Funny things make life easier

Believe it of not laughter is not the same as humour. It is the physiological response to humour and is made of two parts the production of a sound and a set of gestures. Laughing causes our brain to conduct both the production of a sound and a set of gestures simultaneously. Some researchers believe that strengthening human connections is related to why we laugh because laughter occurs more often when people are comfortable around one another. Have you noticed in an office everyone in the office laughs when the boss laughs? This is because dominant people use laughter more often than their subordinates. Laughing and Humour is like a medicine and a very powerful one. It can bring together families in troubled times, reduce anger and frustration and lower your stress levels. If you can laugh at yourself or a situation you are in that seem overwhelming it will help to diffuse the stress.
