Laugh Pact List: Laugh at Yourself
👋🏼 Hello! Welcome to the Laugh Pact List!
This weekly list features the latest Laughter Yoga news. You can find it here every other Thursday or you can get it through email (plus get a thank you gift of 3 songs).
Like so many, I’ve been feeling allllllll the feelings lately. Enter: LAUGHTER.
Laughter helps me process everything that’s happening on a macro and micro level. It’s a cathartic activity that pairs well with crying. Both provide an essential emotional release.
I hope these selections help you laugh and process.
