Humor is infectious. The
sound of roaring laughter is
far more contagious than any
cough, sniffle, or sneeze.
When laughter is shared, it
binds people together and
increases happiness and
intimacy. Laughter also
triggers healthy physical
changes in the body. Humor
and laughter strengthen your
immune system, boost your
energy, diminish pain, and
protect you from the
damaging effects of stress.
Best of all, this priceless
medicine is fun, free, and
easy to use.
Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring
your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes,
connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for
surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.
• Laughter relaxes the whole body: A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension
and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
• Laughter boosts the immune system: Laughter decreases stress hormones and
increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your
resistance to disease.
• Laughter triggers the release of endorphins: the body’s natural feel-good
chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even
temporarily relieve pain.
• Laughter protects the heart: Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and
increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other
cardiovascular problems.

Watch a funny movie or TV show.
Go to a comedy club.
Read the funny pages.
Seek out funny people.
Share a good joke or a funny story.
Check out your bookstore’s humor section.
Host game night with friends.
Play with a pet.
Go to a “laughter yoga” class.
Goof around with children.
Do something silly.
Make time for fun activities (e.g. bowling, miniature golfing,
karaoke).
Laugh at yourself. Share your embarrassing moments. The best way to take yourself less
seriously is to talk about times when you took yourself too seriously.
Attempt to laugh at situations rather than bemoan them. Look for the humor in a bad situation,
and uncover the irony and absurdity of life. This will help improve your mood and the mood of
those around you.
Surround yourself with reminders to lighten up. Keep a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a
funny poster in your office. Choose a computer screensaver that makes you laugh. Frame photos
of you and your family or friends having fun.
Keep things in perspective. Many things in life are beyond your control—particularly the
behavior of other people. While you might think taking the weight of the world on your
shoulders is admirable, in the long run it’s unrealistic, unproductive, unhealthy, and even
egotistical.
Deal with your stress. Stress is a major impediment to humor and laughter.
Pay attention to children and emulate them. They are the experts on playing, taking life lightly,
and laughing.
World Laughter Day takes place on the first
Sunday of May of every year .The first
celebration was on January 10, 1998, in
Mumbai, India, and was arranged by Dr.
Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide
Laughter Yoga movement.
Laughter Yoga says: Laughter is a positive and
powerful emotion that has all the ingredients
required for individuals to change themselves
and to change the world in a peaceful and
positive way.
The day is now celebrated worldwide
Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea –
simple and profound. An exercise
routine, it is sweeping the world and is
a complete wellbeing workout.
