Laughter Yoga Leader, Elaine Helle, is getting ready for Belly Laugh Day. As she states:

"From now until January 24, anticipate laughing out loud on Belly Laugh Day. You will boost your immune system and reduce stress hormones. On January 24, wake up and yell out, "It is Belly Laugh Day, yeah." A start-of-the-day positive mood will impact your entire day. Smile, throw your arms in the air and laugh out loud on January 24 at 1:24 p.m. Your laughter and positive emotions will be contagious. To supercharge your laughter on Belly Laugh Day call family, friends and colleagues around the world at 1:24 p.m. their time to laugh out loud with them."

I interviewed Elaine for my podcast, Leading With A Whole New Mind . In the book, A WHOLE NEW MIND, laughter yoga is described as part of Play. Elaine truly lives her life with laughter as a key component to her well-being. She is intent on sharing the benefits of laughter, especially in workplaces, where cracking a joke is often at someone else’s expense.

Take time to laugh with others. I’ll be laughing from now until January 24. I hope you join me.
