The Most Depressing Day of the Year?
Today (the third Monday in January) is being “coined” the Most Depressing Day of the Year. If you’re feeling “a little down”, don’t worry… you’re not alone.
The best medicine for “the blues” is a little laughter.
Tough to feel down when you’re laughing.
This year I’ve resolved to laugh more. Seriously. My children are laughing all the time and it reminds me of how much I used to as kid. Research shows that young children laugh hundreds of times per day; older adults average about 17 times per day. Healthy adults know how to laugh and have fun (Wooten, 1996, Balik & Lee, 2003). I’ve been reading more and looking for more shows/videos that make me laugh. It feels good, it ignites your energy for life, and it has a very real impact on YOUR health.
I really admire those who laugh with ease. You know they guy at work with the deep belly laugh or the girl with the high pitch cackle. They start laughing and you can’t help but laugh.
So… on this most “Depressing Day of the Year” keep an eye out for the humor in life.
Heck, I’ll make it ease for you.
