Laughter

Laughter is the best medicine!

This time-honored phrase dates back to biblical times, but it’s as applicable today as ever!

Laughter is healing! It can drive stress away, relax your whole body, release endorphins, increase your heart-health and some say it may even help you live longer!

Laughter has many physical and mental benefits.

Because laughter is the great equalizer;

It brings people together;

It simply feels good to laugh.

Studies show that people who use humor and laughter to cope with stress have better immune systems. While there are other ways to help you stay healthy, humor is one of the easiest and most enjoyable.

Laughter can increase your 'face-value'! Just 10-minutes of laughter equals the benefit of 2 hours sleep! Someone said laughing for 15-seconds adds 2 days to your life span, and one good belly laugh burns off 3 1/2 calories. So if you find me sitting in my La-Z-boy rocker laughing, you'll know I'm just trying to lose a few pounds and live longer!

Fortune 500 companies such as IBM, AT&T, GE, and many others have adopted ‘humor’ into their workplaces, as a tool to increase morale and improve the bottom line.

Laughing with friends and acquaintances is an unequaled connection, which builds friendships. And when you're my age, there is nothing more enjoyable than sitting around with your old buddies sharing memories and enjoying many laughs.

Businesses are built on relationships and humor can be one of the main ingredients in helping to cultivate and nurture those relationships. Laughter is one of the oldest tactics in the book and is something we’ve used from the time we were kids.

When I started my sales career, I quickly learned that building relationships was a priority.

Humor and laughter made it easier to build that bond.

Sharing humor with a prospect may cause them to become more comfortable with you and your company.

If you can make a prospect laugh, they may be more open to buying from you.

Take your work seriously. Take your clients seriously. But don’t take yourself too seriously!

Nothing's funnier to me than laughing at myself.  -Dr Phil

YOU DON'T STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE YOU GROW OLDER.

YOU GROW OLDER BECAUSE YOU STOP LAUGHING!

It may be 'fake news', but I heard, "It’s wrong to suppress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
