The Four Goals for Global Belly Laugh Day

Researchers say that laughing adds years to your life. So, we hope you participate fully in this day.

Here are the four goals, as expressed by the author of this day:

  • To celebrate and remember past laughter.

  • To connect with others via laughing. Hence, doing it in public with others is the best way to celebrate.

  • To remember the importance of laughs and smiles.

  • To gain the health benefits of smiling and laughing. Laughter is the best medicine.

Record this historical event. We strongly recommend you get someone to do a video of your participation and post it on social media. The problem with this is finding someone who doesn’t want to participate in the laughing, as this event is too much fun to sit back and watch from the sidelines.
