Over the past couple of weeks, with all the lockdowns and challenges I am
currently facing as a small business owner in the middle of a pandemic, a
small dark cloud seemed to form over my head.

It would follow me around and sprinkle me with tears every once in a
while, when it would over overflow.

Finally, this week, as we said goodbye to our members for another 28 days , I told
the cloud it was time to go.

In times like this when I seem to be resonating at a lower frequency, I must take
a step back and check myself to see what I need to do to raise my frequency.

When our frequency is low, we attract negative energy, which tends to come with
a whole world of problems. For some, it can feel like carrying the weight of the
world on your shoulders.

If you are trying to change your course in life, it is very difficult to do so when you resonate at a lower frequency than happy and successful people. One of things I like to do to help
me raise my frequency is laugh therapy.

When you laugh heartily for a good several minutes, your heart and lungs get a great
workout and your core muscles get stimulated. You may even find yourself
tired and out of breath after a good laugh session. Laughter also activates the brain to
release endorphins (the feel-good hormone), which promotes a homeostatic
effect in the body, in turn helping the body heal itself.

Frequent rolling laughter can help lower the body’s stress response by
lowering blood pressure and heart rate and has the power to make you forget about
what is getting your down and stressed. The best part is, you don’t need a prescription for laughter.

It can be done anywhere, at anytime (except maybe in church or at the library).
Incorporating laugh therapy into your daily routine can also help to boost your
immune system through the regular release of endorphins and the calming
effect it has on the body.

It raises the body’s overall frequency to help block out lower resonating frequencies
associated with depression and disease. It will also improve your overall mood
and outlook on life, and has anti-aging effects to boot. Who knew that laughing
daily would take years off your face!

So, as we head into the colder darker days of winter, consider setting a daily
appointment in your calendar to spend some time laughing. Five or ten minutes
should do it. Set a laugh date via Zoom with a few friends when you share funny
stories or your favourite jokes.

Remember that laughing is contagious – probably the only good thing to catch these days, so you just need one person to get started and it won’t take long before the whole group is
on the floor laughing.

To help you get started, I leave you with a joke: Instead of “the John,” I call my toilet “the
Jim.” That way it sounds better when I say I go to the Jim first thing every
morning.
