A Day Without A Smile Is A Lost Day
A day without a smile starts on the horizon like a lost day. This phrase might sound like a dentist’s hype, but it’s been scientifically proven that the cerebral cortex sends electrical impulses one second after laughter begins.
Laughing, the brain sends an order that causes the release of endorphins,
giving an inner feeling of comfort and well-being, as well as relieving pain and rebalancing our vitality.
Laughing is a natural calming and, in some ways, a kind of meditation.
If we can laugh, we enter a space where neither mind nor time exists. The mind thrives on expectations, laughter goes further. As in meditation, laughing makes us slip into a timeless dimension where we can unplug and forget about all our puzzles.
Laughter is so therapeutic that it even has a discipline of its own in psychology: laughter therapy.
A strategy aimed at producing emotional states through laughter. Although it cannot be considered a therapy, since it does not cure diseases in itself, it helps to stop, for example, the negative effects of anxiety or to decrease the intensity of negative emotions, such as sadness.
