How
does laughter help a person through the divorce process? Laughter
is a natural coping mechanism. It relaxes muscle tension and causes
release of endorphin-like substances in our brains that provides
natural pain relief and a sense of well-being. After a good laugh,
most people feel less anxious and stressed. Laughter works by
providing a "time-out" from worries, and this brief respite often
helps us shift perspective so we see situations in a new way.
Could this be helpful? I would think so, especially when you have
your day in court with your soon to be "ex".Is that possible?
Can a person actually laugh their way through a divorce? According
to Joanie Winberg, a Certified Business/Life Coach and Certified
Laughter Coach, who says while laughing, the answer to those questions
is a resounding "YES"! Hahahaha!Divorce is an extremely difficult
time in a person's life as well as an emotional roller coaster.
Winberg has been divorced for 10 years and having gone through
the divorce process, she remembers it being anything but a laughing
matter.The National Center for Health Statistics in the United
States reports the marriage rate at 7.8% per thousand total population
and the divorce rate at 4.0% per thousand (over 50%). To give
back and help others achieve a life with more ease, less effort
and lots of laughter (and maybe less divorce), Winberg conducts
laughter workshops that consist of fun, laughing sessions combined
with tools and techniques attendees can learn and implement immediately
into their daily lives. Changes occur almost instantaneously!For
