Where would we all be without a little bit of humor in our
lives and how would we all act? I personally think we would be stressed out and
grumpy. All of the stress that builds up inside one’s body can be led out
through laughter, which is a very effective relaxation technique. The heavy
workload due to nursing school brings us a lot of stress, which is why we all
need some humor. Laughter provides several benefits such as: relaxing the whole
body, boosting the immune system, triggering the release of endorphins, and
even protecting the heart (Smith, 2012)! Laughter also brings people together
and last but not least it does not cost a dime. Here is a little picture that
made me laugh ha-ha.
