How it works
Stressed? Don't be! Let's laugh!!! There are many ways Chemistry is involved when laughing.The chemical dopamine is released in the brain when you laugh and then are sent as a signal to other nerves in the body.
Take a break - Laugh
Laughing or smiling is a universal language. It is the one of the first few things humans do when they are born and carry it forever with them. Taking a break to laugh while working helps reduce stress a lot!
How it may affect you
Dopamine is part of the human reward system and is very important for feeling satisfaction, happiness and motivation. Producing Dopamine naturally is important as many tend to reply on recreational drugs instead which can be very harmful over time.
