…it’s easy to forget our essence every now and then.
We’re in need of a collective dose of silly, so read on to find out where you can recharge your fun batteries.
Serotonin and dopamine: technically, the only 2 things you enjoy
Laughing is healthy. When we put ourselves in situations we don’t often find ourselves in (like your first twerk lesson, for example), you can feel a little self-conscious. A healthy way to let this go is simply to laugh. We highly endorse this: it reduces your stress and anxiety. Fact!
Our response to stressful events can also be altered through choosing to see events as threats or challenges. Humor gives us a lighthearted perspective and helps us to view events as challenges, thereby making them less threatening.
Here’s an interesting perspective: prolonged and complicated events like the global pandemic can result in society-wide lasting emotional effects. A collective effort to bring glimmers of joy into our lives is essential. It’s easily achieved through laughter and human connection; after all, we’re dying to let loose a little.
Let us help you with OneFit to make those small differences every day.
Break it down
It can be a little intimidating to start. Here’s how to get out of that comfort zone and into a possibly bizarre (but definitely laughter-inducing) situation:
- Try something that you’d normally never make time for
- Go with your OneFit buddy: it’s always fun to share the experience
- Choose the workout that makes you think ‘surely not’. You’ll love it: we got you
Really not in the mood? Book a spot with your favourite teacher; that alone can be a spark of joy!
