You may find this very hard at first, but once you are in the habit of
unplugging for one day a week, you will crave the time. Making a
household-wide rule to unplug for one day a week will help family
members reconnect, and restore and strengthen relationships.
Secret # 34: Laugh
They say, “laughter is the best medicine,” and there is much truth
in this. According to scientific research, laughing is good for us,
and we all need to do more of it. Make sure you laugh every day.
Not just a chuckle, but a real laugh. Find something funny, and let
yourself go.
The health benefits associated with laughter are often overlooked.
However, Robert R. Provine, PhD, author of the book Laughter,
states that laughter boosts the heart rate.
This will help anyone who is
feeling sluggish. So, keep those
corny jokes in the back of your
mind, or even a few really funny
videos in a file on your desktop.
Switch out your afternoon muffin
and coffee for a quick two-
minute funny video, and you will
be in business.
