Laughing 😂

“Hey, hey… how are you doing?

“Hope you are having a great day. So I was doing some research for an article about laughter… and you know what I found out? It makes you feel good. It's true. It releases endorphins which are like this feel good chemical in your body, and it just makes you feel good.

“So I think it's pretty important then to laugh. Like really to take time to laugh. Milton Berle said “laughter is the best medicine.”

Here’s is what wikipedia has to say about laughter: “Laughter is a physical reaction consisting usually of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system. It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli. Laughter can arise from such activities as being tickled, or from humorous stories or thoughts.”

Cool… and that sounds so boring for what laughter really is… fun 🤩

However their definition ignores the most important part, I think. That laughter is scientifically proven to make you feel good. It also reduces the stress hormones, and releases endorphines which are the fun feel good hormones that put you in a good mood. It also makes you feel great and even helps reduce pain and decrease sadness.

So it is really good for your health! It brings people together in ways that trigger positive and healthful changes in the body, physically, mentally and emotionally. It literally helps make changes in the body ‼️

Laughter can help strengthen your immune system, boosts your mood, increase your energy level, reduce or eliminate pain… and one of the biggest benefits —> it can protect you from the damaging effects of stress.

Can you think of anything better, faster, free and more reliable to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.

Laughing makes you feel lighter, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger, stress, repressed feelings and emotions and even forgive sooner.

So yes, to quote Milton Berle again: “Laughter is the best medicine”.

Here’s a littel clip from the intro to my comedy book The Ridiculous Adventures of Serbinand ⬇️

A bit about Me:

I currently live in the Muskoka Lakes region of Ontario, Canada together with my wife Mindy Blackstien and our newly adopted cat, Oracle Spirit Spirit, or “Aura” for short.

My first passion is writing and I began The Ridiculous Adventures of Serbinand in my teens after being inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fawlty Towers and Monty Python.

My second passion is to make a difference in the world. In 1990, I took the initiative to start Canada's first environmental magazine, Recover. Its tagline was Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.

In 1997, Mindy and I embarked on a journey to help pioneer the natural bodybuilding and fitness model movements. We produced the World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO) & the FAME World Tour, hosting hundreds of events globally, producing top rated television shows, publishing magazines and providing pathways and platforms for wellness enthusiasts around the world to transform into their own visual superhero. By 2008, Mindy and I conceptualized the bodyproud term to convey that beyond strength and appearance, to truly be one's own superhero you must take action to uplevel your personal mental, emotional, functional and spiritual wellness too.

Ever since 2008 I have mentored under experts in all areas of business, empowerment, nutrition, wellness and mental health -- I was even ordained as a Metaphysical Minister -- and developed a gamified initiative to Rethink FIT where people have the ability to access coaching, attend workshops, host retreats, and participate in social media challenges to love better how they think, feel, act, look, function and dream.

Today I enjoy writing, nature, spending time with Mindy and our new cat, giving talks about Serbinand and inspiring the creative process in others. I am still also active as an Ambassador for the RethinkFIT initiative and coach and mentor those who want to empower others.
