ago, I was watching a part of movie everyday. I used to laugh really hard at the comedy scenes in the movie. I used to skip the sad parts and just watch the scenes which make me laugh. Happiness was so easy to get.
Even though I hate whatsapp forwards, a few pictures and videos make me laugh a lot.
Hasya asana:
It is a yoga pose where you have to laugh. It sounds weird and might be tough if you have to start at your home. I learned this when I went to yoga class. I found it very difficult to do. But when everyone else laughs, you also learn to do it. And this is a real stress buster. Who does not want to start the day with a good amount of laughter?
Friends:
This is a tough one. But if you can, try to make a few friends you can laugh with. During my commute, there is a group of friends who laugh everyday throughout the journey. That is amazing. I also have and had friends with whom I can laugh that way. It was a blessing for me. But you can find a friend too with whom you can laugh.
