The Best Medicine (8)

Would you agree with me when i said "Laughter it the best Medicine?"

     Not only is it the best, its free! It takes a group, or just you and yourself. When reading the article "Laughter is the best medicine", it talked about how laughing, or even smiling can reduce stress and increase happiness and help in relationships and is good for your health.

     Laughter relaxes the body and boosts the immune system which help fight diseases. Laughter also causes endorphins to be released which is a chemical that makes you feel good. It gives you a sense of well being and can take away pain for a period of time.

It helps you turn that frown,

 Upside down.

Your don't want to be sad and stressed your whole life.


Ever been really stressed and someone makes you laugh and that stress magically goes away? Thats because laughter helps you to relax and see something from a different perspective. It allows you to see something more realistically which makes you see that there really is nothing to stress about. In relationships, when things get tight, try adding some humor or more laughter to the relationship. This causes you to be able to let go of defenses and be more spontaneous. it also helps you let go of what you are helping back and just let you be able to have a real conversation with the person. Don't try to hold those emotions in, let them come out because you will regret it if you don't.

If you think that sometimes you can be too serious, smile. It will help you think of the good things that have happened in life and all the reasons you have to smile. Of course, there is a time and place for everything, but who doesn't love a good smile? It can brighten up the mood and make you feel more relaxed and at peace.

It takes you to a whole new world.

It brings a sense of joy and playfulness that nothing else in the world can. It could help you get through the day. When your down, try to smile. You'll never know what may help until you try.

As Segal and Smith said in the article "As laughter, humor, and play become an integrated part of your life, your creativity will flourish and new discoveries for playing with friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and loved ones will occur to you daily. Humor takes you to a higher place where you can view the world from a more relaxed, positive, creative, joyful, and balanced perspective."

Define Yourself (7)

Fashion. The building blocks of life. Something that makes you who you are and adds to your personality.  You pick what you want to wear. You decide. Would you wear jeans and a cute shirt, with your most elaborate handbag?

Or would you be the one to rock that cute new lace dress that just came in stores?

Which ever one you would be, its your own style. When reading the article “Clothes that Never go out of Fashion”, I learned that some clothes really do never go out of style. Take jeans for instance. They’ve been around since dinosaurs roamed the earth. You can always dress them up, or dress them down which makes them a suitable pant for almost every top. You can make them your own with how you accesorize them. 

One of my favorite lines from the article is “Fashion should betreated like any other fairground ride – hop on and have a few laughs. Lingeruntil you feel giddy, but don't stay too long or you'll end up feeling sick”(Laverne). This explains the art of fashion. You can make your own personal style and it reflects on you. You are always free to change up your fashion whether that be getting a completely new wardrobe, or borrowing your friends top that isn't exactly your style but u want to give a try. My advice would be to go for it. Why not change it up sometimes? Like the quote says, if you don't change it up every once in a while, you make get sick of it. So be adventurous. The clothes don't define you, you define the clothes. 

Parenting (6)

Today I read, “5 problems you cant blame on how you were raised”. The most important line is “Explaining this idea to siblings who think everything has to be fair can be difficult, but parents can take heart knowing that even if they fail to explain themselves properly, they probably won't scar their kids for life.” The whole article talks about how you can’t blame your parents for certain things once you grow up. The number one reason was parenting. Did you know that your genes affect how your parents treat you? When the genes are passes along from a parent to a child, the genes of how a child acts and connects with others are a way this is affected.

         I think that in the real world, we can see how a parent treats a child. Going over to someone’s house doesn’t show us the real thing though. Its when we see them in a hard or stressful time is when we see how they handle those things and that could affect their parenting. I know tat I don’t have experience with parenting but I’m almost positive that if my parents had risen to differently, I would be who I am today.
