Somewhere along the way, we started taking life and health so seriously…
The perfect diet.
The perfect workout.
The perfect morning routine.
But what if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health isn’t another thing to add to your to-do list?
What if it’s laughing more?
Laughter quite literally changes your biochemistry. It lowers stress hormones, boosts feel-good chemicals and reminds your nervous system that you’re safe.
And one of the most fascinating things I’ve learned is that children laugh hundreds of times a day, while the average adult laughs only around 15-20 times.
Hundreds!
And then we wonder why life feels heavier.
Maybe this is the ultimate reminder that growing older doesn’t mean becoming more serious. Maybe it means becoming more childlike again.
More playful, silly and more willing to find joy in the little things.
You are also your most magnetic when you’re having fun 🧲 ✨
Not when you’re trying to be perfect.
Not when you’re overthinking every little thing.
Not when you’re forcing, striving or controlling.
When you’re laughing.
When you’re present.
When you’re fully alive.
That’s the energy people and opportunities are drawn to.
Some of my favourite memories in life aren’t the big achievements.
They’re the moments I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
The older I get, the more I realise that joy isn’t something we’re supposed to earn.
It’s something we’re supposed to experience.
So here’s your reminder today:
SMILE…LAUGH 😃😂
Dance in the kitchen.
Be silly with your kids.
Call the friend who makes you cry laughing.
Watch the funny movie.
Smile at the stranger.
Life is too precious to spend all of it trying to improve yourself. Don’t forget to enjoy it too 😉
