Before starting our core discussion, I want to ask you one small question: WHEN YOU LAUGH WITH YOUR HEART LAST TIME ?
Obviously, I can’t predict your answer but I’m hundred percent sure that you take a moment to remember your answer that signifies that it’s not a daily affair for many of us.
Our life is so busy, we are so isolated. This time is very crucial to find one more answer — that are we earning to live or living because we are earning? Sometimes we have a tendency to avoid our emotions like crying, laughing, sharing our thoughts just by thinking about what society will say or think about us. That leads to a traumatic situation where we indulge with stress and lifestyle diseases.

According to a study of the University of Oxford, a happy employee can work more efficiently and with fewer errors.
2. Positive Impacts on Health
Many studies prove that a joyful person can heal early from any disease. He gives a positive response to any treatment and lifestyle disorders impact him less. It can improve our heart health and boost our immune system. That’s why a concept in yoga called ‘Hasya Yoga’ is very popular.
