What is better - sex or laughter?

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. Said Zig Ziglar, American Sales Trainer and Author

Also laughter, like sex, often doesn't last very long, so I recommend doing it as often as you can.

And I thought -  WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOU, SEX OR LAUGHTER?

Well, it's still quite early and the kids haven't gone to bed yet, so let's start with laughter.

Case story
Recently I saw a client who was complaining that she feels cold most of the time. As part of the session I did a 5-element balance with her (a procedure based on the Chinese Law of Five Elements which represent all aspects of the universe and natural cycles of the earth). The 'weakness' showed up in a couple of meridians. However, in order to balance them all she had to laugh happily and with appreciation say out loud “I love myself”. After doing that her whole system was instantly strong and robust. Such a pleasure and benefit in just one go! As a homework for her I “prescribed” (tested) that she should laugh significantly more. She said – but how if there is not so much to laugh about? Do i need to pretend? Well, yes, pretend and force yourself. If your life would depend on that – wouldn't you look out for something to laugh about, even if you have to work hard to find it. She simply was not allowing herself to express joy or was actively suppressing it.

DO 
- Smile consciously: the muscles used when smiling stimulate our autonomic nervous system to release endorphins, opiates and serotonin – hormones that sustain our sense of well-being, optimism and self-esteem. 
- If you hate the idea of forcing a smile, hold a pencil between your teeth for 1 or 2 min a day – that also will activate your smile muscles, leading your heart rate to decrease and causing you to feel happier. 

AND/OR

- Do a quick burst of belly laughter: 2/3 of seratonin – the feel-good hormone - is produced in the gut. So laugh out loud and long.
- If you hate the idea of laughing out loud and expressfully, then massaging your belly will produce similar results. Or exercise your abdominal muscles. I, personally, would choose laughter. 

To help you get started, here's an anecdote I heard from a very sexy young man about a married Belfast couple listening to the radio as the song 'When I Fall in Love' was playing. “Who's that singer?” the husband asks. “Nat King Cole,” his wife replies. “Aye,” says he, “but if it's Nat King Cole, who is it then?” 

Don't miss next month's News letter when I present the case for sex... perhaps :)
