We live in an amazing time where there are so many ways to effectively treat sickness and disease. Where our ancestors kind of just had some home remedies and some hope as they toughed out what ailed them, we can go right away to see a physician to get a medication or a procedure that will address our situation. But, boy, that sure can get expensive.

Thankfully, there is one medicine that is absolutely free, and you don’t even have to see a doctor to get it. I’m talking about laughter. The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22, “A joyful heart is good medicine…”

That’s absolutely true. Laughter has many health benefits. Physically, it reduces stress, boosts our immune system, improves heart health, relaxes muscles, promotes sleep, and even relieves pain. Emotionally, laughter reduces anxiety, enhances your mood, increases resilience, shifts perspective, and breaks negative thought cycles. Socially, it strengthens relationships and improves communication.

Somebody once wrote…

So, go do yourself a favor and find a reason to laugh.

Change begins in you!
