Hello lovely people in the Mindfulness Community ❤️


Let’s talk a moment about the benefits of laughter. We all know that laughter can take us out of our worries temporarily in an instant but I was surprised when I read about all the benefits it can actually do for our bodies and minds.

Physical health benefits of laughter:

  • Boosts immunity

  • Lowers stress hormones

  • Decreases pain

  • Relaxes your muscles

  • Prevents heart disease

Mental health benefits of laughter:

  • Adds joy and zest to life

  • Eases anxiety and tension

  • Relieves stress

  • Improves mood

  • Strengthens resilience

Social benefits of laughter:

  • Strengthens relationships

  • Attracts others to us

  • Enhances teamwork

  • Helps defuse conflict

  • Promotes group bonding

Stand up comedians make me laugh. I like Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Deray Davis, Ali Wong, and more.

What are things you find funny and that make you laugh?.....My Dog & Husband make me laugh regularly almost everyday... But also lots of old sitcoms that I grew up watching in the 80's and 90's. When I watch re-runs of them today, they always make me laugh.


Would you consider actively exploring things (watching funny video clips or reading funny stories) that could make you laugh?.....I'm not much of a reader, but every now and then I do come across some funny stuff.... I'm more of a video clip person. And have actively watched many that made laugh~

I think the things that make me laugh most are silly puns and 'dad jokes', as generic as it sounds they just really get me giggling. 😊

I really enjoy watching videos and clips.

I truly can feel my mind feels lighter and it definitely helps with stresses that I have.

I enjoy watching videos of little kids they are so cute and most of the time they don't even realize that they are being funny.

I'm not a big reader but sometimes I enjoy funny stories.


Laughing definitely helps but I never knew all the benefits
