Week of May 18th

LAUGHTER

During this quarantine we are all trying to navigate our stress. Laughter is a great form of stress relief. Whether you are cackling from a sitcom, guffawing from a meme, or LOLing from a text, laughter can relieve your tensions.

Human beings benefit physiologically, psychologically, socially and spiritually from laughter. The human brain benefits from spontaneous laughter and self induced laughter. In the short term, laughing can soothe, reduce stress and activate organs. In the long term, laughing can relieve pain, improve relationships, and improve your immune system. Overall data also suggests that laughter improves a personal satisfaction.

This week Inspirations hopes to celebrate the power of laughter.
