How often do you laugh?

I can't even imagine how many times I laugh in a day. I love laughing and try to see the funny side of life whenever I can. I've thought about it a lot and I don't think I'm using laughter as a defense mechanism against depression or anything, at least not most of the time... I honestly love to laugh! I always thought I'd die one day of a heart attack or stroke but since hearing the same thing about laughter, plus the way I eat and lack of any family history of stroke or heart attack, I think I'll probably avoid fatal heart issues. You've given me something to think about, though. I'm going to have to try to count the number of times I actually laugh in an average day. I'll have to get back to you on this one.

GOOD MORNING JEN, I don't laugh near as much as i would like to.I go days & don't see a soul but dogood to laugh over jokes & things i get on the computer. That helps alot. I have cried more lately than i have laughed to tell u the truth but that's some better. Have a good sat. hugs.

Hi, JenInTN, great discussion. Seems that people like to laugh and no wonder, it makes you feel much better. I like to have fun with friends and sometimes with people I don´t know - it is a good way to create contact.. I love to make others laugh and when we talk about something, I often remember some fun story about that subject. It gives us both a reason to laugh, and that is one of the best gifts you can give your friends.. Makes them happier and healthier..

Yes, I can vouch for the fact that laughter is wonderful medicine. I can well imagine that it can help prevent a heart attack, as stress plays a big part in causing heart problems. When we are laughing, it is a great feeling and we cannot really be stressed and laugh at the same time.. Well not properly anyway! _Derek

I usually make other people laugh and I laugh along with them. I read jokes and pass it on to those around me. Reading rib-tickling jokes can make you laugh even if no one is around and you have no reason to laugh. I agree laughter is the best medicines. It increases the circulation of the blood, increases the oxygen intake and I think that is an essential ingredient for healthy living.

I laugh whenever I hear a funny joke or watch a funny movie. well, I can say that very often cause people around are funny and crazy and they really make me laugh and sometimes if their jokes are no that funny I still manage to laugh cause the person is so corny haha. And most of my time I like to spend it with happy and funny people. I am also becoming a funny and it make me smile whenever I see them happy. ^_^

I'm pretty sure I don't laugh daily, but at least once a week, but sometimes more, kinda depends on the cats...

i think most of us love to laugh. i love to laugh too, i always makes my wife laugh ans seeing her laughing makes me laugh good too. our son makes us laugh too, kids do things that are unexpected then it will make you laugh so hard you can cry. it is cool to hear that laughing can prevent heart attack. it is really good to smile and to laugh than to frown.

Hey Jen! I try to laugh as much as possible! I watch late night comedy shows as much as I can and hope that I will at least have my nightly "laugh fix"! Sometimes my cats make me laugh, sometimes my boyfriend does! I never know when or where I will get it and it doesn't matter as long as I get it! Sometimes I actually make myself laugh! My friends think I'm funny! I just wish I spent more time laughing~and less time depressed~

I do agree that laughter is the best medicine. I try to laugh a lot during the day, myself, but I never have kept up with how many times I laugh. I love to laugh, too. I used to watch a lot of comedies on tv and that always helped me. I haven't seen very many comedies these days that I think are all that funny any more.

Hi,JenInTN .An interesting question.I didn't notice this before.But I believe I always laugh now cause I am in good mood these days.I am doing the things I want to do .I find my goal and work for it.So there is nothing bother me.I can laugh a lot everyday.

i laugh a lot when i watch talk shows on television and those discussing about a certain topic get to commit a lot of booboos and put their foot on their mouth a lot of times. other than that, i lead a very quiet and laughless life... working on my computer, reading books and simply enjoying light and soft music... also, playing with my 5 dogs, 2 cats and a rooster... probably, when my pets start making jokes, i'll have more occasion to laugh...

HI friend, Laughter is best medicine indeed. But the problem is in today's world most people have forgotten to laugh. That why laughing club have emerged where people laugh artificially. Laughing is a great stress buster and therefore help in preventing many deseases. Yes i laugh a lot. In morning every day I do Yoga and Pranayam in a large group.And the session always ends "Hasyasan" I,e, LAughing a lot.

I'm not count, how many times i had laughed everyday. But most of the time i'm enjoying every moment with my friends and my mom, because i'm not a rough person to not to smile and god gave me a smiling face... And i love child smile bcoz we can learn how to laugh...

I also love to laugh but know that I don't near as much as I should or would like to. Since I am alone most of the time, there isn't always much to laugh about!! I love being with the grandbabies and laughing with them and I am always getting forwards that causes me laugh out loud they are so funny. And I can always laugh at myself........I do all the time. I'd say I might laugh 5-8 times on a good day.........unless my grandkids are around. Then I couldn't possibly count how many times!!

I love to laugh! I can remember times with my ex or with old friends when i used to litterally laugh my back side off. My facial muscles would be sore the next day. Now if I laugh once during the day I feel fortunate. I have a good sense of humor and I do find things funny in life. I just don't laugh like I used to.

I don't laugh everyday, but, when I do laugh I love those gut wrenching, belly aching laughs that leave me limp! I love comedies, but, I also love horror movies. Laughter truly is the best medicine and I can understand why it would be good for a person's overall mental and physical health. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I laugh all the time, in fact if something gets me down I am more inclined to find something to laugh about so I can forget my troubles and avoid the pain! I don’t know if doing that is a good thing but laughing can’t be bad. My daughter and I are laughing most of the time. Sometimes when s**t happens you may as well laugh, it beats crying!

Hello my friend. Good topic in fact I am already laughing while reading this. For me more or less it won't reach 100 times including this Smile and the world would smiles back at you Cry and you cry alone.... Mobhomeir here...

I must admit while reading this post I could not help but to laugh, not mocking it but stimulated me to laugh. Strange as it may sound. I am going to take this post as sound advice. :)
