They say laughter is the best medicine, and in the case of alleviating stress, this may very well be true. Research has found that laughter promotes some serious, mood-boosting benefits, including instant stress and tension relief. This week, make laughter a part of your Monday Refresh.
Here are some ways to get started:
- Watch a scene from your favourite comedy on YouTube.
- Try laughing for no particular reason – invite a friend or family member to do this with you and you’ll double the laughs.
- Think back to an incident or joke that had you laughing to tears. The memory alone might have you weeping all over again.
