First a word from our friends at Laughter.com:
The Truth and Nothing But It
Laughter is good for us. What other bodily function can give us a healthy workout inside and out, can alleviate stress, relieve pain, and help us gain a better perspective on ourselves and our lives?
Laughter is a tension reliever. Have you ever felt your mounting anger give way to a burst of laughter? It can be an icebreaker at a party. "Did you hear the one about...?" Laughter has the ability to transform us from fearful and discouraged to spirited and encouraged.
Often, we have little control over life's events, but if we learn to see humor in these situations and laugh, we can minimize the impact.
Try It, You'll Like It
Here are a few tips on upping your laugh per day quotient.
1. Figure out what makes you laugh. Laughter is a personal thing, so maybe t.v. sitcoms crack you up, or funny movies. Humorous books or comedy club performances may be more your style. It could be an activity you liked as a kid, like ice skating or the circus. Make a list. Whatever makes you laugh, do it more often.
2. Surround yourself with funny people. Ever notice how humorous folks always have a crowd around them? Laughter is contagious, it puts people in a good mood, encourages interaction and wins affection. Make some funny friends. Whoever makes you laugh, be with them more often.
3. Develop your own sense of humor. Immerse yourself in the world of fun. Take a comedy workshop. Read and learn to tell jokes or humorous stories. Make up games to play. Become a Sir (or Ms.) Laff-A-Lot. However you do it, be funnier more often.
Bringing more laughter into our lives means unlearning what we've learned. Let's act silly again, put more smiles on our faces and be childlike. Let's change No Laughing Zones to Laugh When Appropriate Zones and banish Laugh Stoppers.
So, go ahead and laugh! Lighten up, will you?!
And i'm back. Even though not mentioned, tickling is a terrific way to initiate laughter especially if you can wholeheartedly enjoy it as thankfully I can. This is an opportunity to take back the happiness and laughter that a busy and hecktic lifestyle which we all face day in and day out robs us of. Tickling makes me laugh and I love it and love inducing it as well and I know i'm certainly not alone here. All the TMFers here i'm sure already know this but it's a message that should be echoed all day every day in every way. Of course if anyone of you need help in making those nerves tingle in laughter and harmony; my computer is always on(metaphorically speaking) as is the same of many of the Ler&lees here at TMF.. Life is Hard.. Laugh it off.
