Life Tip #6
Recently, while doing a good deal of traveling, meeting many different people, I was horrifyingly struck by the prevalence of:
Grumpy Grown-Up Syndrome (commonly known as GGS), a serious medical condition caused by eliminating humor from life.
- Laughter is the only cure known to ward off GGS, as it lessens
muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, stimulates internal organs, brain and immune system.
- The medical profession wholeheartedly endorses belly laughs,
chuckling, guffaws, smiling, and engaging in (believe it or not!), silly behavior whenever humanly possible.
- For GGS sufferers, it is advised to "lighten up", learn to laugh at yourself and with (not at), others, share jokes, funny stories and give yourself permission to be playful and have fun!
- There are NO adverse side effects to this advice.
And remember, taking action is the catalyst for change!
