Laughing helps to release stress, anxiety and sickness. It promotes happiness.
What is happiness
Dictionaries define what is happiness as an emotion or mental state of complete well-being. A feeling of contentment and immense joy with the moment, with what we are doing, with your environment and the people around us. What is happiness? Something everyone wants and that money cannot buy. But its much more than that, in terms of a spiritual definition.
What is Happiness? It is a state of being when we are at peace with who we are. Sadness (at the opposite spectrum of happiness) is how we judge/perceive ourself in comparison with everyone else or with societies expectation of us.
Happiness is being reborn as a child again, being innocent and living in the moment.
Not being happy takes a lot of work, a lot of training to compare and to judge. To not like, to follow rules to follow conditioning. As we grow we poison our minds with so much negativity from society and other so-called adults, that we forget what its like to be child-like. We force ourselves to be grown-ups and behave like we should. But many of us cannot do that, it’s too much to handle so we become miserable and even go into depression.
Do something that will make you laugh, really laugh out. Perhaps watch one of your favourite comedies or think of a past fun/happy moment. While you are laughing, try to observe your thoughts (this will be difficult as normally when we really laugh, our mind is empty; no thought at all).
Now, think of something bad which caused you much pain. Can you feel the anger within, can you observe the judgemental mind?
Okay, now you know the secret to happiness; laughter 😆 The state laughter brings is to be present just in the moment, no mind dribble. Sadness comes when we follow the mind and are lost in our troubles, in our judgements. Sure laughter by itself is not that great, but even faking it then spontaneously bursting out (especially in a group) works miracles because during that short period, the mind has no control over you.
Regardless of what difficulty we may be in, it will pass. Perhaps in one day, or in one month; but in will pass. So why not just be happy and forget our issues? Even if we have trouble, thinking about it doesn’t make them go away. Being happy also doesn’t make them go away, but it does allow us to be more aware of solutions as they come into life. Positivity will attract positivity and make the universe find a perfect solution for you.
