“Laughter is more than just a pleasurable activity...When people laugh together, they tend to talk and touch more and to make eye contact more frequently.” Gretchen RubinHeart Leap is a reader-supported publication.
I watched a documentary a few years ago about a recruitment exercise for “agents” to carry out dangerous missions in occupied Norway during World War 2. The volunteers were put through many challenging exercises over a few days. When the leader was asked what he was looking for in the men he would choose , his reply “a sense of humour first , as that will get you through anything “.
Being able to laugh and see the funny side is a resilience superpower. Thanks Suzy for this reminder 💖
Citing movie quotes with my son never gets old. We often send texts back and forth with quotes and memes. For example... “So, good news…I saw a dog today” or "I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite." - Buddy the Elf
I love Elf!!! My favourite Christmas movie. My son's one to me is: 'YOu can't handle the truth' - He actually used that line when he was in tricky teen mode and now I tease him mercilessly with it now.
