Why laugh at yourself?

Every human being goes through experiences that daze and confuse, and even seem to throw their lives in turmoil. But wait! Your experiences depend on your level of awareness. What you thought was funny at a given moment, stage or age, changes. Why is that? Why are certain cartoons, situations funny and then you get all serious?

When was the last time you reflected on something you said or did and laughed yourself silly?You would notlikely repeat allthings you did in your lifetime. Yet, you can laugh at many of your previous choices, because of what you know about yourself now. Your self-awarenesschanges. Laughter releases tension and gives you amuch widerperspective.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if older people became younger and younger people grew older only because they were maturing? Individuality is what makes you who you are inside. You conjure up reasons for aging, shrinking, growing, expanding, and for other perceptions. You are given repeated opportunitites to fulfill yourself. The ability to laugh is part of it. Not everyone takes opportunities to laugh and relax the mind.

Ask yourself what laughter teaches you about your own life experience.  For one thing, nothing is as bad as you make it out to be at a given moment. As you stand back from stages of your life, you begin to realize laughter is a dependable friend. It enables you to detach fromyour perceived problems and ailmentsin the physical world. It enables you to change or expand your outlook in positive ways. How much have you laughed today?

Hi Liara,
I am laughing as we speak. It is a part of my day - even if I have to laugh at myself. Actually I am doing a post on laugher on Friday.

I think it is essential in everything, the physical and mental benefits are worth it too.

Hope today is finding you laughing too.

Alexys, laughter keeps people feeling young and energized. It is a wonderful thing to realize the power of laughter. This is accessible to everyone. It is positive energy that recharges your batteries. As every human is an energy being, it makes sense to realize ways to recharge, renew and refresh yourself. This helps you balance mind-body-spirit.

Sometimes when things can't get any worse, you have to laugh at the ridiculous. It's all a play of consciousness, and laughter is the best way of keeping it light and in balance.
Thanks for the reminder.

Miruh, each moment is another opportunity to explore the lighter side of this particular physical existence. People are aware of doing multiple things at once, and also unaware of what they do. It can seem easy to forget what is helpful to your evolving soul. Yet, its not, really. Retrain your mindset and shift your energy vibration. Anyone can do this.
