When you smile, show me your deepest thoughts, let me see you, let me explore each of your secrets and feel close to you, sometimes you spread me with joy, just drawing a small curve on your lips, because your eyes are already smiling at me before laughter reaches your mouth.
Through each of your smiles you show me the world as you see it, show me that there is a way to see life with an open soul willing to learn, if you do not smile I will fight against everything that is at my fingertips your lips to heaven.
“Reject me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter, for then I would die.
-Pablo Neruda-
A child laughs about 400 times a day and an adult about 15. This may be because we have lost our innocence or sense of humor, but the truth is that many times we have to find the ease of laughing like children. Have fun and learn to see life in a much simpler way.
One of the causes of our lack of humor on certain occasions is the rigidity with which we behave, our lack of naturalness, our fear of breaking the rules, of not respecting the rules, but who wrote the rules?What if we don’t respect him? It’ll be all right, we’ll just be ourselves.
Just take a bus early in the morning and look at people’s faces to realize that no one else is smiling, that everyone has lost their good humor, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you smiled a little more? your problems will remain there, but if you smile, you will surely see them differently.
When we are children we are not ashamed or think about our faults or virtues, we are simply happy and smile for life, so laughter is also a matter of self-esteem, if we have self-love we can accept our faults and virtues and set aside the importance we place on what others think.
But it’s not just if you have good self-esteem that you can laugh at yourself; if you laugh at yourself, it will boost your self-esteem, so it’s something that works both ways.
Another way to relearn how to laugh at ourselves is to figure out how to overcome our shyness, our shame in the opinions of others, since this sensitivity to negative criticism is what paralyzes us and does not allow us to enjoy our laughter. Say what goes through your head, make jokes, smile, don’t be afraid, nothing will happen and you’ll even have fun.
Laughter therapy is no longer just a way to combat stress or have a good time with friends, but has become a method of medical and psychological applications. From the bottom up is that when a laugh is forced, it will make us feel just as good and a natural laugh will come out.
The psychologist José Elas, pioneer of ristotherapy in Spain, has shown that laughter strengthens the heart and that when we laugh, we move 420 muscles of our body, including the heart muscle, in addition, laughter lowers blood pressure because it increases the diameter of the heart. blood vessels and promotes breathing.
Therefore, laughter improves our quality of life and our health, as well as having positive physical and psychological effects. Learning to laugh helps us see life from another point of view, much more enjoyable and healthy. So smile, because it’s the language of your soul, the way you can get out of your body and fly.
