Laughter is the Best Medicine
Momma, I truly believe that laughter is one of the most powerful tools we have.
You’ve probably heard the saying before, but I can tell you firsthand that it’s true: #laughteristhebestmedicine. Well, it has been extremely true for me. When life gets heavy or the day feels overwhelming, there’s nothing like a good laugh to lift your spirits and give your body the reset it needs.
Laughter isn’t just about feeling good in the moment (though it definitely helps with that!). It goes deeper than that. Science even backs it up—when we laugh, our bodies release endorphins, those feel-good hormones that help ease tension and create a sense of relief. But that’s not all. Laughter also supports our immune system by boosting the production of immune cells and antibodies. It’s like nature’s way of giving your body a little extra support—wrapped in joy.
Laughter for the Soul and Body
There’s something about laughter that brings us right back to the present moment. Whether it’s giggling at something silly your kids did or sharing a funny memory with a friend, laughter connects us to the people we love and helps lighten the load.
Have you ever noticed how a good belly laugh can instantly change the energy in the room? Or how, when someone nearby bursts into uncontrollable laughter, it’s nearly impossible not to smile—or even join in? In those moments, your cares melt away, and you’re fully wrapped up in the joy of now. It’s like a refreshing breeze sweeping through, and suddenly things feel a little more manageable.
Laughter doesn’t just help the body—it nourishes the soul, too. It gives us a fresh perspective, even on the toughest days.
Making Laughter Part of Your Day
You don’t need to wait for a special occasion to enjoy the benefits of laughter. Find joy in the little moments. Watch a funny video with your kids, share a silly story at the dinner table, or call a friend who always has you laughing. Those daily doses of laughter go a long way in helping you feel balanced and energized, no matter what life throws your way. I feel like laughter is just a social media reel away these days. :)
And don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself, Momma! It happens, in the midst of the chaos, we have to just smile and find humor in the moment. Laughter reminds us that we don’t have to take everything so seriously.
Embrace the Medicine of Laughter
Let us never underestimate the power of laughter. It’s one of the simplest, most natural ways to take care of ourselves and our families. Life can get heavy sometimes, and it’s in those moments when taking a second to find a reason to laugh can benefit you the most. Your body and spirit will thank you for it.
Let’s promise to keep laughing, Mommas—no matter what.
