World Laughter Day is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of May every year to spread happiness worldwide. This year May 2, 2021, will be celebrated as World Laughter Day.
Laughing is one the cheapest and by far the most pleasant therapy worldwide. It has the great power to heal not only your soul but also your body. It gives pleasant fun and relaxes your whole body and even relieves physical whole tension and helps boost the immune system.
It works as a greatest antidote for whole pain, stress, and any kind of conflicts. Nothing works faster than laughter to bring your mind & body back into a proper balance.
In today’s scenario I believe that most of the people might have come across the phrase, “laughter is the best medicine”, so try to laugh whenever you get the chance, don’t miss those golden opportunities, even when people give you funny looks you should never stop laughing.
Just a simple smile or slight giggle has the power to completely alter the atmosphere and mood of the surroundings. Laughter has the great power to heal and renew.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
~Phyllis Diller
