I had always heard that laughter is the best medicine. But it wasn't until I met Mira that I truly understood the power of laughter on mental health.

Mira had been struggling with depression and anxiety for years. She had tried therapy, medication, and various other treatments, but nothing seemed to help. It wasn't until she attended a stand up comedy show with some friends that she finally found relief.

As the comedian took the stage, Mira's friends began to laugh. At first, Mira felt out of place, but then she began to chuckle along with them. Soon, her chuckles turned into belly laughs, and for the first time in a long time, Mira felt happy.

From that day on, Mira made it a point to seek out laughter in her daily life. She watched comedy shows, movies, listened to funny podcasts, and even joined a laughter yoga group. Over time, Mira's depression and anxiety began to lift, and she felt more positive and hopeful about her future.

Here, Mira's story taught me the importance of incorporating humor and laughter into our daily lives.
It can also have a positive impact on their mental health.

Studies have shown that laughter can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being.
So keep laughing...
