One of my favourite pick-me-ups is also one of the more obvious. I LOVE comedians. There are so many across social media whose clips give me joy and make me giggle. If you need a pick-me-up, searching one comedian clip can bring you a whole lot more on explore feeds or for-you pages.
When I need something pure and soothing to my soul, I have one comedian that I go back to over and over. Jeanne Robertson was a comedian from North Carolina who was not only a comedian, but a motivational speaker, Miss Congeniality in the 1963 Miss America competition and a 6’2” college basketball player! She has many videos and clips of her comedy across the internet and each one makes me laugh endlessly. She’s known for “finding the humour in unexpected everyday situations” and tells stories of her “left-brained” husband and hilarious friends. In 2010, Jeanne had a clip go viral on YouTube, Don’t Send a Man to the Grocery Store but my personal favourite is either Don’t Bungee Jump Naked! or We Don’t Sell Vanilla Milkshakes. Give them a watch or find your own to go back to when you need a little chuckle!
The idea of Feel Good Fridays started because we believe the simple things that bring a smile to our face are some of the best things. Smiling and laughing have been proven to reduce stress in our lives! When we smile or laugh it releases neurotransmitters in our brain called endorphins, which are in charge of making us happy and helping to relieve stress.
