The corporate turf is said to be most stressful, what with deadlines, work hassles, thinking ahead of time and more. And so, it’s crucial to keep your wits about you as you go through the daily grind. Laughter is one of the best therapies to help you achieve that. Here’s why…
It makes you more productive:
Days devoid of merriment can be dull, more so at the office. Laughter releases happy endorphins and takes away the dreary feeling of spending hours there, making one work faster and better.
Lessens the workload:
Much-needed laughter intersperses the day with amusement and fun. It helps lighten the load as you go about tasks happily.
Builds better relationships:
The team that laughs together, works together, so have fun. Having a light demeanour makes others more approachable to you, so do away with straight faces, even under work pressure. Laughing boosts creativity and also draws out introverts.
Helps you recharge the batteries:
Sometimes a dose of laughter is the pick-me-up that you need. So apart from eating right and that desktop yoga, go out of your way to chat with your colleagues and giggle about small things.
One of the best de-stressors:
Laughter is known to induce a positive state of being and increase tolerance levels to pain and anger. It also makes stress fade away. And remember to laugh at yourself, while you’re at at it as humour directed at yourself can instantly break the ice and make people like you.
