Bit over it? Have a laugh!

Laugh as much as you can, whenever you can, and learn to laugh at yourself too.

As the saying goes – laughter is the best medicine.  Did you know that even if you force yourself to laugh by faking it for long enough, at some point you will genuinely start laughing? 

Research into the effects of laughter show it activates endorphins and other feel-good neurotransmitters in your brain. This aids in strengthening your immune system, helps boost your energy and diminishes pain and also protects you from the effects of stress.

It can instantly lift your mood, which relaxes the body and often this feeling can stay with you long after the laughter subsides.

So, if you’re feeling a little meh or you’re a bit over everything, watch a funny movie, catch-up with a friend who always makes you laugh or watch some funny cat videos – whatever works for you.  Just get laughing!
