In Robin William’s movie, Hook it took just one happy thought to access Peter Pan’s powers to fly.  After becoming a boring, dreadful adult Peter Pan became a sullen, boring being devoid of regular laughter.  He had to re-discover his happy to be at his best to rescue his children from the evil pirate.  Hmm, sounds like a good strategy plan to me.

It can be so easy to loose sight of that which gives us a good belly laugh.  Happiness is healing.  Once you get a taste of the happy’s, it’s hard to resist another turn.  For some it takes practice, but it’s worth the effort.  When you are feeling joyful the body releases more of the “feel good” hormone called serotonin.  Acupuncture also stimulates the release of “feel good” hormones.  When serotonin and other neurotransmitters are released not only do you feel a bit euphoric, you are better able to deal with pain and adopt an optimistic outlook.

Food for thought:  What does inner happiness mean to you?  What makes you organically happy?  How powerful do you feel when you are joyful?  How can you make this a practice?  Remember…happy thoughts keep you and your spirits lifted!  Maybe you need to rent Peter Pan to remember   Or, contact Wellbody Innovations for healing consult to get your body happy.
