When did you last have a great laugh? It's such a good feeling, isn't it! Have you noticed how some people are able to light up a room the moment they arrive, simply because they have such a refreshing, light-hearted view on life?
Research shows that laughter is great for our physical and mental health - physical health because it lowers the amount of stress hormones in the blood, and mental health because it's much more difficult to give in to feelings of sadness, stress and depression if you're able to see the funny side of life.
It's also great for team relationships at work. The more productive teams will be those that share the ability to laugh together, even if they're laughing at each other's foibles or differences of opinion. The potential for conflict is greatly reduced when good natured, well intentioned humour is prevalent and actively encouraged.

When times are tough in business, the ability to take yourself lightly and ensure that the workplace is a welcoming, fun place to be will encourage clients to keep coming, and staff to keep providing great customer service.
So harness the power of laughter in all areas of your life - everyone around you will thank you for it!
