INSPIRATION Compiled by Angela Mutiso Laughter GLADDENS THE HEART 46 MAY - JUNE 2018
INSPIRATION It is a beautiful thing Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you to release anger and be more forgiving. With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use. (helpguide. org) As a builder, Bertrand was accustomed to urgent calls demanding immediate attention. So when he received a pressing plea to build a stall for an international trade fair, he was more than prepared to start work straightaway. Besides, he had Laughter actually eases conflict, creates rapport, and permits you to take yourself lightly. Even among our politicians, families, associates and friends, there are a good number who laugh to ease difficult situations. experienced a dry spell and was up to this point, not sure how he was going to meet his end month commitments when they fell due. The job he had been called for, entailed putting up a clothes shop as fast as possible; he was to do this, before the gates opened for shoppers; and this was a week from the time of the call. A temporary structure was what was needed because permanent structures had all been taken up; he did not have enough time to put up a long-lasting one anyway. The job required skill, speed (and I dare add) lots of laughter. Humor was necessary as tempers at Bertrand’s station flared often among workers who did not know each other and had to work day and night to meet the fast approaching deadline. Bertrand unfailingly reported at the workstation every day to supervise his workers. They laid stones, put the requisite, walls, windows, ramps, doors and shelves. But when he arrived with a lorry on the last day to do the finishing touches, he was crudely told that entry for constructors was not allowed; he could therefore not be let in to complete his project. Nothing he said to the tenacious gatekeepers could get them to agree. And just when it seemed like there was no end in sight to this ugly confrontation, he unexpectedly roared with laughter. He remembered that laughter can alleviate conflict. Before long, the gatekeepers too were breathless with laughter. Needless to say, this sudden gust of laughter at the peak of tension, had done the trick. Everyone thawed and was ready to help. The gates were gleefully opened. A relieved Bertrand, still laughing, got his workmates to finish off the job as he cracked jokes to keep them energized and active. Laughter has been known to get people out of vexing situations as you have gathered from Bertrand’s case. Here are some thoughts to think about from helpguide; nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load. It MAY - JUNE 2018 47
