Laughter Yoga isn't comedy. We are choosing to laugh on purpose, for no reason, as an exercise. But the more we practice laughing, the more we increase our ability to find humor all around us. How much fun is that!
Today's LAFFirmation: I Love Finding Humor in Everything
Breathe in and sigh as you exhale.
Breathe in and smile as you exhale.
Breathe in and and laugh gently as you exhale.
------------------------------
What's a LAFFirmation?
We are choosing to affirm a thought that feels good, breathe, and laugh.
This powerful combination helps us find relief, feel better, and allows more fun things to flow into our lives.
We are choosing to laugh as an exercise for the wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Laughter Yoga is not comedy. It's an exercises and practice.
The body can't distinguish between spontaneous "real" laughter or simulated laughter. Even if we are simulating (or faking) the laughter, we are still getting all of the incredible benefits of laughter. How cool is that!
Be gentle with yourself.
Remember, choosing to laugh is a practice, and one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
