Laughter is enjoyable and all 1, however World Laughter Day is an occasion that highlights the reasons why people should laugh. These purposes include stifle stress, improve relationships with people, and making one happy in general.
But, what is the background of World Laughter Day?
World Laughter Day is a day of global togetherness characterized by happiness and laughter for the sake of peace. This has its origins from 1998 when the practice of ‘laughter yoga’ was founded by Indian doctor Madan Katori. This practice was based on the principle that emotions could be altered by laughter and as a result, members were encouraged to freely share laughter.
The development of laughter clubs and public laughter sessions in over 115 nations have turned World Laughter Day into more than just a day. It has become a dynamic event geared towards appreciating the role that laughter plays in the unification and embellishment of the earthly inhabitants.
