Take Time To Laugh, You’ll Feel Better!
Share a funny meme, make someone laugh, give a compliment, buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Spread a little joy today.
A good laugh, if sustained for 20-30 minutes, has been shown to reduce the subjective experience of pain. It has also been shown to decrease heart rate and blood pressure, relax muscle tension and is associated with improved immune functioning. And laughter can even strengthen and tighten your abs.
Laughing increases your emotional well-being.
The increased neurotransmitters of serotonin and dopamine found with laughter increase our emotional well-being and mental health. Mood can be better regulated with a regular guffaw. The overall physiological calming effects of laughter can also help ease anxiety.
Laughing benefits your cognitive function.
Even a short bout of laughter during the workday can allow people to think more clearly and creatively. Taking a few minutes here and there during your day to look at funny memes, trade “dad jokes” with your colleagues, or think about something funny that happened to you or in a movie can translate to increased cognitive function and productivity.
