Laughing impact on brain

Laugh to Achieve More

You laugh. I laugh. We all laugh. The question is, what specific effect does laughter have on our brains?

To start this roundup, let’s all have a laugh, shall we?

What did the farmer use to count his cows? Wait for it…a COWculator….you probably didn’t laugh, but you know you wanted to…

Anyways, the research is generally extremely positive on laughter.

Here are some Chad roundups on laughter and the brain:

  • Laughter helps reduce stress

  • Laughter improves blood flow and oxygen to your muscles

  • Laughter increases DOPAMINE, which then increases motivation. Want to achieve more? Try watching some comedy on the weekends (obviously don’t skip working and just watch comedy, but you get my point)

  • The best organizational bonds in startups have teams that can laugh together. I can already hear the gremlin managers grumbling in the back.

  • Laughter BOOSTS retention and memory, according to scientists and researchers. Laugh a little, and Harvard’s gonna be knocking on your door.

BRAINTOOLS

Here are some tools that can help increase laughter in your life:

  • ChatGPT (its gonna replace your uncle Arnie’s jokes)

  • TikTok (use with caution- may cause undefined rizz)

  • Use Duolingo or Rosetta stone and start hammering away at that second language

  • Read childhood novels- its going to be a throwback

  • Your local standup club (try it out folks, doesn’t hurt!)

  • ZenPreneur Newsletter (well, would you look at that?)

Anyways lads, that's a wrap for today’s edition. Stay safe, and have a laugh.
