Funny Memories

Laughter is a drug.

And the nice thing about this particular addiction is that it is so hard to over dose on it.

The healing power of humor is getting a new look from research science (now see here). You know those funny TV shows you watch, or that silly person you hang out with who makes you laugh even when you don’t want to?

It turns out that, by doing those things, you are giving your brain releif from the stress hormones while stimulates the parts of your brain that use the “feel good” chemical messenger dopamine.

An added benefit of laughing is the improvement of memory (now see here). So remember to watch sitcoms. Remember to hang around people that pull your spirits up. Remember to find the funny aspects of your day in every situation.
