Never fear laughing out loud anywhere. In public, outdoors, and also indoors. Laughter significantly improves our face value.
A series of studies show the positive impact humor can have. For one, it can reduce stress. When we begin laughing, it doesn’t just lighten our load mentally, it induces physical changes in our body.
Laughter enhances our intake of “oxygen-rich air,” increasing our brain’s release of endorphins. Laughter has also been shown to boost productivity. Regardless of whether you are laughing with someone, or at someone, just do it and let the rest of the world go by and say bye!
A group of researchers found that after watching a comedy clip, employees were 10 percent more productive than their counterparts. And another group of researchers found that cracking jokes at work can even make people seem more competent. So, within the bounds of decency, laughter on the whole is a good thing, and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
When it comes to happiness, it is not about wealth. Most agree it's about health, laughter and relationships.
Go on, laugh out loud. It’s good 👍 Laughter just might be the most contagious of all emotional experiences. Although laughter is one of the distinguishing features of human beings, little is known about the mechanisms behind it. Laughter is not limited to communicating mirth. It can be triggered by embarrassment and other social discomforts. Laughter may have evolved to facilitate bonding across large groups of people. In primates, the grooming process releases chemicals that help build social bonds; humans eventually came to live in groups that were larger than the grooming process allowed. Laughter, as well as speech, enables us to bond quickly and easily with a large community.
Given all the research showing that lower stress benefits employees and reduces absenteeism, the freedom to laugh seems not just good, but necessary at work. A group of researchers even found that after watching a comedy clip, employees were 10 percent more productive than their counterparts.
