January 24 is belly laugh day. Who does not want time spent in a good belly laugh? In study by Manninen et al. (2017) social laughter modulated the endogenous mu-opioid system supporting social bonding. Laughter yoga was found to lower cortisol levels in first year nursing students offering improvement in the experience of stress (Ozlem Ozturk & Tezel, 2021). Prosocial behavior and the opportunity to reduce stress is a great way to start a new year.

This meeting is the culmination of the laughter challenge (1 minute of laughter per day beginning 1/1/24 - 1/24/24), invites folks to participate in 1 minute of group laughter on belly laugh day, and opens space to share insights from their 24 days of laughter.
