A Good Laugh Feels Like Therapy

Emotions can weigh me down like heavy backpacks. Stress, anger, and worry accumulate until even minor challenges seem unbearable. That’s when laughter shows up as a release valve.

Have you ever laughed so hard you cried?

In those moments, it’s as if your body says, “Let’s unload all this pressure.” Your chest loosens, your breathing steadies, and suddenly the world feels a little less overwhelming. Laughter reminds us not to be prisoners of our emotions.

It doesn’t mean ignoring pain. It means permitting myself to lighten the load. After all, laughter is contagious. Watch a baby laugh, and you can’t help but smile. Hang around friends who see the humor in life, and you’ll feel your own burdens lift.

When anger flares, laughter helps reset perspective. When sadness drags us down, laughter whispers, “There’s still joy to be found.” And when stress ties me in knots, laughter untangles them.

So, whenever emotions start to press in, I look for a funny clip, call a friend who makes me smile, or even laugh at my own mistakes. Laughter is more than entertainment; it’s therapy I don’t have to schedule. Relief is only a chuckle away.

 “When emotions overflow, let laughter be the release valve.”

Watch for the blind spots.
