#87: Why The Laughie Is The New Selfie.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to record a laughie. It works wonders.

I got up on the wrong foot today and somehow struggled all day. I realized too late that I should have taken a full dose of laughter much earlier in the day.

I could have picked up my hidden script today. It would have helped, I am sure. Listening to a conversation between Walter and the Dude is hilarious. But luckily, those two gentlemen are not alone in making me laugh.

Now that I have read about the concept of a laughie, I know that I can be pretty self-sufficient when it comes to my daily dose of laughter. Social laughter obviously has various side-benefits over and above those directly attributed to laughter, but don’t make being around others a dependency.

Freda Gonot-Schoupinsky convincingly describes the benefits of laughing in her comprehensive essay on how to laugh more and explains in her YouTube video how to record your own laughie.

So next time you feel and behave like I did today, put an end to it sooner than later by recording or listening to a pre-recorded laughie. The world around you will thank you for it.

You will be grateful to yourself.

Keep laughing!
