			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/laughter.jpg" alt="Child&#039;s Laughter" title="Child&#039;s Laughter" width="280" height="280" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1324" />When the economy looks gloomy, everyone needs some humor for a good laugh. As the saying goes, &#8220;Laughter is the best medicine.&#8221; That&#8217;s probably true to a certain extent. Laughter can most certainly help relieve stress. And as we all know, too much stress can be harmful to health. Fortunately, there are tons of free resources on the Internet that will have you in stitches in no time. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of these resources.</p>
<p><strong>Funny pictures.</strong></p>
<p>There are all kinds of funny pictures on the Internet. Some are based on true events, while others are created just for a few good laughs. For instance, you can find entertainment images of your favorite celebrities. Mostly, these are images that are edited by fans and posted on various humor sites. There are literally hundreds (or thousands) of such images on the web. You just have to know where to look.</p>
<p><strong>Cool stuff.</strong></p>
<p>Cool stuff is entertaining as well. These are pictures that may or may not be funny. But there are very interesting. People tend to circulate such pictures via email to their family and friends because these images look cool. Looking cool means the subject of focus is something that is out of the ordinary. For instance, you may see a picture of a cool robot that is created from scrap metal.</p>
<p><strong>Illusions.</strong></p>
<p>Illusions can provide hours and hours of entertainment. These images are created with the intention of fooling the perception of the viewer. The illusions are mostly created with clever image editing tricks. A single image can be used to represent more than one view &#8211; depending on how you look at the picture. Usually, you will need to spend a few minutes on each picture just to be able to see the optical illusion.</p>
<p><strong>Funny kids pictures.</strong></p>
<p>Children are always fun to have around. They get into lots of funny situations because of their innocence. Many children photos don&#8217;t even need to be edited. The original photos are already pretty funny. Besides, children have the liberty to do anything they want without getting into trouble. So the possibilities for great pictures are endless. For example, a young child posing as a football fan can show the middle finger and look cute. An adult showing the middle finger will certainly come across as offensive!</p>
<p><strong>Military images.</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, a serious environment can create the most hilarious situations. For those who enjoy military jokes, such images are ideal. Jokes are often based on soldiers and interesting looking weaponry.</p>
<p><strong>Funny people pictures.</strong></p>
<p>Children can be funny, but sometimes, adults get into humorous situations as well. Many of these pictures or snapshots of adults making funny faces. On occasions, you get to see funny things happening to adults in real life. These are usually shots that are captured while an adult is working. During the act, an accident happens (like falling off a ladder). Adults clowning around can be quite funny at times.</p>
<p><strong>Political jokes.</strong></p>
<p>Many people like to make fun of politicians. Instead of adopting a serious view about politics, many bloggers and webmasters create funny pictures of key figures. These images tend to attract more readers.</p>
<p>Note that most of the works mentioned above are created purely for entertainment. If you find some of the jokes to be offensive, simply shut them out. Just browse less offensive images like children&#8217;s funny pictures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">If you want to stay healthy in simple way, just laugh frequently. Healthy and stay young are only some of a large number of the benefits of laughing. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that laughing has a lot of advantages. Just by laughing frequently is even good to prevent you getting heart failure. Therefore, laughing is actually more than just a response of something funny or pleasing.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-557" title="laughter" src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/laughter-300x199.gif" alt="laughter" width="300" height="199" />There are several advantages of laughing that you may never realize. Laughing leads our brain to do two simultaneous aspects, visual and phonic. Visual aspect leads us to have some special gesture in our face, and phonic aspect leads us to produce certain sound. Those two aspects make many changes in our body including in our hand, foot and muscles.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Furthermore, there is a magic system to keep us healthy and young. When we are laughing, fifteen muscles are contracting and there will be electric stimulus in most of mouth muscles. In certain condition, the tear duct is stimulated. We also take enough amount of air when we are laughing. So, our face begins to get red and our eyes will produce more tears.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The next benefit of laughing is to help us relieve stress and emotion. There are still many people who tend to keep their emotion such as anger, sadness, boredom, and so on. Actually it has quite bad effect for their psychological health. Meanwhile, watching comedy shows or films and laughing out loud at them is simply helpful to relieve those emotions.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">In general, these are the psychological and physical advantages of laughing:</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">1.	To relive stress in certain level. Stress might increase blood-tension and create certain hormone that will be harmful for our artery, and laughing might help us to prevent it.<br />
2.	To increase immune system, because laughing makes the entire components in immune system balance.<br />
3.	To reduce high blood-tension. Laughing is very helpful in increasing blood stream and also increasing oxygen rate on our blood that resulted in good respiration system.<br />
4.	To avoid diseases. Anger and fear are the most influencing emotion in heart failure cases, and laughing will be helpful to prevent it.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">So, instead of drowning in your sadness or anger, it is better to displace it into laugh, right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know the importance of exercise to get our circulation going, strengthen our muscles and keep us mentally sharp, but what about the internal aerobics we should be doing, called laughter?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="https://claytonjohnston.com/why-having-laugh-is-so-important"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p>Laughing exercises all sorts of internal muscles and organs that nothing else reaches in quite the same way. The saying that &#8220;A merry heart doeth good like a medicine&#8221; is actually very true. Laughing reduces stress and helps us to feel better, and the heartier the laughing the better. There are even clinics that specialise in laugh therapy &#8211; one was featured on the evening news just the other night. Although the people look a little ridiculous, the idea is a good one.</p>
