World Laughter Day is a global event celebrated on the first Sunday of May every year. It was first celebrated in 1998 and was introduced by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement. Laughter is recognized as a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving health, and promoting a sense of well-being.
The day is marked by various events and activities aimed at spreading joy and laughter. People gather in parks, public spaces, and community centers to engage in laughter yoga sessions, comedy shows, laughter clubs, and other fun activities. Laughter is contagious, and the idea is to share laughter with others and experience its positive effects.
Apart from the fun aspect, World Laughter Day also serves as a reminder of the importance of laughter in our lives. In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and anxiety are prevalent, taking time to laugh and enjoy moments of happiness can be immensely beneficial for both physical and mental health.
