Laughter can help you immensely as part of a healthy living and well-being, and will add to your experience of a joyous lifestyle when scheduled to suit your desires.
So, rather than leave laughter to chance, why don’t you in addition schedule “laughter days” where you can laugh your way to health and happiness allowing you to move and step above life’s turmoil’s, to create the life you deserve.

Here’s how to rekindle laughter into your life on a regular basis as and when it suits you, to bring in a touch of joy and fulfilment into your day’s activities and your life.
Past funny events
Before you start this, it may be best to choose a quiet location, where you will not be disturbed. This will allow you to bask in the pool of laughter to your heart’s content.
Now, one of the best ways to create laughter that originates from deep within you is to rekindle past funny moments and actually associate within it. So for example, you remember a time in the past when you were bursting with laughter.
To start your laughter sessions, first of all you need to relax, just give yourself a few minutes to be calm. Now, recall the event, then associate yourself once again in it by carefully going back in time and remembering how it started and where it started.
Okay, as you work up your energy in recalling this funny memorable event, let yourself smile, then keep smiling, as you go deeper into the event start with a little laugh, and as you remember the height of the event, go on and laugh. Let yourself go, laugh for what you can see, hear, feel, smell or taste. Associate with this particular funny moment in your life and experience the feelings.
Just go on and keep laughing, feel the feelings that you can remember of the event and really fill yourself with this energy source. If you lie or sit down on a bed or a comfortable location, you may want to try waving your hands and feet as it suits you, it’s good for your health to just let go of all your care’s and concerns at this very moment, while you bask in the complete fulfilment of this laughter trail.
When you’re done, wipe your tears of joy [if any], all is well and go about your day, feeling refreshed with a new bust of energy.
