Laughter is
one thing that is common among all people. Celebrate the joy of laughter on
National Belly Laugh Day (today, January 24th). The purpose of this
day is to remind people about the many benefits of laughter, and to encourage
laughter in the lives of others.
Are you
ready to engage in laughter? Here are 3 ways to celebrate Belly Laugh Day.
1. Watch a funny movie
2. Tweet something funny and use the
hashtag #BellyLaughDay
3. Engage in laughter therapy – call a
few friends and reminisce on a fun time together.
Here are 3
fun facts about laughter that I just learned.
1. “Most laughter is not about humor, it’s
about relationships with people. We are 30 times more likely to laugh in a
social situation than when we are alone (without the presence of TV, books,
etc.).”
2. “Laughter usually follows comments in
conversations rather than intentional jokes.”
3. “Laughter tends to occur in short bursts
of vowel-like sounds such as “ha-ha,” “ho-ho,” or “he-he,” which are repeated
every fifth of a second.”

When you’re
feeling blue, laughter can lift your spirits. Think of a time when you had a
good laugh. Replay that scene in your mind, what was happening, who was there?
Is there something funny that your kids have done or your pet?
My kids have
provided me with many occasions to part my lips to sigh, scream, and laugh. There
was an occasion when my son was about 5 years old, he burst into the bathroom
just as I stepped out of the shower. I screamed and he ran out laughing and I
heard him tell his brother, “I saw mommy’s bra hanging down.”
It was not
mommy’s bra hanging down. I’ll tell more about this in an upcoming Comedy
Showcase (Zoom) on January 31st at 7pm EST. Details forthcoming.
