Laughter may not solve all of life's problems, but it can certainly make them easier to bear. When we laugh, our bodies release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Studies have shown that laughing can reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and even boost the immune system.
Laughter also has a spiritual dimension. When we laugh, we tap into the joy that comes from knowing God and experiencing His presence in our lives.
So, when you feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, take a moment to find something to laugh about, watch a funny movie or comedy. Read a humorous book or spend time with friends who make you laugh.
