Movies As Therapy Part I


One of the advantages we have in our modern reality is the ability to watch movies.
The modern version of the storyteller has the power to fulfill many tasks.
The first one is the power to ignite our humor. On days when you can't laugh about yourself, or the circumstances at hand, it can be utterly therapeutic to watch a good comedy and to remember that life isn't as serious as you make it out to be.

Here is a list of comedies that I have enjoyed:
1. Shrek -Parts 1,2,3 and 4
2. Imagine That!
3. The Other Guys
4. Tropic Thunder
5. The Men Who Stare At Goats
6. Burn After Reading
7. Nacho Libre
8. Ghost Town
9. Death At A Funeral
10. The Heartbreak Kid

Remember laughing is healing and powerful and never a waste of your time.
There have been plenty of sticky situations in my life where a breakthrough occurred only after I surrendered with humor. A good movie can be one of the ways to take you there. A funny friend of course, might do even better, and let's not forget the power of the internal comedian.
