Did you hear about why the cookie went to the hospital? Because he felt crummy!
Why did Johnny throw the clock out of the window? He wanted to see time fly!
What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta!
Do you know the answers to these questions?
- What happens to your blood vessels when you laugh? Is it good or bad for them?
- How does laughter affect your emotional brain health?
- What can laughter do for your struggle with stress and anxiety?
- Can laughter be a “food” for your body? If so, how?
- How can you increase your respiratory rate and oxygen consumption without paying a doctor’s bill?
- Isn’t the Bible an old, stuffy book that makes people feel condemned and sad?
- What can laughter do to fear? We all have it, and don’t know what to do with it!
- How can you stop wasting your life?
According to that adorable and hysterical comic Charlie Chaplin, you are wasting your life if you spend your days without laughter: “A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
Come and get the answers to these questions and many more. Find out how you can change “a day wasted” to a “day of investment” in your heart, emotional, and brain health!
The Bible is right! – A merry heart does good, like medicine Proverbs 17:22a
Join us as we learn the value of laughter from God’s perspective, from science’s perspective, and from medicine’s perspective.
Three aspects will be presented and experienced at this workshop:
- The Scriptural, scientific, and medical foundation for the importance of laughter in our lives.
- Handouts to use during the workshop and to take home for practice—to understand what happens to the brain, the heart, and the spirit when YOU laugh.
- Practice exercises that will equip you to laugh in the days to come, to respond in new ways to the events in your life, to empower you to see from God’s perspective, to have childlike faith to believe that with God all things are possible!
Beware!!! Laughter will be on the premises!
