DID YOU KNOW: laughter truly is the most best medicine!
We all know that the construction industry can be stressful. Luckily, over recent years we’ve started to take our mental health concerns much more seriously.
Laughter is one of the best ways to reduce stress, lower cortisol and increase endorphins. But adults only laugh 20x per day, compared to children who laugh over 300x a day. So, let’s add more laughter to our lives!
Laughing yoga, also known as laughter yoga, involves a series of movement and breathing exercises to promote deliberate laughter.
It’s used as a remedy for physical, psychological, and spiritual ailments, as advocates believe that intentional (simulated) laughter can provide benefits equal to those of spontaneous laughter (e.g., laughing at a joke).
As adults become busy with life, activities that promote laughter can go to the wayside. As a result, laughing yoga was designed to teach people how to laugh on cue rather than relying on people or things to bring them joy.
I host a live laughter yoga session for the construction industry (via Zoom) every Friday at 4pm. Contact me for all the details.
