The power of laughter is paramount. As a release of all those feel-good endorphins, laughter makes us feel alive, more youthful and happier. When we feel happier we are healthier plus it gets us breathing more deeply. It universally connects us as well on a social level. We just don’t let loose, let our spirits soar and laugh enough as adults, so give it a try. Laughing, like exercising, gets better with practice. Challenge: Purposefully take note of your laughter (or lack thereof). Intentionally seek out ways to laugh. Maybe even attend a laughter yoga class to get things started. You can "fake it 'till you make it" to get things rolling.
