It’s more than just telling jokes—it’s about engaging in guided exercises, group laughter sessions, or activities designed to stimulate laughter, even without a reason. The idea is simple: your body doesn’t always know the difference between genuine and intentional laughter, so both can deliver the same physical and emotional benefits.
