Why are kids so stressed today?
Kids today are much more "stressed" and they are much less like "kids" than when I was growing up. I think that is why we see so many who are prescribed anxiety and depression medicine. I know that some of it may have to do with nutrition but I think a lot has to do with what is expected of the children of today.
You don't see all the kids outside playing with their friends like they used to. The consequences are many but we have a higher rate of childhood obesity (due to lack of exercise as well as poor nutrition), increased type 2 diabetes in children, and increased anxiety, depression, and a myriad of other diagnoses.
Today's goal is to get your kids outside and play - if you can get other kids, too, that's even better. Everyone can play something fun and non-competitive. If the wind is right, fly a kite : ) Have fun and laugh - enjoy the day!! Just be and don't worry about "doing" just for today! See how it feels and let me know.
Have an incredible day!!

World Laughter Day 2011
Today is the 2011 World Laughter Day. Laughter Yoga International is set up to help spread world peace through laughter.
In honor of the day, try to laugh more. If you find yourself thinking about anything that is stressful or makes you upset, laugh. That's right, laugh. Laughter yoga teaches us to laugh for no reason. Our bodies naturally respond by releasing "feel good" chemicals into our body even when we are faking the laughter!! So try it. Laugh in the shower. Laugh in your car. Laugh for no reason!! When you are laughing and feeling good, you will be at peace. When you are at peace, you will show peacefulness to others. Enjoy the day and laugh. Laugh for all of us to hear!!
Have a fabulous, joyful, laughter-filled day!!
Namaste!
