Watch A Funny Movie

Have you noticed that it is kind of hard to feel stressed or unhappy while you are laughing? So it may be a short-term fix, but sometimes a good belly laugh is enough to completely lift my spirits and make me feel better. At the very least it takes my mind off the stressful situation for a while. It also allows my body to create mood elevating chemicals which can do wonders on a dark, dreary winter night. I have also noticed that after a good laugh, I am actually able to think clearer too.

Last night I turned on the television and When Harry Met Sally was on. Now that movie has some funny scenes in it. (OK, so you know the one I mean. If you don’t you need to go and rent it.) Other funny favorites of mine are The Full Monty, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and My Cousin Vinny. What are some of yours?

Laughter IS great medicine. So rent a movie, invite some friends over…. and have fun!
