Laughter is one of the pure joys of being alive. It’s something so simple, yet it has such a positive effect on us. It’s also extremely easy. Think you can’t find anything funny going on in your life? Think again. Life is filled with funny situations, but all too many times we take others and ourselves too seriously to find the humor. Feel free to laugh at yourself, even if you do something that normally calls for embarrassment. It’s only an embarrassing moment if you let it become one. Say you trip and fall while walking down the street. Most of us would blush and continue walking with our head down. Why? What’s wrong with a good chuckle, even if it’s at your own expense? When you learn to find the humor in daily situations, it could help decrease anxiety and even help out with stress. Now go out and do something silly. It could be the best laugh you have all day.
