Embrace The Power of Humor

"No matter what negative situation you’re in, using humor can improve your experience.

Humor also has a profound impact on the way that we view and talk to ourselves. When we laugh at ourselves, we improve our attitude and are able to move past disheartening or awkward situations.

Clearly a little humor can go a long way. There are a number of things that you can do to increase yours and capitalize on its power. They include the following:

• Look for humor in every situation. No matter what, try to find the punchline.
• When you make a mistake or do something awkward, tell yourself a joke about it. You’ll learn to take yourself less seriously in the process.
• Watch or hang out with other funny people. They’ll help you grow and expand your wit, and you’ll laugh a lot in the meantime.
• Play games or try something new that makes you laugh. Sometimes, we just need to kick back and wake up that inner child.
• Learn a few simple jokes. They are great ice breakers and conversation starters in a variety of settings.
• Smile and laugh more. Even the simple act of smiling, brightens your mood and the mood of those around you, so flash that grin whenever you can."
