LIFE TOOL: LAUGHTER

First posted: 9/17/12

THIS WORLD AND THIS LIFE NEED ALL THE LAUGHTER WE CAN CRAM INTO THEM
And, who on earth, doesn't like to laugh (poor soul)?

1.  Reader's Digest is always a good place to look for a laugh -- here's what you find when you look for funny stuff.


2.  Have you ever heard of LAUGHTER CLUBS?  It's a form of yoga that has its roots in India.  It's really a great idea, when you think about it.

• A group of people (usually strangers, but not for long), fill a room, force themselves to laugh, until the spectacle becomes so funny that it keeps going on its own.  
• This surely gets the blood flowing, good breathing, belly-tightening, considerable exercise (especially for facial muscles and tear ducts), lots of new friends (what a way to break the ice) -- and lingering chuckles and giggles for days to come -- and eagerness for more, I'm quite sure -- a delightful lifelong hobby (?) [with practice, I'm sure we could become quite good at it -- smiles]
•  Yep, this is a good idea.
• Here's how "laughter clubs" look on YouTube  
• Maybe we could start some laughter clubs around our territory?
• Here's what Google has to say about laughter clubs.

3.  Laughter, In General

• Here's a tiny bit of what YouTube has to offer on the topic of "laughter in general."
• Here's how Wikipedia discusses the topic of "laughter."

4.  Jokes.  You can Google these.  There are so many tastes.  However, you might enjoy Wikipedia's treatment of the topic, along with:

• THE WORLD'S FUNNIEST JOKE (according to Wikipedia)
• LaughLab

5.  Bobby McFerrin suggests, "Don't Worry. Be Happy." (nice YouTube video created by David Borja, illuminating Bobby's big hit song)
