Laughter

Challenge #26
Everyone can choose to laugh, or break out in spontaneous laughter. All humans and even some animals can laugh. It's free, it's effective and it is therapeutic. Studies have shown so far that laughing's benefits can include deep relaxation, an increase in pain tolerance and immunity as well as be the remedy for many other ailments. Feel good hormones are thought to be released from the trigger of laughter muscles throughout our bodies sending a signal to the brain. I challenge you to laugh at least once throughout your day. That headache may go away naturally without having to take pain relievers, you may begin to feel more relaxed sooner, you may find yourself telling jokes more. Allow yourself the fun to laugh at yourself or find the humour in something once a day and notice the changes you will begin to feel....
