Laughter is a highly effective form of aerobic exercise, providing internal jogging, thus stimulating the circulation and respiration. Laughing brings spontaneity, fun and creativity and brings us to the present moment. Laughter bypasses the thinking left part of our brain and taps into our right brain and our creativity.
Laughter needs not be dependent on the use of comedy or jokes or your mood. Laughter can occur spontaneously, without a sense of humour, if you let it happen. You don't need any specific ability or skill, just a willingness to laugh. Anyone can laugh - it's easy. But are you getting enough of it ?
