      <image:title>Glaswegian Way to Wellbeing - Humour</image:title>
      <image:caption>Humour plays a powerful role in supporting both mental and physical wellbeing. Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which help reduce stress and promote a sense of happiness. It also lowers levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, leading to a calmer and more relaxed state of mind. Socially, humour strengthens relationships by fostering connection, empathy, and trust. Sharing laughter can ease tension, improve communication, and create a sense of belonging. This social support is a key factor in maintaining emotional resilience. Physically, laughter can boost the immune system, improve circulation, and even relieve pain by relaxing muscles and increasing oxygen intake. Over time, these effects contribute to better overall health and vitality. In essence, humour acts as a natural coping mechanism, helping people navigate challenges with perspective and positivity. It encourages optimism, enhances mood, and supports a balanced, healthy outlook on life. This wee booklet shares examples of why Glaswegians have their own unique brand of humour.</image:caption>

Who care about each other and want to find ways where we all suffer less. This wee booklet offers ideas on why kindness and courtesy matter and why Glasgow is a kind city. We know we are living in challenging times but looking out for each other we can prevail.</image:caption>
