How to Benefit from Laughing

Thanks to all the benefits above, it’s clear that laughing is a worthwhile addition to your everyday life. If you’re lacking in the laughing department, here are a few tips to increase your daily dose:

• Watch a funny TV show and laugh along with the punchlines (or the laugh track!).
• Buy a funny shirt from our team here at Goats Trail! As a bonus, when you wear your shirt in public, you might help other people laugh, too. Let’s maximize the connection benefits of laughing together!
• Head to a local comedy club for a stand-up performance from local comedians, and invite your friends to share the experience.
• Spend time with children, and give in to their silly joy and wonder. Chances are, they’ll find everyday things to laugh about, and you won’t be able to help yourself from laughing along.
