GET A REGULAR DOSE OF HUMOUR

Rather than wait for something to brighten your day or make you laugh, seek it out.

Listen to funny podcasts, join a humour group on social media that posts jokes or funny cartoons daily or have a weekly comedy night – get together with family or friends to watch funny movies or sitcoms at the weekend. Laughing together connects us with others.

Laughter IS the best medicine

Laughing can boost our oxygen intake, improve artery function and increase the brain’s production of feel good chemicals called endorphins – just like exercise. Find out how to get more laughter in your life.
