Laughter Yoga 

“Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision
or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug,
that will ease your pain, cure your depression,
and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible
defeat and worry, thus freeing your mind to think clearly
toward the solution that is certain to come.
Never take yourself too seriously.”
- Og Mandino
