Funny Inspirational Quotes
The greatest aspect of funny inspirational quotes is that it combines two of the best worlds together to give you double the benefits -- a good laugh and being inspired simultaneously.
Like inspiration, humor can lift us up, boost mood, reduce feelings of hopelessness, and help us discover a new perspective, all of which can fill us with hope, and make life more manageable, enabling us to feel more capable of dealing with the issues in our lives and achieve a higher quality of life.
Our day to day challenges, stressors, and frustrations can be seen in a new light and be viewed in a lighter, more insightful, and objective manner. It reminds us not to take life too seriously or the misfortunes that come our way too personally. Dilemmas or hurdles which appear too great to overcome feel manageable.
The right words at the right time can be nourishment for the body, mind, and spirit and even serve as a life jacket when we are in the midst of a stormy phase of life.
Laughter is the antidote for emotional distress, instantly overriding anxiety, depression, and anger and replacing it with joy, peace of mind, and relaxation. A good laugh can temporarily divert our attention away from any difficulties or suffering we may endure, increase feelings of well-being, and even activate our will to live.
After a good laugh, everything feels brighter, lighter, fresh, and new again. Take this quote for example, which sums it up so succinctly.
"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air, and you." - Langston Hughes
Laughter can also lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, support heart health, boost the immune system, improve brain function, relieve pain by releasing endorphins, and increase antibodies that protect us from infection.
Wow, isn't it astonishing that something so simple is packed with such immense benefits? And getting your dose of laughter by reading some funny inspirational quotes only takes a few minutes to achieve and it costs you absolutely nothing.
Use them to find the humor in your difficult situations. Instead of directing your attention to how awful something might be, turn it around, and look at how ridiculous it is, and laugh in its face.
So take a break, treat yourself, and fill your mind with some insightful words of wisdom that will not only lift you up but provide a nice chuckle as well.
When we laugh and have fun with others, it strengthens our emotional and social bonds with these individuals and vice versa. So be sure to share my funny inspirational quotes with your friends, on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, or by email.
