laughter Is the solution

I know we are all dealing with the changes and challenges of the pandemic in many different ways.  How can you feel good regardless of what’s happening around you?  Laughter; It’s the solution.  I’m not talking about watching or listening to something funny (although those help a great deal), I’m talking about generating yourself to laugh in an instant.  As a clean comedian and laughter yoga instructor, I feel honored to give people the powerful healing benefits of a chuckle, giggle and guffaw.  In my 25 years of performing, teaching and studying comedy, I’ve learned that laughter is a powerful solution to stress, pain, and conflict because it:

• Relaxes your whole body by releasing tension and stress
  
• Boosts your immune system as the infection-fighting cells increase
• Triggers the release of endorphins to feel good and relieve pain
• Counters heart attacks by improving the flow of blood through their veins
• Enhances your mood which deflects depression

 
You can create your own joy, here’s how.  
 
Laughter Yoga

1. Warn the people around you or have them join in.  
2. Go on YouTube and watch a couple videos about “laughter yoga” so you can see how it’s done and so much fun.  
3. Let it out and enjoy!  You only need to do it for 5-10 minutes total.

 
I guarantee you’ll feel energized and in a good mood.  Do this before a big meeting, important event or potential confrontation and watch how the outcome shifts to your liking.  You can do this in the car, the shower, or any other private place to keep others from worrying that you’ve lost it.  Usually, onlookers will start laughing as well because it’s contagious.
 
I look forward to meeting you all as I inspire the area with clean comedy and laughter yoga.
 
Love, Peace & Chicken Grease!
