Of course laughter is the best medicine. We've all had the experience of genuine, gut wrenching laughter that changes, if momentarily, our world view. I find it not at all surprising that studies would indicate changes in neuro-endocrine response and am pleased to know that MD's may, now that it's been scientifically proven, recommend it as a means to wellness.
One arena in which I find laughter especially useful is in my ability to laugh at myself. That is, to not take myself so seriously, either in stress levels, success, or woes. Taking a step back from the momentous circumstances of my life always illuminates the reality of the situation in a way that promotes humor [and wellness].
