Laughing

"Laughing does not necessarily mean being carefree, frivolous and
irresponsible. Laughing can actually have a more beneficial
effect on the mind than wearing a serious, reflective expression,
which many think makes them look wise. This is because laughter
has a lively energy that nourishes the brain.
Laughing also helps you to get back on your feet, to bounce
back. It’s true that everyone’s life has events that are no
laughing matter to begin with, and it is normal to be worried and
upset about them initially, but if you get used to seeing the
funny side of certain situations it makes it easier for you not
to become overwhelmed. So, never miss a chance to laugh, for it
is a powerful way of maintaining your equanimity and easing
situations. Just because you have reasons for being upset, sad
and discouraged does not mean you should be willing to remain in
that state. "
