Welcome to Day 16 of the Allegria Challenge!
Todays simple way to create more joy and meaning in your life is through laughter! :-)
Laughing is a mechanism we all share as human beings. It is a language in and of itself. And though there are thousands of languages on this planet, we all understand and speak laughter the same way. It connects us in joy and to each other, and it even creates a physiological shift in our body when we laugh. When you can laugh at your self..ha!..that is the best! You have the ability to change a potentially upsetting or embarrassing experience into one that is lighter and more positive by finding the humor in it. Last week I took my car into a drive through car wash. I'm sitting there on my phone checking messages waiting for the car wash to do it's thing, when all of a sudden water came pouring in on my head, all over my clothes, drenching me. Apparently I had not closed my sunroof all the way..aagghh! I started to get upset, and then stopped and realized the total hilarity of it all! I busted out laughing...and laughed again when I sloshed into my house and saw my boys faces looking at my sorry soaking self! It made for a very funny experience.
So today, I just invite you to let loose and laugh, make someone else laugh, or find the humor in the next upsetting or embarrassing situation and laugh at yourself!
