Laugh

Laughter is good medicine. When we laugh, endorphins (happy hormones) are released into our bloodstream and can buffer the effects of cortisol (the stress hormone). So, if you know a stressful situation is approaching, stock up your laughter pantry so you have ways to counteract the stress. 

•  Take some time to figure out what makes you laugh. Is it a certain TikTok account, youtube channel, or comedy show? Do you have a particular friend or family member that you crack up with? Make a note of these to draw on when you need a laugh. 
• Watch a comedy or funny video 
• Tell a joke 
• Play with a pet 
• Share something funny with others - like a video or do the madlibs activity below!
