STEPS TO A SERENE LIFESTYLE: Three. LAUGHTER

 


LAUGHTER CAN HELP TO TURN A BAD DAY INTO A GOOD ONE! I know, sometimes there really is nothing to laugh at. But this is where friends and family are at their best. At the worst moment, someone may make a joke, thus making you laugh. And sometimes your worries seem a little less.

So laugh! Laughing is said to increase the amount of oxygen-rich air you inhale. That, in turn, increases the oxytocin released by your brain, helping you  feel more relaxed and less anxious. [1]
