Why We All Need To Laugh More

“The most thoroughly wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed.” ~ Chamfort

~  Dr. Seuss

“Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused.”~ Unknown

With our lives full of deadlines and responsibilities, it’s important to take time out of our busy, stressful days to see the lighter side of life. Taking time with our friends, partners, children, or even pets to play and laugh is just as important as getting that jog in before dark or that load of laundry in before bed. Below I break down 5 reasons why we all need to take the time to laugh more:

1) It makes you feel good – Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

2) It relieves stress – Laughter relaxes the

“And Now For The Good News…” Ode Magazine

LTI Recommends: www.odemagazine.com

The first time I came across this magazine it’s cover had a close-up of a beautiful face broken out in laughter. As it turned out, the whole magazine was about laughter. Why it is good for us, how it affects our bodies, how we can do more of it. Did you know there’s even something called laughter yoga? I didn’t before I found Ode Magazine. That is the great thing about Ode Magazine. They tell you the good news, they highlight the positive trends, they expose the movements going on in the world that will bring positive change. As their tag line suggests, the magazine is geared towards the “intelligent optimist” who is looking for a little good news among all the bad, and what’s more is that Ode Magazine delivers on it’s promise. Below I break down how:
