Why is self-esteem important?

Every individual needs to have self-esteem, quite simply because it affects every aspect of one’s life. Having a good self-esteem is essential, because:

It helps you feel good about yourself and everything you do.
It translates into belief in yourself, giving you the courage to try new things.
It allows you to respect and honour yourself, even when you make mistakes. And when you respect yourself, others will respect you too.
When you have a good self-esteem, you will know that you’re smart enough to make your own decisions.
When you honour yourself, you will make choices that nourish your mind and body.
You will value your safety, your feelings and health. Therefore, you will choose to make healthier eating choices, exercising, or taking time off to do something you like (without feeling guilty about not doing something for somebody else).
If you do not have a good self-esteem, then it’s time you worked on having a better image of yourself – thereby improving the overall quality of your life.

The Benefits of Laughter

What can laughter do?:

Lower blood pressure
Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood
Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles
Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline
Increase the response of tumor- and disease-killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells
Defend against respiratory infections–even reducing the frequency of colds–by immunoglobulon in saliva.
Increase memory and learning; in a study at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humor during instruction led to increased test scores.

Improve alertness, creativity, and memory

Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.

Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

How to Think Positive

Negativity can affect mental and physical health. Research suggests that it has been responsible for even causing cancers and heart attacks.
By being aware of one’s thoughts, negativity can be managed in a way that stops it from causing damage.
When faced by constant negative thoughts, ask yourself if they serve any purpose or help you.
Learn to take the stock of the situation instead of falling into self-blaming or self-loathing.
