Laughter for the Healthcare Professional Healthcare Professionals are some of the bravest, most honorable people in the world! They take care of us when we become ill. They help us to keep a good sense of humor about our situation, to see the positive side. They take care of us when we become old and unable to care for ourselves. They provide us the warm, loving attention we often can't get anywhere else. I salute Healthcare Professionals of all kinds. It takes a special kind of person who can provide tender loving care for those they don't know. Healthcare professionals not only have personal stress just like the rest of us, they have the stress of their patients and the patients’ families, too. That is a LOT of stress! Healthcare professionals know that stress is the #1 cause of dis-ease and being surrounded by illness and injury can take a real toll on their personal health and well-being if they lose their sense of humor. So how can a Laughter Club help the Healthcare Professional? By helping them to relieve their stress. By allowing them a place where it is safe to get silly, be happy, laugh a little, laugh a lot, and let it all hang out! We have so much fun in a laughter club. We talk about "faking it until you make it" for as you know, the brain doesn't know the difference, but I promise you that if you should start out faking it, you won't be doing so for long! Join a laughter club near you today or invite me to hold a laughter club for your healthcare professional group! Believe me, it will benefit you and your patients. The more in touch you are with your own sense of humor, the happier and healthier everyone, including you, is! Humor is a definite must in the healthcare world!
