Laughter Is the Best Medicine (Yes, Even for Traffic Jams and Burnt Toast)
Let’s be honest: life is a series of bizarre, chaotic events strung together by caffeine and Wi-Fi. From accidentally texting “love you” to your boss, to losing an argument with a five-year-old about dinosaurs, life has a funny way of humbling us.
But while others might find peace through yoga or green juice, there's something powerful in simply laughing it off. And no, I don’t mean a polite chuckle. I mean the kind of laugh that echoes through your soul and makes your belly ache.
How Humor Keeps You Sane in a World Gone Mad
The world is mad. From pineapple-on-pizza arguments to mysterious TikTok trends, it’s a circus. But humor? That’s your backstage pass to sanity.
- Releases feel-good endorphins
- Lowers stress hormones
- Boosts your immune system
It’s your brain’s version of hitting the refresh button. So when:
- Your toddler draws on the wall with peanut butter — laugh.
- Your dog eats your paycheck — laugh (then cry, then laugh again).
- You trip in public and pretend it didn’t happen — laugh harder.
Funny People Live Longer (Or at Least They Die Laughing)
Studies suggest that people who laugh often:
- Live longer
- Are healthier
- Are more attractive (okay, that last one is debatable—but they feel better!)
Laughing also builds stronger connections. Friends who laugh together stay together. Couples who joke more argue less. And teams that have fun at work perform better.
So maybe your lame dad jokes are actually saving your marriage. Congratulations!
