PersonalGrowth :Laughter Is Good For The Soul


By Jana Hicks

Let's define soul for clarity it is your mind, will, and emotions. Mind your thoughts/how you think and where you reason. Will where you make your choices. Emotions the place of your feelings.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 and 4 from The Message Bible talks about a opportune time for everything on earth including laughter

1 There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
4 A right time to cry and another to laugh, A right time to lament and another to cheer,

I have been in a long season of life which have at many times knocked the wind out of my sail. I continue to grow through and find purpose, as well as lessons I needed to learn to be able to move forward in my life. So much was hitting me at one time and I found myself losing my joy. Laughter was not evident in my life due to a season of mourning from all the loss.

Proverbs 17:22 Amplified Bible say that "A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones."

I had to find the joy and laughter in spite of all I was growing through. My disposition is one of being a encourager and uplifting others. I had to deliberately choose to laugh and I did so by watching clean comedy and uplifting movies as well as ministry programs geared to heal my soul. I spoke to counselors whether they were professional or friends. I pray daily throughout my day making the commitment to heal my soul.

Laughter was crucial for me to help lighten up and take the edge off of the things I was growing through. There were and there are days it is hard to find the joy and laughter but I made and continue to make a conscious decision that laughter is something I needed to have to bring the balance in my life.

Psalm 3:3 World English Bible states that "But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head." Yes God is the lifter of my head through encouraging words and the laughter that brings joy to my life.

Laughter is also healing because it release endorphins which brings a calming effect on the body and releases stress. After a good laugh I also see things clearer. Give yourself a break and take the time to laugh. Laughter is indeed good for the soul!

Quote: Laughter is important, not only because it makes us happy, it also has actual health benefits. And that's because laughter completely engages the body and releases the mind. It connects us to others, and that in itself has a healing effect. Marlo Thomas
