Day 25 - Make Someone Laugh
By WWTW Fundraising on
Welcome back to Day 25 of our calendar and today we are asking you to make someone laugh within our connection series.
Why laughter?
Laughter is often considered a natural medicine. It reduces stress, boosts the immune system, and fosters stronger connections between people. Making someone laugh is not only good for them but also beneficial for you. It brings mutual joy, strengthens relationships, and enhances overall well-being.
Here are some simple ways to bring a smile to someone’s face today:
- Share a Joke: Do you have a favourite joke that always gets a laugh? Share it with someone who needs a smile.
- Tell a Funny Story: Think of a humorous anecdote from your life and share it with a friend, family member, or colleague.
- Send a Funny Video: Do you have a go-to funny video that always makes you laugh? Share it with someone to brighten their day.
The power of laughter
Laughter is contagious. When you make someone laugh, it creates a positive ripple effect, lifting their spirits and improving your own mood as well. It’s a simple yet powerful way to connect with others and spread positivity.
