Need a Break from Work? Laugh!

By Wendy Woods
In July 23, 2010

Laughter is the perfect break; it reduces stress, improves immunity, and boosts moods just to name a few benefits.  As Milton Berle said “Laughter is an Instant Vacation” so take a mini holiday even if it is at work.

Here are a few quick ways to start laughing:

  • Take a break with your favourite cartoons or funny quotes. Here are a couple of resources to get you started: (cartoons)  www.glasbergen.com, www.workinghumor.com/quotes/
  • Spend time with people who laugh easily.  Laughing is contagious so you will naturally start laughing too.
  • If all else fails, do what laughter yoga followers do. Fake the laughter until natural laughter kicks in. Yes it might feel strange – guaranteed you’ll feel better.
