The Power of Laughter

Can you remember the last time you laughed- and I mean laughed really hard? Was it at work?
Laughter is good medicine. In the short term, #laughter enhances intake of oxygen-rich air to stimulate your heart, lungs and muscles. It releases endorphins and calms stress response. Laughter can also reduce the physical symptoms of stress. Longer term it can improve your immune system, help relieve pain and improve your mood. Laughter helps to connect us with others- something in short supply during isolation.
So, the challenge is to find ways to incorporate laughter into your life and increase the times you laugh this week. Are you up to the challenge?
