Each year, National Let’s Laugh Day on March 19th reminds us to add a little humor to our day. It’s never good to be serious all the time and letting the laughter bubble up from time to time is good for all of us!

#LetsLaughDay

We have all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” This is the day to take your medicine.

Some studies have shown that laughter may boost your immune system, relieve tension and help you relax. Who does not need any of those things in our busy and hectic world?

Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can. ~ Elsa Maxwell

We don’t laugh because we’re happy — we’re happy because we laugh. ~ William James

As we all know, laughter can also be contagious. Even faking it seems to have some benefits. Classes called “laughter yoga” engage the abdominal muscles, lungs, arms, and facial muscles while using humor to get us laughing to cure what ails us.

When you and a friend have those long bouts of uncontrolled laughter that end in tears and aching stomach muscles that last a good 10 minutes or longer, you burn between 10-40 calories per 10 minutes. So, keep giving each other those don’t-look-at-me-or-I’ll-start-laughing-again looks and you’ll keep right on burning more laugh-healthy calories and you’ll enjoy a good memory, too!

HOW TO OBSERVE LET’S LAUGH DAY

  • Add a laughing baby ringtone to your phone.
  • Use humor to make someone’s day.
  • Educators, visit the National Day Calendar Classroom for more fun ways to celebrate the day, too!
  • Take some time to laugh and use #LetsLaughDay to post on social media.
  • Try laughter yoga to get you started.
