They say laughter is the best medicine, and it's true? Everyone is navigating novel situations because of the pandemic. Understandably, these new situations — working from home, homeschooling, working from home while homeschooling — are causing significant stress and anxiety in many of our households. Among a myriad of stress and anxiety management tools, my favorite is laughter. Humor heals, as long as you free yourself to tap into the benefits of laughter.
Laughter is as powerful as an emotional release as crying is in its cascade of biological helpfulness
Here are some healing benefits of laughter and humor when you're stressed out.
Laughter takes your mind off the situation.
Laughter has powerful distracting benefits. A sense of humor can heal.
Looking for the humor in a situation and even allowing yourself to laugh can be a strong catalyst for coping and managing anxiety.
As a bonus, when you share your laughter and humorous take about a common difficulty (as my friend did in her video), you help others take their minds off the situation, too.
Your humor heals not only you, but those who can appreciate it.
Laughter triggers a biochemical reaction that eases discomfort.
What's especially interesting is the relationship between the biochemistry of anxiety and laughter.
The amygdala is a very small area of the brain and is at the center of our threat response or fight-or-flight response. Yet, the amygdala is also responsible for laughter.
While there's much more to learn about the biology of laughter, it can be particularly effective when it comes to releasing tension and stress, as well as tolerating anxiety and pain.
Laughter leads to greater health.
Science is strong for laughter’s health benefits.
Laughing increases the production on immune cells and reduces cortisol, the hormone that's chronically high when an individual suffers from long-term stress and suppresses the immune system.
It also lowers blood pressure, antibody levels rise, and the body’s natural anticarcinogenic response accelerates.
Laughter truly is great medicine!
Laughter is a strong social catalyst.
Laughter is a powerful social glue. It connects us to others in that it releases the brain's feel-good chemicals called endorphins.
It is also highly contagious. I am the kind who finds problem laughing at serious moments🤣.This makes laughter particularly efficient at building a connection, too.
Laughter improves mental performance.
Laughter improves cognition, which increases oxygen to the brain.
Discovering for yourself how humor heals can be a pleasure in itself and is a powerful tool in terms of resetting your mood and boosting resilience.
No matter the crisis, look for ways you can laugh. It will help!
