Does Humor Truly Help?
Humor truly is the best medicine. It can lift you up when the clouds have darkened and left you feeling blue. It can make you feel better when all your other medicines seem to be failing you. It can help you through tough times and can even help you get through those tough times stronger than ever.
It cannot be denied that laughter is the best medicine. It can change you in ways you never thought possible. It can make you more positive and less moody. It can give you hope, courage and can even get you through those tough times faster. It has been used for ages to heal the spirit, mind and body and without it in your life you are like a ship floating aimlessly about the sea.
Sometimes we need a dose of laughter to bring out the best in us. I am not referring to having one great laugh to drown things like frustration or sadness. Some people joke a lot and they are okay. Other times they have a dark side that they hide behind and they can be very difficult to manage. But it is important to have them in your life at all times.
Sometimes, going through hard times, we need to reach deep inside and get to that place where we can laugh at ourselves for a change. When we laugh at our own shortcomings we often find that our spirits lift, our outlook changes and we are able to move forward with more enthusiasm than ever. It is amazing how that simple act of humor can make such a big difference in your life. In fact, there have been many people over the years who have gone on to have successful careers and fulfilled personal goals because they found humor in themselves and made time to enjoy their lives.
There is really no way to explain how important this aspect of human existence is. Humor brings us in touch with our inner child, where we can find solace and laughter and release that old negative energy that we have kept bottled up inside. When we let go of that we feel much better about our situation and can even begin to take positive steps to correct it. We laugh at ourselves when we make a mistake and that brings us closer to forgiving and forgetting. It is so powerful that we can actually forgive ourselves and move on to live our lives in a more fulfilled way.
In addition to this, humor also tends to make us more relaxed, which allows us to become more accepting of others and circumstances in our life. When we are anxious or tense, we tend to get tensed or even angry. We laugh at ourselves when we make a mistake and that allows us to release that tension and get back to a calmer state. If we can laugh at ourselves even when we make mistakes, then we are more likely to forget about those situations that might cause us stress in the future.
Humor is also the best medicine when we are faced with a challenging situation in our personal or professional life. Humor can help to distract us from the task at hand and help us focus on a different aspect of the task at hand. When we are consumed with the task of dealing with a difficult person, family member, or other issue, we can usually lose track of time and end up focusing more on that person rather than the problem at hand. This is why humor is the best medicine and there is no substitute for it. We simply can't get serious about our problems or concerns without some kind of diversion.
Humor is truly the best medicine because it can get us to remove all of those negative feelings and emotions from our system. When we are dealing with a difficult person, then we are dealing with a real human being and we need to respond as such. When we try to force a situation or individual to make us feel better by using humor, we risk alienating that person or subjecting us to more disappointment and pain than we had anticipated. Instead we should take a more patient, methodical approach and use humor to distract us and allow us to think clearly.
