Laughing Out Loudly

Hello world!

I hope life is treating you well :)

Today, I would like to share with you my thoughts about laughing, laughing out loud! A friend of mine, PJ, is giggling half of the day and she inspired me to write this post! :)

How many times a day do you smile? How many times do you realy laugh?

Did you know that laughter reduces the stress hormones and increases the number of antibody-producing cells? Are you aware that laughter is contagious and by bringing more laughter in your life, you, also, improve the mood of those around you?

As Milton Brene once said "Laughter is an instant vacation" and it trully is! When we laugh, we don't think about any problems, any difficulties! When we are rolling in the aisles, we just enjoy the moment; we feel stress no more, we are happy! 

For me the best laugh is the one that comes from the heart! It leaves you in a state of euphoria, like you have just meditated! This type of laugh is easily observed in little children, who are giggling with almost everything they see! : ) : ) Well, I guess we should learn from those little angels and invite some laughter in our life!

I can hear some of you say that it is not easy, as we can't really schedule funny moments.. well, that argument has got a certain point of truth, BUT what is funny? Who judges what is funny and what is not? US! : ) Have you notice that there are people who joke even when they pass difficulties? (and I don't mean those who don't understand the seriousness of a situation!) Well, these are the positive ones, who will not let the situations put them down. They may lost a battle or two (or three! :P) but they don't give up, they make a joke for their situation and go ahead! 

So, why don't you try as well? Start first by smiling, but not just stay there. LAUGH! Laugh out loud, show your teeth! :D Enjoy the moments, all of them! =)

For conclusion, I found a greek song with the title "you laugh more loudly".

The band is called Locomondo and both the lyrics and music is written by Markos Koumaris. I have included the translation lyrics after the youtube video.

Have a great October everybody! 

LAUGH your HEART out! : ))))

you have eyes that everyone knows are not at fault
(eyes) that have stopped crying from the pain
(eyes) that don't care about what the others have to say
you have the eyes that speak for themselves

you have eyes that didn't have time to play
because they were thought to endure
you have left for the others knowledge of volumes
while they loaded other weights on your shoulders

and still you laugh more loudly than the spoiled ones
and still you step more stable than the educated ones
and if these songs were not written about you
you sang them more authentically than anyone else

there are celebrations that do not unite but separate
and the gun shots scare the little girls
some thoughts frighten us and others make us dizzy
but whoever once understood  they know

and still you laugh more loudly than the spoiled
and still you step more stable than the educated
and if these songs were not written about you
you sang them more authentically than anyone

i would like you to see your face
how it calms shortly after you fall asleep
when the worries of life don't overly change it
I would like you to see your face

and still you laugh more loudly than the spoiled
and still you step more stable than the educated
and if these songs were not written about you
you sang them more authentically than anyone
