Health and Socialization
Laughter exercises can be performed alone or in groups, sitting, standing or recumbent. The benefit of laughter exercises in a group setting is the activation of mirror neurons, enabling each participant to assist in and benefit from each other's laughter. This, in turn, fosters social connectedness and team bonding.
Creativity

Creativity is the production of new ideas. At the whole-person perspective, creative thinking leads to innovation and problem-solving. At the cellular level, new ideas are translated as new neural pathways. As brains age and naturally shrink, the production of new neural connections can help keep brains healthy longer.

Playfulness
Playfulness is a behavior often attributed to children and becomes lost in adulthood as the more serious aspects of life become dominant. But playfulness aids in learning and problem-solving, improves relationships and contributes to our mental and physical resiliency. Incorporating more playfulness in daily activities reduces stress and helps maintain a more relaxed state of mind.
