Reduce blood pressure .
Relieve pain by causing the body to produce its own natural painkillers .
Increase your quality of life . Laughter is a positive energy , which helps people to connect with other people more quickly and improve their relationships .
Adding more laughter to your day can make everything flow more easily and joyfully .

Here are 5 easy ways to bring more laughter into your life .

1 . Practice “ fake ” laughing for a few minutes each day . Driving in the car or while taking a shower can be a great place to do this . If for no other reason than the priceless looks you get from other people as they drive by or from your family as they wonder what the heck you are up to in the shower .
2 . Bookmark pages on the Internet or check out YouTube to find short video clips that make you laugh . Animals making babies laugh are pretty irresistible for me , but decide what your own sweet spot is .
3 . Find a “ laughter buddy ” ( as my daughter calls them ), and make plans to connect and laugh together .
4 . Schedule time for a laughter session with your family . Pro-tip : it ’ s much easier to get younger kids to participate with you ( teenagers tend to be a little less open to this ). Creating this time can strengthen your family relationships and give you more moments of joy .
5 . Visit www . LaughterYoga . com to find a laughter yoga class near you .
Enjoy .
