While many people recognize that stress can be detrimental to one’s health, it can also potentially lead to more severe issues than the commonly known results of stress: including sleep irregularity, irritability, and headaches. Stress affects us both physically and emotionally, and can even have long term effects. For this reason, many individuals as well as companies have opted for wellness programs such as chair massage, yoga, and walking clubs to minimize the effects of stress.
Laughter, an amazing medicine for “the blues,” can not only make us feel better but can also significantly reduce stress and mental strain. Laughter can also boost your immune system and help diminish pain WHILE boosting your mood. Laughter can actually help us feel physically better as well as emotionally better.
By seeking out positive situations of relaxation that are conducive to laughter, you can significantly reduce stress in your life and improve your health (while also working against a common precursor to cardiovascular disease). So, go attend a funny movie, get lunch with some hilarious friends, and find ways to relax at work (especially when the environment is experiencing a particularly stressful season). Laugh it off – it’ll do you a world of good!
