Laughter positively affects all aspects of being. Studies show that it is a legitimate and powerful form of preventive medicine, and a complementary option to other established therapeutic strategies for physiological, mental, and emotional health, and more. Physiological benefits: laughter is a therapeutic ally in healing and a valuable form of preventive and complementary medicine. It provides important natural defences against illness.
Mental benefits: laughter diffuses bad stress, enhances problem-solving skills, and creates a new perspective.
Emotional benefits: laughter elevates moods, counteracts depression symptoms. Social benefits: laughter fosters better communication, and improves cooperation and empathy between people. It is a significant lubricant of human communication and relationships.
Spiritual well-being: choosing to laugh and be positive teaches us to choose to live and be at peace with others, with our self and with our environment in our current situation. It helps us build resilience to stress and find meaning in life.
The essence is summarized in the following question: “What can I do now to improve my life/work/situation/company with a positive attitude?”
This is not a pure business related post, but it could be, but it is a personal post about a subject that I am passionate and engaged with:-
HOMELESSNESS is 24/7
449 deaths in the U.K. from Oct17 to Oct18
More than one person per day dies in the U.K. directly caused by being homeless.
The true toll is likely to be higher
Causes of death included assault, drug overdoses, illness and suicide. One man showed signs of prolonged starvation.
Their ages ranged from 18 to 94 years old, with an average of 49 for men and 53 for women.
Here is the thing we all can help, corporately and individually, I have some great ideas but lack the resource, many folks have the resource but lack the ideas.
It does not take much to change this situation in the U.K. and the ROTW, so I ask that you look at what you can do, many of my connections already will help, but a concerted effort would change things permanently for the homeless.
There plenty of local points of contact that can help you to engage, how about teambuilding by helping run a soup kitchen? emergency accommodation for "death freeze nights"
I hope you can help and get engaged, and that's it, no cheesy pictures or pleas.
