Laughter Workshop from unitedmind.co.uk

Humour can be infectious and is one of the most wonderful things you can share with others. Laughter is an essential activity that binds people together and creates strong relationships. Just think how someone else can cheer you up if you are in a bad mood by sharing funny stories with you or just reminding you how many positive things there are to enjoy in life. Laughter really is the best medicine and it has been proved to strengthen your immune system and boost your energy levels.

Reduce Stress

Studies have shown that looking on the bright side of life can reduce stress. Learning how to find the humorous side of difficult and unpleasant situations can diminish negative feelings such as anger, embarrassment and guilt. Laughter can protect you from the damaging effects of long-term stress which is a major factor of illness and depression in the highly pressurised society of modern life. If you find it difficult to see the bright side of life and tend to take a very negative approach to challenging situations then there are a number of steps you can take. Laughter workshops are available which can help you to learn how to relax and take a new, more humorous look at life. Also there may be a particular problem or experience in your life that is bringing you down. You could try talking to a professional counsellor to help find ways to resolve this issue so that you can move on and take a more positive approach to the future.

Relationships

It is too easy to find fault with people and harbour ill feelings and resentments in situations when no one is really to blame. You can ease the burden on relationships by taking a lighter, more relaxed approach. Humour helps you see that many problems in life really are not worth stressing over and can be easily resolved if you just take the time to talk things through with others. Being able to laugh easily with your close ones will help you all to approach problems with a grounded and sensible outlook. This can enhance your interactions with others and create healthy physical and emotional relationships. Laughter and good humour is also a very attractive feature and will help you to make new more friends easily.

Better Health

Laughter literally helps you to relax. Studies have shown that a good hearty laugh will ease away all the tension you hold inside you (which you may not even realise is there) and leaves you feeling much more relaxed for at least 45 minutes afterwards. Laughter has also been shown to boost the immune system and regulate hormones. This improves your resistance to disease and releases 'feel-good' endorphins which can boost your emotional health and help to decrease pain.
