Tip #5: Have more fun and laughter in your life. Fun and laughter are good for your health and well-being. They can help you relax your body and mind, release endorphins (the feel-good hormones), reduce stress and anxiety (the bad hormones), improve your mood and outlook (the positive emotions), and strengthen your relationships (the social bonds). But how do you have more fun and laughter in your life? Here are some suggestions:
- Find humor in everyday situations. You can laugh at yourself (not at others), laugh at the absurdity (not the tragedy), laugh at the irony (not the misfortune), or laugh at the coincidence (not the fate) of life. You can also look for funny signs (not warning signs), funny headlines (not breaking news), funny memes (not fake news), or funny videos (not viral videos) on the internet.
- Watch or read something funny. You can watch a comedy show (not a drama show), a stand-up comedy (not a TED talk), a funny movie (not a horror movie), or a cartoon (not a documentary) on TV or online. You can also read a joke book (not a self-help book), a comic strip (not a newspaper), a humorous novel (not a thriller), or a satire magazine (not a gossip magazine) in print or online.
- Do something silly or playful. You can make funny faces (not angry faces), make funny noises (not annoying noises), make funny gestures (not rude gestures), or make funny jokes (not mean jokes) with yourself or others. You can also play with toys (not tools), play with words (not facts), play with ideas (not rules), or play with roles (not stereotypes) with yourself or others.
- Join or create a laughter club or group. You can find or start a group of people who share your sense of humor and enjoy laughing together. You can meet online or offline to watch or read something funny, do something silly or playful, or practice laughter yoga (a form of exercise that involves voluntary laughter) together.
