We Have Been Bested by Kindergarteners

Can't let those little 5-year-olds win. 🤣

This is the Kindness Magnet newsletter (new name, same author!)—useful kindness habits to improve your life. I’m Heather Johnston Brebaugh, an author and kindness advocate.

“Laughter is the best medicine.”  King Solomon

Who Laughs More?

5 year-olds laugh about 300 times a day.  A giggle every 3 minutes. 

Us?  Just 17 times a day.  ☹

C’mon. Let’s laugh more.  Because laughter:

·        Improves your immune system

·        Eases pain

·        Improves mood

·        Lower bloods pressure

·        Reduces stress, depression, anxiety

·        Helps you lose weight – up to 4 pounds a year

·        Makes you feel happier

·        Helps you connect with people

·        Makes you smarter

·        Helps people remember what you say

They have an edge

Back to those giggling 5 year-olds.  They have a big edge.  But we can catch up.  A little.

Lighten up.  Enjoy the moment.  Laugh. Giggle. Chortle. Chuckle. Smile. 

We don’t need to be great joke-tellers.  Thank heavens.  I usually forget the punch line.  Unless it’s the joke that goes,

A turkey sandwich walked into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender said, “I’m sorry. We don’t serve food here.”

Ok, I’m trying…

Here’s to giggling … or groaning.

• The toddler

• Trash people

• Contagious laughter

• Corny jokes

Can’t let those 5 year-olds win. 🏆
