In this TED talk, Ida Abdalkhani enagages the audience in a laughter yoga session. Laughter session forces oneself to laugh but within 2 minutes the forced laughter becomes real. “We laugh 300 times a day as children but only 30 as adults”. Laugh makes people release a flood of positive neurotrasmitters which stimulate our brains, our immune and our nervous system.
As Ida Abdalkahni concludes, “it’s within your power to make your narrative a joyful one”.
