Why laugh? The benefits of laughing.

In case you are feeling a little down today, plop yourself in front of the mirror and force a smile. Make it a real wide smirk , start making laughing sounds, make a witch laugh, soon you will be laughing at yourself. Give this a go for a minimum of 5 minutes and I guarantee you will feel better. ☺☺
