Leigh believes there is no such thing as a mundane moment She shows us how, in our every day routines, to find new possibilities. In this video, Leigh finds herself with a little extra time on her hands and decides to spend it fake laughing. Whether you can really laugh or fake laugh, it’s good for you and your body doesn’t know the difference. Grab a friend, knock on a neighbors door, or look your child in the eye and let it rip.
