Passionate about 

what I do

 

 

After having an amazing weekend of laughing and joy with our daughters, I thought this topic would be one that I can absolutely verify with recent experience. An article I read entitled, " 11 Scientific Benefits of Having a Laugh" by Jordan Rosenfeld has been something I wanted to bring to my reader's attention for a while. Taking time each day to find something that makes you laugh, such as a "joke of the day" or fun routine with your kids or friends has so many benefits that no one should go without. It costs nothing to laugh but it does take a little time. Time that is well spent.

Read below to convince yourself to take the time to laugh every day....as often as possible. I challenge you to make this a daily goal. After 1 week, what would be different? After 1 month, do you feel a little more relaxed or more in control of some decisions? During this upcoming season of Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for a gift we can give ourselves and others.

As always, please pass along this information to someone you feel may benefit from its content.
