According to Mayo Clinic, spending time with people who make you laugh can have long-term benefits such as boosting your immune system by reducing stress caused by negative thoughts. Laughter can also improve your outlook on life and help you cope with difficult situations. Additionally, it can reduce stress, depression, and anxiety while increasing self-esteem. Physician Oller suggests surrounding yourself with positive people who make you laugh or finding your own way to humor through activities such as watching funny shows, reading something humorous, or practicing laughter yoga.
