Laughter is the best medicine

Day 91 / 366

One thing that I have found again and again while writing this blog is how many things that we know as cliches are actually true. Quotes like “A friend in need is a friend indeed”, or “Slow and steady wins the race”, would make us roll our eyes when we were teenagers. But as you grow up, you realize they are all profoundly true.

Another such quote is — “Laughter is the best medicine”. Medicine of what you ask? Of anything! Any situation can get better if you can find a reason to laugh. It’s crazy how well our mind responds to laughter. You know if you try to fake laugh for even a minute, you would soon actually start laughing. The same goes for smiling. If you look into a mirror and try to fake a smile, you will soon find yourself smiling naturally and feeling much better.

I have a few YouTube videos that would always make me laugh no matter how many times I watch them. They come in handy when I am sad or just anxious about something and want to distract myself.

For instance, take this video. A drunk guy who is stuck in a box and cannot get out. It’s just 1 minute and of shit quality which is how you know it's going to be awesome!

Do you have any such videos that always make you laugh? If so share them with me so that I can add them to my playlist!
