She Empowers: 20 Somethings for the 20 Something Soul

Dear 20 something soul,

Something #3

MAKE TIME FOR LAUGHTER…OFTEN!

You know those laughs that grow in your belly, explode from your mouth and tickles you for moments on end? They usually are from remembering something funny with a friend or laughing at something hysterical that you might have just seen or that a love one just did or said. They make you laugh so hard that your cheeks start burning because the muscles in them can’t stop dancing on top of your face. Afterwards you feel like you’ve ran a marathon due to how euphoric you feel. Well, make more time for them 20 something soul!

Laughter is said to be the best medicine and did you know that there’s actually science behind that clever saying? Laughter is said to, relax your body, boosts the immune system, triggers and releases endorphins, and protects the heart by improving the functioning of blood vessels and blood flow.

The other weekend my best friend since kindergarten had a really bad week and I wasn’t having the best one either. My kids were at their grandmothers and my husband was at work so she came over and we had a fun girl’s night in filled with baking, dancing, making videos, and laughing so hard that I literally peed my pants. We both felt so alive and happy afterwards and our 20 something cares fell by the wayside. Life is too short to not laugh as much as possible! Laugh more and make it one of those belly burning, cheeks dancing, peeing your pants kind of laugh!

Till next time,

20 something soul
