Project P.E.A.C.E. Mindful Monday #10: Laughing

Good morning, Mahwah, and happy Monday! This week’s segment of Mindful Monday may sound funny, but it’s actually very good for the soul and that’s the nature of laughter. Laughing won’t just reduce stress in your day; it has also been proven to also improve your physical health. One of the long term effects of laughing is an improved immune system! Sometimes it is hard to get your mind out of your work, but if you make the attempt to laugh at something for a while, you will be in a better mindset to tackle your day! So today, make time to watch your favorite show or hang out with friends that make you laugh; it’s for your health!

Here are some links regarding the science and psychology of laughter:
