TRY THIS: A LAUGHTER EXPERIMENT

FOR A FUN AT-HOME SCIENCE EXPERIMENT, GATHER YOUR FAMILY AND SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR SOMEONE TO LAUGH SPONTANEOUSLY. START BY SITTING TOGETHER AND SIMPLY LOOKING AT ONE ANOTHER IN SILENCE—NO TALKING, NO PHONES. IF NOTHING HAPPENS, TRY MAKING SILLY FACES, TELLING JOKES, OR EVEN FORCING A LAUGH (WHICH OFTEN TURNS INTO REAL LAUGHTER). ONCE LAUGHTER BEGINS, LET IT FLOW NATURALLY AND SEE HOW LONG IT LASTS.

AFTERWARD, HAVE EACH PERSON TAKE A MOMENT TO NOTICE HOW THEY FEEL—PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY. DID YOUR MOOD IMPROVE?

DO YOU FEEL MORE RELAXED OR CONNECTED? WRITE DOWN YOUR OBSERVATIONS AND COMPARE THEM THE NEXT TIME YOU TRY THE EXPERIMENT. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT HOW SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS LAUGHTER CAN SHIFT THE ENERGY IN A ROOM!
