Laughter is the best medicine…

Sounds like a flippant social media meme comment but it’s true… laughing has amazing physical and mental health benefits, such as:

 😆boosting immunity
 😆relaxing muscles
 😆decreasing pain
 😆lowering stress hormones
 😆improving cardiovascular health
 😆reducing anxiety
 😆building resilience
 😆increasing life satisfaction
 😆improving mood

If you do one thing today, laugh.

Plus laughter burns calories. 10-15 mins laughing a day burns around 40 calories! It’s not exactly a replacement for going to the gym and healthy diets, but hey, the benefits add up.

… and if you’re living with grief or any other trauma, don’t feel guilty about laughing. Sometimes when we are experiencing a loss of any sort we actively stop ourselves from feeling joy, for fear of judgement or the guilt that we should not feel happy when we are feeling so sad and in pain. But hear this… you can hurt, heal and be happy all at the same time. It is possible and it is allowed. So give yourself permission.

Change the narrative and laugh in places where you have cried.

Bring some joy back into your life and PERFORM at your best.

What joy can you bring into your life today and who can you laugh with?
