Isn’t it amazing how contagious laughter is and how much it can change a bad day into a joyous one in a moment?
I am yet to fully grasp the science behind the contagious effect and power of good laughter in one’s life. One thing I do know for certain is that it feels really good, beyond words can express.
I came across a video that showed the contagious power of laughter and how it can brighten someone’s day.
What I realized each time after a burst of good laughter is its incredible power to rejuvenate both the body, mind, and soul. And it’s really cheap, you can find it anywhere, among friends, colleagues and more.
The benefits of laughter are vast from boosting the immune system, relaxing the muscles, aid circulation, and protecting against heart disease. It can also improve mental health, lower anxiety, improve your mood, and foster resilience. Need I forget that laughter strengthens relationships, helps in defusing conflict, and bonding as a team.
I enjoy laughing as much as I can. Very often I find myself laughing over my worries or challenges and it helps me through them.
Not many see the sense in that but it has an incredible impact in my wellbeing and energizes me in that given situation. Laughter is good for your body, mind, and soul.
In a time like this when we are faced with challenges daily, I hope these quotes help you smile through them and experience its incredible power:
If you can laugh in the face of adversity, you’re bullet-proof.
