HOW TO STYLE KNITTED MIDI DRESS AND WHY YOU SHOULD LAUGH MORE

Hello beautiful people,hope you are all doing great.

Today's post is a bit different and as the title suggest its ;Why you should consider laughing more.

There's a popular saying that laughter is the best medicine. I’m sure you've heard about it, Right?

Laughter is sometimes described as a manifestation of joy and expression of mirth. It’s making sounds and movements with the face and body that show joy, amusement and contentment. Laughter causes the release of endorphins which are the human body natural pain relief hormones. It relieves tension, anxiety, shame and guilt and helps one maintain a positive attitude even in negative situations. Additionally, it is able to raise energy levels thereby completely getting rid of depression. It helps reduce stress that comes in the course of your daily activities. It also improves your emotional and mental health and ultimately creates a sense of well-being within you.

People laugh for various reasons but the word of God gives us insight into the spiritual benefits of laughter. Proverbs 17 verse 22 says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” New International Version (NIV). In other words, wonderful healing power is unleashed every time you laugh! Although laughter is a psychological response to humor, it doesn't always have to be initiated by an external influence or condition. It can spring up from inside you and burst forth on the outside.

 I know sometimes it's not easy for things to be always merry so that you are laughing, or you have that joy inside of you. Sometimes you get to feel disappointed, feel down, but we all have the power to choose whether to be happy or get controlled by the circumstances surrounding us. Smile and laugh more.Smiling is the beginning of laughter, count your blessings, make a list and make an effort to consider the beautiful things you already have in your life. The simple act of considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter. When you hear laughter, move towards it, people are very happy to share something funny always because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feel the humor in it. Spend time with fun, playful people, these are people who laugh easily, both at themselves and at life’s absurdities and who routinely find humor in everyday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious.Surround yourself with reminders to lighten up, keep things in perspective to eliminate stress. Many things are beyond our control, but we can all choose to make the best of most situations and find the positive in every one of them.

Back to the outfit, today, I’m styling my knitted midi dress in navy blue.

This dress was bought locally in our town stores(World Business Center, Nairobi)  and is one of the many I have loved to wear during the colder days. Totally a must-have to keep chic in cold weather. 

Recently I have seen a wide range of knitted dresses including ribbed midi styles, short cable knit dresses and distressed options for a grungier take on the trend. Styling this outfit is fun you can just pair with knee high boots and a tote bag or over tights and accessorized with a choker and a pair of hoop earrings for an on-trend ensemble.I wore this dress when the sun was out and I just threw in my flat sandals (Town Stalls-Nairobi) for a laid back look to complete the look .

Whether you’re heading out for the evening or just want to look super stylish during the day running  few errands , a jumper dress or knitted dress is the go-to trend. Feed your need today and shop this dress from your favorite stores.