<p>Although laughing when depressed is very difficult, it&#8217;s not impossible. However, an external trigger is required, so it&#8217;s a good idea to watch a comedy show, read jokes or something else funny to get you to break into a laugh. This won&#8217;t, of course, immediately clear your depression, but it does give you a period during which you can &#8220;forget&#8221; all your problems, giving the mind a little time gap in which to gather strength and resources to fight the depression.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-515" style="margin: 10px;" title="laugh" src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/laugh.jpg" alt="laugh" width="300" height="250" /></p>
<p>When stressed at work and faced with lots of challenges and obstacles, it often helps to look at the funny side of dire situations, and have a laugh about it. This aids in shifting your perspective to give you a wider understanding of the problem, as often people get &#8220;tunnel vision&#8221; when crowded by problems.</p>
<p>When looking for humor to cheer you up, it is best to stick to clean humor, as the other kind just tends to remind you of various problems. This type of clean humor can be quite hard to find, as comedians tend to go below the belt to try and get cheap laughs. But it is the clever joke that can really get you laughing from the belly. And it&#8217;s even better if nobody &#8220;get&#8217;s hurt&#8221; by the humor. Humor doesn&#8217;t have to be cruel to be funny. It&#8217;s a lot harder to make up these jokes, and they are therefore harder to find, but they&#8217;re out there.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t find any jokes, go to the mirror and try to look as serious as you can. The look on your own face is usually enough to get one laughing!</p>
<p>Another good idea is to hang around other people that laugh a lot. I used to have an uncle that loved to laugh, and it always cheered me up to be around him, and I actually felt better for being in his company.</p>
<p>So try and have a good laugh! Let it bubble up and wobble your whole inside around.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good for you!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1556" title="Laughing" src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/laughing.jpg" alt="Laughing" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">If there is one thing that always holds true, it has to be this &#8211; happiness is for <em>all</em> who <em>strive</em> to <em>b</em>e happy &#8211; and for those people who laugh often; they are usually happy.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Everyone is eligible to be happy: you, me, and everybody else living in the four corners of the globe. There are no strict rules, no guidelines, to follow to be happy or better still, to achieve happiness. Happiness is a state of mind. And, and if you aren&#8217;t familiar with it&#8217;s power, the mind controls everything.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The effort one has to put forth to become happy, doesn&#8217;t have to begin with laughter, it can be achieved with just a simple smile.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">So let me ask you a question, do you ever laugh? Do you ever smile?</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">I mean, do you ever laugh out loud &#8211; spontaneously &#8211; just to laugh? Or have you ever laughed, to the point, that it raised a few eyebrows and expressions of wonderment, to those standing in close proximity, to question whether you are feeling all right?</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Well if you don&#8217;t or haven&#8217;t laughed like that, then you should. If you begin each and every day with laughter than you needn&#8217;t worry about anything else for the rest of the day.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Personally, I like to laugh. It always makes me feel like I&#8217;m releasing tension from my brain.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Laughter is more or less a habit. To some it comes naturally to others it comes with practice. But what&#8217;s to hinder practicing every now and again?</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Laugh and live long, laugh and grow well, laugh and succeed. If you are happy, nothing can faze you, because the person who laughs their way through life has absolutely nothing to fear.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Is there magic in laughter? Well you have to admit that laughing does cheer you up. If you find yourself board, and you can&#8217;t think of something to do, then just begin to laugh. That will give you something to do. Laughter is synonymous with action, and, most of the time, action dispels trouble and worry.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Real, genuine laughter is spontaneous just like water bubbling forth from a mountain spring. The water is mingled with action and spontaneity, which is also the very nature of laughter. It is an unrestrained emotion that is inside each and every one of us.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Next time you are out and about observe the average person, on the street, as they walk by. Most of the time they are plodding along with no spring, no pep, no vitality. What that person needs is energy. Energy is a powerful force that prompts people into action.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">So if you are not in the habit of laughing, get into the habit. Never miss a chance to laugh out loud. If you don&#8217;t want to laugh, then smile. Smiling is better then nothing, and a small chuckle is better still. But neither can be compared to out and out laughter. That is the real thing.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Now go ahead, give it a try. What are you waiting for? Today is the day to begin &#8211; right now, this very minute. Unless you make a real effort, chances are you will over think the task and it will never get done.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">And another thing I can tell you &#8211; something that I know to be true. Once you start the habit of laughter, you&#8217;ll have a hard time going back to the way it was before or the way it used to be. Laughter is a hard habit to break.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">If you laugh out loud and you laugh long, then you are well on your way to happiness. So go ahead, <em>have a laugh on me</em>. You have to start sometime.</p>
