Laugh and Get Rich Day is celebrated every year on February 8. It is a day to laugh and to enjoy the many benefits that laughter brings. The biggest benefit of laughter is that it improves our health. Laughing can elevate our mood, lower stress and blood pressure, and strengthen the immune system. In this way, laughter makes us rich because health is wealth, after all! But laughter can also contribute to our financial gains by enriching our professional lives. Those who laugh often tend to be happier — happy workers are more productive and are liked by coworkers.
HISTORY OF LAUGH AND GET RICH DAY
Laugh and Get Rich Day is a holiday that is shrouded in mystery. We don’t know who or when it was created, and even the purpose of the celebrations is unknown. However, the general understanding is that this is a holiday that encourages people to laugh to realize that if we’re happy, we have all of the riches we will ever need. Therefore, on February 8 every year, people come together to share jokes, laugh, and spend quality time with each other.
What most of us might not realize is that babies can laugh before they’re even close to speaking. Infants as young as 17 days old can laugh way before they begin to make babbling sounds. They laugh when they find something amusing or during playtime. That’s how ingrained laughter is in us! In fact, a number of scientific studies show that during a 10-minute conversation, the average person will likely laugh anywhere from 5.5 to 5.8 times. Something else that science has taught us is that even the act of smiling, regardless of whether it’s genuine or not, can considerably improve a person’s mood. So, if you’re having a bad day and want to feel better, just crack a smile.
Laughter has also inspired humans to create the genre of comedy, which is designed to bring us humor in the form of literature, films and T.V. shows, jokes, and even music. They make us feel joy and inspire us to laugh — and that is why we tune into our favorite sitcoms or comedy movies when we are feeling down.
