Your 5 a day laughter quota" src="http://www.joycarter.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC00134-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /> Laugh yourself into mental and physical health[/caption]

<p style="text-align: justify;">I thought being a stand up comedian and chocolate lover I would give you a few gems about the importance of laughter and humour in your everyday life.A� Especially as laughter is free! Whatever your craft laughter is an essential power tool to add to your arsenal, as you can laugh yourself into physical and mental heath.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I am not asking you to sit for hours trying to crack gags just look for humour in your day to day and ita��ll reward you with heath, wealth and friends. Even if you are going through a tough time just watching your favourite TV sitcom, calling a best friend who makes you laugh, laughing as you remember something funny from last week or watching your favourite film, these all still count towards your daily '5 a day laughter quota'. A�As adults we laugh on average a sad 15 times a day :-( while children around 200 :-) ...So ita��s worth learning a little from the little happy ones. Laughter and learning are very comfortable bedfellows and dona��t let grumpy people tell you otherwisea�� just pick the right moment to giggle.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Laughter is a beautiful complex miasma of experiences it has the power to move emotional and psychological mountains in life, encourage, heal, educate, flirt, relieve pain and affect others to name a few attributes.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Currently I give motivational talks about the use of 'comedy in adversitya�� using the backdrop of my adoption and life story. A�Humour has healed my heart, helped me voice unmentionable pain, is educational and very inspirational. A�Laughter builds unity, memories, and joyfulness and is extremely contagious! A�Doctors know it is the secret medication of the soul as it boosts your immune system, is a natural deterrent against depression, great for your facial youthful look A�and will focus your mind when under pressure... And SO MUCH MORE! I'm no sales person but I hope I'm selling it to you? Get it! Download it, share it and love it.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">So next time you see a chance to laugh not in a harsh way at someone, but with someone or even yourself seize the moment and grab it!A� It will give your mind a little break and make the afternoon at work fly by.A� So share the joy and laugh that horrid stress awayA�<img alt=":-)"
