Collage of family members being silly, smiling, laughing. |
Use those muscles!
Repeat after me:
Ha. Ha.
He. He.
Ho.
Laughter yoga works.
Or,
watch mirror's funny faces,
dance goofy dances,
sing squeaky voices,
tell absurd jokes,
play children's games,
be the child
in you.
Remember?

ReplyDeletei may need to try laughter yoga...think you can lose weight with it...i ate a heavy lunch that is still with me...ha
I would love some laughter yoga.. But even better to laugh like a child...
ReplyDeleteHow fun ~ I love playing children games ~
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason it's called the best medicine... That's a class I would take.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and important energy in this poem.....do we remember...I wonder...
ReplyDeleteLove this. It does take practice, the letting go of it. And then with exercise, one's face might show it!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile, Myrna. The child in me still exists!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing silly about smiling. Or laughter. We need a lot more of both of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem.
Laughter and happiness is a sign of good health and heart.
ReplyDeleteThis poem of yours made me smile. :)
I love your collage so much....and both poems. Laughter yoga is hilarious. And it seems to work!
ReplyDeleteLaughter yoga has to be healthier than "hot yoga", which damn near croaked my sweet wife; but your message is clarion, & bang on; nice use of the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Myrna, there is nothing like having fun the way kids do!
ReplyDeleteLove this - the message and the delivery.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I still remember how to be silly...it's fun! Love this sweet poem. (Saw laughter yoga on a documentary once...you almost have to join in!)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea you present Myrna, that childhood essence, that simplicity of life, so well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this reminder to lighten the heart!
ReplyDeleteHealing... Yes! Laughter is certainly great medicine!
ReplyDeletelaughter is the best medicine - silliness will improve any mood and relieves stress - and your poem is a great stress reliever!
ReplyDeleteHa ha hee hee!
ReplyDeleteoh yes laughter and child....
ReplyDeletelaughter yoga... that sounds fun and laughing is def. good for our heart muscles...
ReplyDeleteI believe laughter can heal us, and the lack thereof can hurt us.
ReplyDeleteFun write!
ReplyDeleteyep... Im about as silly as silly can be
ReplyDeleteSilly or not laughter works. It is always welcomed as it is contagious! Nicely Myrna!
