A relaxed attitude lengthens a man’s life. Proverbs 14:30
I have read somewhere that people who laugh live longer. Its even written in the Bible, a relaxed attitude lengthens a man's life.Its an amazing thing its a tension dissolver, an antidote to anxiety says Rick Warren of Purpose driven life. Its free and it does not need prescription. This means that if we want les stress in our lives its just a matter of laughing at the circumstances in our lives.
Theres a local song "Tawanan mo ang Iyong Problema" in Enlish it means laugh at you problems.It may sound wierd to laugh at our problems but sometimes it could help us cope with life.
Even in hospitals,and theres even a movie about laughter.
So today lets laugh and be merry for we shall live longer.LOL
Happy laughing!

Yes, this is true..One time when my daughters migraine was bothering her, we said something to make her laugh and the pain went away...So next time you are down either physically or emotionally, watch a funny movie..

Yes, that is indeed true. It doesn't hurt if we smile or laugh sometimes.. in fact, it is better if we stay happy as much as possible.. it makes the heart grow fonder and life more better no matter.

This is such a nice post Zelly. Yes, laughing does a lot of de stressing. I have felt it time and again. When ever I am kinda down and low a funny movie does instant relief. That's being the reason why so many laughing clubs are mushrooming in every corner. So let's laugh out our hearts. LOL.........

Your topic had caught my interest suddenly that I have made a search for "laughter" in the Internet. I was surprised to find out the many benefits and gain that one could get just by laughing. It does not only help us to relief our stress and tension but also good to our health. With all these helpful stuff I must exercise myself to laugh everyday.

Hi Zelamrq! I completely agree and another quote came to my mind, "Laughter is the best medicine". I am familiar with that local song and it really holds true. I do believe that with laughter, we are able to cope with our problems that have besieged us for the longest time. Tears may wash away our pain and give us some relief but laughter can us lift our spirits.
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

hello faith. Its nice to hear from you again. You said it very dramatic about tears, and you know there are also called tears of laughter, so not all tears are associated with sadness, it could be tears of joy.
have a nice day and take care.

I would love to laugh but I cannot find anything in my life to laugh about. every time that I find myself laughing about something, alot of bad things start happening more frequently for me. Bad things happen to me day in and day out so it is hard for me to find the time to laugh and be happy. I would love to be able to laugh more though.

Im sorry about the events in your life my friend. Thats treu its hard to laugh when thees nothing to luagh about. I suggest you watch movies that are funny or even cartoon. I love watching cartoons coz they could make us laugh and they make us smile. I watched the bee movie and it surely made me smile.

There have been lots of talks about laughing out loud is good for health. It helps release stress and hence helps to prevent stress-related sickness. If only we all can laugh it out with good nature, we will be free from stress. I joined a laughing session once and found it difficult to laugh unlike so many others who can do it with ease.

Laughter could also help specially on the kind of work yhat I have that almost everyday I talk with irate and demanding subscribers. It helps coz instead of reacting negatively I just laugh at them and it does bother me.
