Every year on 14th April, International Moment of Laughter Day is celebrated. This is a day to remind people to laugh out loud every day.
This day was originated in 1997 by Izzy Gesell, an author and humor consultant. He said laughing out loud is as essential as breathing.
It relieves stress, instills optimism, raises self-confidence, and enhances all your relationships.
This day reminds us to look beyond our anxious lives and find something that puts a big smile on our faces. You don’t have to laugh. You can also giggle, chuckle, cackle, or titter.
Make it a goal to laugh, make someone laugh, and share a laugh. Try watching funny videos, and looking at old funny photos of yourself. Share a funny story with a friend or laugh for no reason at all.
