| Take Some Time For Laughter And You Will Feel Better |
Everyone needs more laughter in their life.
Laughter is healing. It makes people feel more welcome and it alleviates tension in any room.
This is why so many public speakers use jokes in their speeches and also
why doctors encourage laughter to help patients get well.
If you are lacking
laughter in your life, here are five ways to get more of it into your daily
routine and crack a smile much more often.
1. Email funny internet jokes.
If work allows you, or if you have the Internet
at home, take a few minutes to read and forward funny internet jokes and
videos. There are plenty of free funny
videos on YouTube as well as websites that have jokes and funny pictures. There
are also newspaper headlines and funny greeting cards that are all free to
forward to s friend. Because these hilarious
home videos and headlines that come from all over the world; so there is an
endless supply of funny material that can make someone laugh every day.
2. Tell a funny story or a joke.
If you are ever sitting around at work or
even at home with visiting family, things can get uptight. A funny story is the
best way to make everyone laugh, especially if someone in the group has a gift
for storytelling. Usually a humorous story is about someone where something
impossibly funny happens to them and how they react to or get out of a
situation. Telling a humorous story is fun for the story teller as well as the
people that are listening.
It is especially uplifting if you have a
contest to see who can tell the most humorous story. A story telling contest
can go on for a good hour; when everyone has told their tale of mirth, most
people will be in an entirely good mood
for the rest of the day and will probably chuckle every once in a while
when they remember the story and the person who told it.
3. Have an impromptu get together.
If you are studying too hard, practicing
too much, or working too long, there is nothing like an impromptu get together
where everyone can relax, unwind and blow off some steam. At an impromptu get
together, usually you go to someone’s house to have food and listen to music or
watch a movie. During this kind of break, it is best to watch a comedy, where
everyone can enjoy a good laugh. It is also helpful to tell any funny stories
that you might have about work or a project that you are trying to finish. After a good laugh with close friends, most
people feel about going back to work or to school.
4. Play a game.
A game at work, school, or a party is a
great way to get everyone laughing. Pick a fun game like charades or a store
bought game that is designed to make people laugh. Generally, if tensions are
running high, a fun game where people try to communicate titles of movies, etc.
while acting them out or drawing them will have everyone laughing in no time.
These kinds of games also show that people can get along even when things are serious.
5. Play a practical joke.
A practical joke can get everyone laughing if
it is done correctly. Just remember though, a practical joke is not the same as
a prank. A prank is a joke where someone gets made fun of or gets hurt while
others laugh. Pranks don’t always work out to be funny either. A practical joke
is more along the lines of rearranging the letters on someone’s keyboard or
wrapping everything in their office in tin foil while they are out to
lunch. No one gets hurt, and everyone
can laugh at the expression on someone’s face when they can’t figure out what
is going on.
These are just a few ideas of how you can bring laughter
back into your life, and remember, you will always feel better after a good
laugh, no matter what the situation.
