Laughing

 


  How do you feel when you get fun and share a good laugh together with your family or friends?  When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Did you know that laughing can improve your health? It is actually true, even laughter is strong medicine. Most people love to hear or watch comedy films. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. 

  As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults, life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is enhancing your relationships and supporting both physical and emotional health. As you can see, the best medicine. Priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use. So let's take a deep closer to why laughter is the best medicine. 

  Strengthen the immune system. When we have a good giggle, we increase our antibodies, which help our body fight infection and disease. Experts confirm that laughing improves our overall quality of life and helps to cure illness. Other research has linked laughter with the boost in immunity to an increased number of natural killer cells that help to attack disease. 

  Reducing stress. Laughing can increase endorphin which can reduce stress. In today's society stress seems to be everywhere, affecting almost everyone. Adult life brings a number of responsibilities, which doesn't mean that we shouldn't unwind and have a good laugh from time to time. In fact, that's what we need. Laughing can lower the levels of cortisol in our bloodstream. Less cortisol means less stress and more endorphin means less stress. Simple.

  It can make us more sociable. People are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feel the humour. Laughter can also help us when it comes to our personal relationships, not only with people we already know but with strangers too. Studies confirm that it's 30 times easier to laugh when we have company and get together with friends. Laughter is quite guaranteed. 

  It is very recommended to add laughter to your day. Try to watch something funny, share a joke, hang out with friends, or have a dance party to boost up your laughter. In addition to offering benefits to your physical health, laughter benefits your mental and emotional. Who doesn't want free medicines and easy to use? Thank you for your time and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
