Rewire Your Brain with Laughter in Tough Times

Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

As humans we are fond of laughing or smiling only when we are in a happy mood which is quite understandable - we don't show these emotions when we are passing through challenges in life. When we are passing through a difficult phase we don't see the need to put on a smile or even laugh about anything because of our present physical, financial or emotional state. Even if we find ourselves in the midst of the best sets of comedians or entertainers we may not be thrilled because we have allowed our challenges to get the better of us.

It is in these difficult times that we are supposed to embrace humor because it may be the key that will unlock all the inspiration that you need to effectively handle the difficult moments. During the period when we are faced with one challenge or the other we treat the issues as if it is a matter of life and death without giving ourselves room to cool off and restrategise as you seem for possible solutions. We forget that laughter is the best form of medicine and that it works magic in reducing stress.

In tough times, we should learn the skill of always having a good laugh. I'd not want anyone to underestimate the impact of laughter in reducing a problem. Most people prefer to stay in isolation when they are experiencing some tough moments in their life instead of socialising with people and probably share these challenges with their mentors, confidants and so on. A problem shared is a problem half solved is a saying that we should bear in mind during challenging moments. Well, be sure that you are sharing your problems with the right persons.

Laughter have the ability to revive and heal a soul that is losing hope and it posses the ability to improve your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Guess what? Laughter does not cost anything. It is absolutely free to use and you can use as many times as you wish. If you juxtapose the rate at which you laugh as a child to the rate you laugh as an adult you'd realise that it has reduced drastically. This is the reason children look more agile and healthy but as adult we have let life challenges take away frequent smiles and laughter from us. The bottomline is that we all need to be like "kids" whenever life shows us the challenging part by embracing humor.

Let's take marriage as an example when couples have a serious misunderstanding that leads to heated disagreements, they may think the issue may not be resolved even if the best counsellor is hired. It may only take an humorous comment about an experience they have shared together to quench the burning furnace in a twinkle of an eye. Well, it may be easier said than done, but it can be very effective when you see the humor in tough moments. Laugh it out instead of going into a pensive mood when it seems like the situation wants to get the better of you.

Always have it at the back of your mind that you can only solve problems when you are less stressed. If you try to find solutions to your challenges when you are stressed you will end up making decisions that will compound the situation and you nay not get the desired solution on the long run. Humor is going to gradually work on your emotions so you should not be bothered when your problems seems not to be getting solutions even after you've embraced humor. Life is not that hard, embrace humor.

Thanks for reading and see you in my next one.
