“Laughter. It is the greatest thing we can do for ourselves, both physically and mentally...When you are laughing and having fun you are physically loose, which allows your body to execute motor tasks with fluidity and precision... Performance aside, laughter has so many psychological benefits. It decreases stress hormones, I even think it can increase your immune system and alleviate physical pain. But most importantly, laughter allows you to be in the moment and see the best parts of that moment. It overpowers any negative thoughts and floods your brain with good. I have literally set goals for athletes centered around how many times they laugh at practice. We all should laugh every day, multiple times a day.”- Head over to @flocounselling to see what else I said in her recent blog post!
