The natural endorphins released by laughter create a swell of good feelings, binding us more closely with those we share it with. Family and friends are more dear to us when we can share a good laugh with them. A healthy laugh is as intimate as it is all-embracing, enabling us to not only draw closer to those around us but to also diffuse tension and conflict.
Using laugh as medicine is also a proven way to pull us away from depression and towards optimism and hope. The feelings of hopelessness and despair are chased away by a good laugh, giving those of us who may have been feeling down a chance to escape our worry.
One of the easiest ways to experience a healthy laugh is to watch a great comedy. We have a few suggestions for you if you’re in the mood for a little laughing therapy.
