Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Daily 3-Minute Laughter Practice (Laughie Prescription)

The intervention will consist of 3-minutes of laughter (joyful and natural laughter is recommended) per day. Each day participants will laugh for one minute in a group (virtual and/or actual) guided by a professional laughter practitioner who is not going to be involved in the analysis of the data. That laughter will be recorded. The recording (the "Laughie") will then be prescribed for participants to laugh with (with others - family, friends, colleagues, or alone) twice a day. This will result in 3 minutes of laughter per day (the first in a group, the second two prompted by the Laughie)
