Laughter yoga has helped the writer to relieve stress. By following the yoga instructor’s advice, the writer has learnt to meditate and appreciate the simple things in life. The writer advises people to look for small ways to bring happiness into your life and the lives of those around you and to always be positive.

I think it is important to laugh every day because it makes people feel good. I think laughter creates a general feeling of well-being. I also think people should laugh and try to feel happy every day.
