Everybody knows that laughing feels good, but few realize how  valuable these simple tools can be in improving our everyday wellness  and wellbeing. Laughter cannot heal or solve anything, but it can help  to heal and dissolve everything. That’s what World Laughter Day is for!  It’s a day where people can relieve some stress and laugh. Discover a  new happiness workout and learn about what happens during World Laughter  Day!

History of World Laughter Day

World Laughter Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide to raise  awareness about laughter and its many healing benefits, as well as about  thousands of community groups around the world who regularly practice  comedy that promote wellness and overall well-being. World Laughter Day  is celebrated in most large cities around the world. Hundreds of people  gather worldwide on that day to laugh together. It has been celebrated  in Los Angeles since 2005 and has since spread all over the world as a  way to express people’s love for comedy and laughter.

World Laughter Day is celebrated also by a congregation of laughter  club members, their families and friends in their city like big squares,  public parks or auditoriums. Laughter clubs usually have a variety  entertainment program of music, dance and laughter contests. Winners are  those with the most infectious, natural and effortless laughter.  Laughter club members during this day participate in a peace march and  carry banners and placards such as “World Peace Through Laughter, The  Whole World Is An Extended Family, Join a Community Laughter Club – it’s  free!” etc. During the march all chant “Ho Ho, Ha-Ha-Ha” and “very  good, very good, yay!” clapping and dancing. This is known to be one of  the best ways that laughter clubs help you have a good time and join a  laughter club for special benefits.

Health benefits of laughter

Is there any better feeling than a deep-rooted belly laugh? Not only  does it help us to connect with those we’re laughing with, but there are  a number of health benefits that are associated with laughing as well.  This includes the following…

Produces a general sense of well-being – One of  the main benefits associated with laughter is that you’re generally  going to feel better! If you laugh a lot, you’re going to be more of a  positive person, and this can impact your life in so many different  ways.

The release of endorphins is triggered –  Endorphins are the natural painkillers within your body. They are  released when you laugh. This can help you to feel good all over while  easing chronic pain at the same time.

Boost T-cells –  Laughter can also boost T-cells. These are specialized cells in your  immune system, which are simply waiting to be activated. When you laugh,  T-cells are brought to life, and they can help you to fight off  sickness. So, next time you feel like you have a cold coming on, why not  add some giggling and chuckling to your prevention strategy?

Improve cardiac health –  Laughter is an exceptional cardio workout, particularly for anyone who  is not able to do other types of physical activity because of illness or  injury. It will get your heart pumping, enabling you to burn around a  similar amount to the calories you would burn while walking at a slow to  moderate pace.

Work your abs – One of the  advantages associated with laughter is that it will tone your abs. The  muscles in your tummy begin expanding and contracting when you’re  laughing. This is similar to when you exercise your abs intentionally.  At the same time, the muscles that are not in use when you are laughing  will get the chance to relax. Is there any better way to get a toned  stomach than having a good laugh?

Reduce stress hormone levels  – Aside from this, a reduction in your level of stress hormones is  another benefit! This helps to cut the stress and anxiety that impacts  your body. Moreover, the reduction of stress hormones can cause a higher  immune system performance.

Lowers blood pressure – Last but not least, laughing can lower your blood pressure. This can reduce your risk of a heart attack or a stroke.

How to Celebrate World Laughter Day

Want to have a good laugh? Go to a laughter club. Through them, you  can preview new comedians and see what they have to offer in terms of  comedic fun. If you want to be a comedian, learn from the best by  joining comedy acts and taking part in improvisation classes. If you  want, share some funny jokes on social media through the hashtag  #WorldLaughterDay and have a good laugh with your friends by watching  your favorite comedians on Netflix.

Here are some other ways that you can bring some more laughter to your life on World Laughter Day…

Start a Joke Jar – This is a good activity to get  the whole family involved in. Simply grab a jar and get people to write a  joke on a piece of paper and place it inside of the jar whenever they  think of one. Next time you have a family dinner or someone needs  cheering up, you can grab some jokes from the Joke Jar.

Learn to laugh at yourself – Take this day as an  opportunity to teach yourself how to laugh at yourself properly. Most of  us take ourselves too seriously! Learning to laugh at yourself enables  you to be more vulnerable and more authentic – both are great traits to  have.

International Workers’ Day 

Appreciate the many ways you and others build our society, and acknowledge your own hard work by treating yourself kindly on National Worker’s Day.

Everybody loves to spend time on their hobbies! It doesn’t matter if it is a love of shopping, diving, going to the movies, traveling, hiking, or one of thousands of other leisure activities. Many people probably spend a large part of their lives figuring out how to do it more often.

