Laughter is one of the best ways to live in the present moment; when we laugh fully we are completely engaged in the here and now, completely involved with the people who surround us. Laughter helps us enjoy life exactly as it comes and goes – moment by moment. And for the benefit of our health and wellbeing, here are eight reasons why laughter belongs in every single day.
