Laughter is good for the soul

Let’s define the soul for clarity, it is your mind, will and emotions. Be careful with your thoughts / how you think and where you reason. It will be where you make your choices. Emotions the place of your feelings.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1 and 4 from The Message Bible talks about an opportune moment for everything on earth, including laughter.

1 There is an opportune moment to get things done, an opportune moment for everything on earth:

4 A time to weep and another to laugh, a time to mourn and another to rejoice,

I have been through a long season of life that has taken my breath away many times. I continue to grow and find purpose, as well as lessons that I needed to learn in order to move forward in my life. It was hitting me a lot at the same time and I found myself losing my joy. Laughter was not evident in my life due to a season of mourning all the loss.

Proverbs 17:22 The Expanded Bible says that “A happy heart is good medicine and a happy mind is healthy, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”

I had to find joy and laughter despite everything I was growing up for. My disposition is to encourage and encourage others. I had to deliberately choose to laugh and did so by watching clean comedy and uplifting movies, as well as ministry programs geared toward healing my soul. I spoke with counselors, whether they were professionals or friends. I pray every day throughout the day and I promise to heal my soul.

Laughter was crucial to me in helping me ease and ease the things I was growing up for. There were and there are days when it is difficult to find joy and laughter, but I made and continue to make a conscious decision that laughter is something I needed to have to balance my life.

Psalm 3: 3 The World English Bible says that “But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head.” Yes, God is the one who lifts my head through words of encouragement and laughter that brings joy to my life.

Laughter is also healing because it releases endorphins that provide a calming effect on the body and release stress. After a good laugh I also see things clearer. Give yourself a break and take the time to laugh. Laughter is good for the soul!

Quote: Laughter is important, not only because it makes us happy, but it also has real health benefits. And that’s because laughter fully engages the body and frees the mind. It connects us with others and that in itself has a healing effect. Marlo thomas
