Interoception is what makes you feel hungry, thirsty, hot, cold, itchy, excited, happy, mad and irritable. It is our awareness of the inside of your body including heart rate, breathing, hunger, thirst, and fatigue.

Here’s what I learned so far about laughter: 15 minutes of belly laughing is better than 15 minutes of abs! Belly laughing has same benefits as running. Belly laughing real or fake doesn’t matter, it releases endorphins and helps combat stress.When you engage in laughter (real or fake) the body starts to feel the emotion through decreased cortisol and increased endorphins.