Unfortunately, however, the truth is that in order for most people to have the money to do what they love to do in their spare time, it is necessary to be gainfully employed. Of course, there are also some lucky people on the earth who truly love their jobs!. But regardless of how much people enjoy doing their jobs, they simply have to be done.

Of course, it is also important to remember that each and every little job that a person does is necessary and valuable to society, from garbage man to nurse to teacher to policeman, and so many others.

Together, all of humankind builds society, making it a better, safer place with each passing year. Now, isn’t that something worth celebrating? Many people all over the world seem to think it is!

So now is the time to learn about and celebrate International Workers’ Day together!

The History of International Workers’ Day

In the late 19th Century, trade union and labor movements, along with countless industries, grew. This growth from cottage industry and individual laborers through the industrial revolution eventually prompted trade unionists to begin to work toward protecting the rights of the employees. Whether this was child labor laws, limited working hours, or safe working conditions, labor unions fought to take care of the workers.

Sometimes these types of actions might lead to protests, work stoppages, labor strikes or even special days to celebrate the people’s labor. In the United States and Canada, a September holiday called Labor Day, was first proposed in the 1880s. Several years later, in 1887, North America officially established Labor Day.

May 1st, on the other hand, also known as May Day, was chosen for International Workers’ Day to commemorate the Haymarket affair of May 4th 1886. This event took place in Chicago, Illinois, in the US during a workers’ strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb at the police who had gathered for crowd control. The police then responded by opening fire on the workers, killing four of them and injuring many others.

Today, International Workers’ Day is observed on the first day of May on every continent. And now it’s time to celebrate this day literally all over the world!

International Workers’ Day Timeline

1856 Australian stonemasons protest

In Victoria, stonemasons undertake a massive stoppage in a movement toward an eight-hour workday.

1882 Labor Day is proposed for the US

Different workers’ rights advocates propose the idea of an American Labor day. Though many states do adopt the day, it will be another dozen years before it is made a federal holiday (celebrated in September).

1886 The Haymarket Affair takes place

In Chicago, riots break out as workers strike and police get involved, turning to violence and creating panic.

1889 International Workers’ Day is established

With roots in the socialist movement, May 1st is called upon as a protest day for the working-class demands of the eight-hour day.

1919 International Labor Organization begins

Created as part of the Treaty of Versailles, the International Labor Organization (ILO) includes representatives from nine countries.

How to Celebrate International Workers’ Day

This day was always meant to celebrate the work of the everyday man, so for those who may have been feeling a bit underappreciated recently, today might be a good day for you to do what you feel like doing and treat yourself!

Try out some of these other ideas for getting involved and celebrating International Workers’ Day:

Take a Day to Yourself

Take the day off (if it’s not a day off work in that country of residence) and go do something that you want to do for a change. Consider some of these ways to find enjoyment and rest:

Has it been ages since you visited the mountains? Pack a lunch and spend the day enjoying nature and the view from the mountain peak you decide to conquer.

Has your back been causing you increasing discomfort recently? Time to make an appointment with a good masseuse!

And if it’s been forever since you took the time to make yourself a decent meal, today is the perfect day to buy all of the ingredients you need and spend as much time as you want cooking something delicious and nutritious.

No matter what is chosen, this is the day to do something enjoyable and restful!

Attend an International Workers’ Day Event

For those who might be feeling a bit more politically inclined, this day offers an ideal opportunity to attend one of the many rallies or marches that are often organized in many cities worldwide. These rallies and marches are typically organized and dedicated to raising awareness about fair wages and fair working conditions. After all, the first step towards making any kind of change is making people aware of the issue!

Learn About the History of Workers’ Rights

This day is the ideal time to head over to the library and do a little research and read about different situations that have led up to the celebration of International Workers’ Day. For instance, start by researching these pivotal topics:

Victorian Workhouses. Infamous for their exploitation of the weak and the poor, even children fell victim to these houses that were essentially prisons in 18th century England.

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. In a New York City factory in 1911, the exits and stairwells were kept locked to keep workers from taking unauthorized breaks. When a fire broke out, 123 women and girls and 23 men, mostly immigrants, died.

Sweatshops. Even today, sweat factories exist as crowded workplaces with poor and sometimes illegal conditions, including poor ventilation, low lighting, high/low temperatures, unfair wages, unhealthy or dirty environments, child labor, extended hours without breaks and much more.

Host an International Workers’ Day Gathering

If it is difficult to find an event in the local area, then perhaps it is time to start one. Gather together a few friends, family members, neighbors or coworkers and hold a conversation about fair working. Perhaps it could be a dinner party where the topic of conversation revolves around ways to right the injustices or difficult conditions in certain places.

Or maybe it should be more of an activist gathering where t-shirts are printed and picket signs are made in support of fairness in employment. Go with what works for each individual and the community!
