Inner Jogging
Today I am grateful for regular opportunities to practice self-care and actually doing it. I am also grateful for laughter and the many ways it can brighten a day, a mood, a soul.
I came across this quote recently:
"Laughter is inner jogging." (Norman Cousins)
Heartfelt laughter, with people we know and are comfortable with, can be some of the best kind of laughter. It comes from a joyful place and spreads more joy.
Laughter is also a universal language, like smiles. Laughter can bring a diverse group to common ground or diffuse tension among others.
It is also healthy for us to laugh. Laughter increases oxygen flow and releases endorphins. It helps improve our mood and immune system and relieves stress. It has benefits across all areas of wellness-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
I like to do plenty of outer jogging (a.k.a. running), but inner jogging is a good exercise to pursue too.
