LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Laughter has to be spontaneous from the bottom of the heart.

But there are certain diseases which can cause emotional outbursts without any reason.

ARE YOU AWARE OF ‘GELASTIC EPILEPSY’?

Here the cause is unknown.

It’s a kind of seizure, involving a sudden burst of energy, in the form of laughing or crying.

AND WHAT ABOUT PSEUDO BULBAR AFFECT?

In this condition,we know the reason for the emotional outburst.

The people who had a brain injury or other neurological diseases, (Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis) can develop uncontrollable emotional outbursts in the form of laughing or crying.

It’s hard to stop these outbursts which are not connected to the moods, which may even be inappropriate to the event.

MY 5 THOUGHTS ON LAUGHTER

1. Unintentional humor and laughter are natural, spontaneous and innocent.
2. Keep smiling. We know that smile is contagious and everybody around you start smiling creating a happy mood.
3. Try to spend time with joyful people.
4. Count your blessings and laugh yourself.
5. Since you ain’t in control everything in your life, try to have a positive attitude.
