Life is a serious thing.  It’s full of ups and downs and twists and turns that sometimes make you feel like you are on a rollercoaster.  There are times that get us down and times that require greater focus but if you’ve ever been accused of taking life too seriously, perhaps it’s time to recognise the grave effects that that can have.  After all, having fun and enjoying life is not all about having fun and enjoying life, but it’s also about looking after your mental and physical health.  In fact, taking life too seriously inevitably leads to stress – and stress is a killer.
