Let laughter possess you

On this day in 1975, Saturday Night Live debuted and has aired almost 1k episodes since its debut, making it one of the longest-running network TV programs in the U.S.

SNL’s birthday reminds us that everyone loves to laugh. Especially on the weekends.

As you breathe easier this weekend, ponder these facts about laughter…

Laughter decreases levels of cortisol and epinephrine, the body’s main stress hormones. AND, it triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

Today, laugh.

YouTube some favorite funny movie clips, stand-up comics – or SNL vignettes – and get your abs quivering. Or, call up your funniest friends and relatives and dial-up the laughing!

If you’re still too tight from the week’s stresses…laugh anyway.

It’s impossible to pick just one quintessential SNL skit to celebrate their birthday. (Certainly, you have your favorite scenes and characters!)

But given MySalesDay’s continual attempt to pump you up, why not check in with motivational speaker Matt Foley (Chris Farley…of course); he’ll fire you up without a doubt.
