Do you recall the last time you had a good laugh? A funny joke, a good time out with friends, a hilarious ad, or perhaps watching a comedy?
… or maybe, you watched a really funny video of someone on the metro spreading his laughter:
… or even, you saw a monk demonstrating laughter yoga that cracked you up:
If you just watched those videos – or recall that time you were really laughing – I’m sure it was a pretty good vibe. You momentarily dropped trying to accomplish, your doubts, your current worries (which may be flooding back in at the mention of them!) and just relaxed in the moment. I’m sure you know how helpful it is to just feel good.
I save cute videos from youtube (and my favorite movies) and often in the morning pick out a few of them (e.g. “Who’s on first” in kinetic typography is a riot!) and just enjoy!
The next time you see something cute, or just because you feel like it, take a moment and laugh a little. If you’re feeling really good, do it out loud in a public place – just hold on for a minute or two, and I’m sure you’ll have people joining you!
What do you feel?
