Laughing your way to success

How can you laugh your way to success? The well-known phrase ‘laughter is the best medicine’ is true because laughter, like crying, provides a release of tension, and it’s often tension that gets in the way.

When you’re feeling bogged down at work or stuck in some kind of way with a project, doing something different is the only way forward. I often recommend a walk in nature, or even just a coffee break and a focus of your mind on something completely different. But laughing is another good way to shift energy.

This happened to me just recently when someone sent me a very funny email that had me laughing out loud. And after, the solution for a challenge that had been facing me suddenly popped into my mind! Hence the benefits of changing your energy.

The email was about quotes from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Here’s a taste:

Attorney: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?

Witness: He said: ‘Where am I, Cathy?’

Attorney: And why did that upset you?

Witness: My name is Susan!
