My vision is blurry – I need glasses.

My brain is foggy – what do I need?

What with varifocals, special computer glasses, reading glasses, and blue light glasses.  The opticians can give us so much “equipment” to help our eyes.

What about our brains, though?

That brain fog or overwhelm stops us from being creative in life, work, perhaps making us feel like life is drudgery, our brains are rusty, or we blame it on age?

Is there any “equipment” we can buy or do to help our brains work better?  Crossword puzzles and books help.  These won’t put more oxygen into our brains or work the right side, creative side of our brains, unfortunately.

However, hearty laughter does!

You’ll need the type that stimulates the abdomen and, with diaphragmatic breathing, gets you out of breath.  Sometimes, it makes your stomach muscles and cheeks ache.  That’s the magic laughter tonic to put more oxygen inside you.  Incidentally, I love the way it activates your parasympathetic nervous system too to a calmer, balanced state.

With all the fresh oxygen to your brain, you can think, focus, and become creative.  Brilliant!

If you’re like me and suffer from brain fog, then Laughter Yoga is just the ticket to feed the brain with a real boost.  Wake me up before you go-go time.  Turn on your brain with some Laughter Yoga (for at least 10 minutes) in the morning or any time when you need it.  On your own, it can be harder to do than in a group, by the way! (that’s where Serious Laughter can help).

All that fresh oxygen, along with those laughter exercises, allows your brain to become creative, too.  You’ll feel rejuvenated and motivated.

Does laughing intentionally sound a bit strange?

Think about it.  If you were to go for a run, all that fresh oxygen goes into your brain and body.  Enabling your brain to work better.

Let’s call it hydration for your brain.

Running isn’t accessible to everyone, and sometimes we can’t fit it into our day, every day.

Hearty laughter and Laughter Yoga are there for us all – learning to do it daily and for it to become a habit is definitely a great way to hydrate and energise your creative brain (another blog on that to come later!).
