✒ Self-Care Hacks ✒

Anxiety can be a real buzzkill, especially when it comes to trying to get sober. But, the good news is, there's a simple self-care tactic that can help resolve your worries and make the journey to sobriety a bit easier. I'm talking about laughter, people!

According to a study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, laughter has been found to have a significant impact on reducing stress and anxiety. The study found that even just anticipating the experience of watching a funny video can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and improve mood. Who knew watching cat videos on YouTube could be considered self-care?

But it's not just about watching funny videos, you can also try to bring more laughter into your daily life. Surround yourself with friends who make you laugh, read a comic book, or even try a stand-up comedy class. The key is to find what brings joy and laughter into your life and make it a part of your daily routine.

Laughter has been shown to have numerous scientific benefits, including boosting the immune system, reducing pain, and improving cardiovascular health. It can also improve your overall mood and decrease feelings of anxiety and stress. So, why not try to incorporate more laughter into your daily self-care routine, especially when trying to get sober?

In conclusion, when it comes to self-care and sobriety, don't forget to add a pinch of humor to your routine. Laughing may just be the stress-relieving, mood-enhancing tool you need to make the journey to sobriety a bit easier and more enjoyable. So, go ahead and tickle your funny bone, your mental and physical health will thank you!
