From daring diamondbacks hanging around my neck to societal expectations giving me a squeeze, turns out, I had more in common with Pavlov's pups than I thought.

Then came COVID-19, flipping everything on its head. My nursing gig, once a recipe for burnout, became the secret ingredient in a recipe for rediscovery.

Growing up surrounded by the annual Rattle Snake Round-Up I grew up in a small town in South West Oklahoma, you know, the kind that's a few hours away from any big cities. If you have ever visited this part of the country, you know it's flat – you can see the rainstorm coming from […]

We all know that laughter is the best medicine - right? But what exactly happens to our brain chemistry when we hear a good joke or funny story?

Well, as it turns out, the act of laughing can have some pretty profound effects on our brain and body. But just how does comedy change the chemistry in your brain, and can it actually improve your mood?

Hold on to your funny bone!😄🧠💥 When you indulge in a good laugh, your brain throws a party in multiple areas, including the ones linked to rewards, motivation, social bonding, and even pain relief.

With each joke, your brain releases a cascade of happiness chemicals like dopamine and endorphins.

These tiny neuro-heroes are like your personal stress busters: saying "adios" to tension, pain, and stress, and leaving you floating on a cloud of pure bliss. It's like winning the lottery, but without the money.

Wait, there's more! Laughter isn't just tickling your brain—it's also giving your body fist bumps. Blood pressure bows down, heart health gets a standing ovation, and the immune system throws a confetti parade. Even your digestion gets the memo and muscles wave goodbye to knots and kinks, a symphony of relief from the clutches of stress.

Ready to spice up your routine? Inject a dose of laughter with some quick quips or hilarious tales. Just a dash of daily laughter is like seasoning for your soul, flavoring your mood and wellness.

Humor is a personal thing. What cracks you up might leave someone else cringing.

Keep your funny bone limber with these tips:

Find Your Funny - What tickles your funny bone? Is it a wisecrack, an irreverent pun, or perhaps some zany slapstick? Finding the kind of humor that suits you will make it easy to reach for a laugh.

Get Creative - Laughter is all about breaking out of the ordinary and exploring new ways of experiencing life’s moments—think of it as having a little fun with your routine.

Hang Out - Look for people and places that get you laughing: some groups bring the humor, while others are more low-key. Find what fits you best and share in the joy!

Swap Jokes - Get creative and joke around with friends or family—the recipes for laughter are endless.

Don't Take Yourself so Seriously - Nobody’s perfect, so why not let your hair down? Enjoy this moment and laugh.

Just Laugh - When all else fails, belly laugh your way to contentment. Watch a funny video or read a short quote and let the good vibes flow!

From comedy clubs to witty banter, laughter is the best medicine for mind and body alike. So go ahead and find your fun—make it part of your daily routine

Unleash the power of laughter for a mood makeover! It's not just about giggles; it's about rewiring your brain and nourishing your body.

By adding a pinch of humor to your routine—be it jokes, tales, or shows—you're inviting joy to dance in and stress to fly out.
