Let’s just say… first thing
when you popped out of bed this morning, you woke up and found a little yellow
post-it note stuck on the bathroom mirror that could transform your life. You
smiled, instantly recognizing this very familiar word.
Laughter is the no cost, no effort, super simple, fabulously fun, overnight solution to happier, healthier, better living. American scientific and medical journals have cited the medical and psychological benefits of laughter. This is no laughing matter.
Laughter can heal your
pain… reduce your stress… help you sleep like a baby… diffuse tense in
difficult situations… boost your immunity… foster creativity… multiply your
productivity… extend your life… expand your point of view… bond you to others…
increase your charm and charisma… make you feel happier… and help you live in
the moment.
Wrap yourself in a humorous
perspective and laugh your way to a seriously healthy, happy and upbeat life!
Here are 10 easy ways to
grab more giggles and exercise your funny bone…
1. Get a Funny Buddy. Unite
yourself with a laughing partner, friend, buddy or companion that you always
know you can turn to for a laugh. Make a laughing agreement and shake on it,
then surround yourself with more funny people.
2. Lose your wits. Be super
silly for 10 seconds and let your brilliant foolish kid out to play.
3. Be a Silly Spectator.
4. Make Over the Ordinary.
Recount your everyday experiences in a fun way and relive them! It’s the
ordinary, everyday, run of the mill things we find funny. Some of the best
sitcoms and funniest comedians (Seinfeld is a perfect example) create material
out of the everyday perils of life.
5. Give Your Stories a Pay
Off! The best stories have a punchy point, a profound lesson or a great big
finish. Give your friends a payoff for their attention. Let ‘em dangle in
anticipation before you end with a big bang! Adding more energy, impact and
volume will give your story meaning, closure and give you the rewards of
laughter.
6. Make it Big! Describe
something gigantic.
7. Demand Door to Door
Comedic Entertainment. Blockbuster now offers unlimited door to door delivery
service with your favorite DVDs without any pesky late fees or due dates. No
kidding! You’re in for some serious first rate livin’ when you think about the
movies, laughs and life entertainment that will be waiting for you on your
doorstep.
8. Fake a Roll or Take a
Part. Play Scarlet O’Hara or just ham it up for the day and walk through life
with a particular point of view, strong opinion, clever persona, funny accent
or problem that you must solve. I’ve got a New York City cowgirl (don’t call me an urban
buckle bunny) persona in my hip pocket just waiting to come out.
9. Let Off Some Silly
Steam. Have a few funny incidents lined up in your head that you can flash to
before you disagree, bicker or complain. Even the slightest smile will ease ill
feelings and spread goodwill throughout the land. Focus on the amusing or just
plain weird moments that you’ll want to recap with your friends and laugh about
later.
10. Hunt Down the Funnies. Think
about what makes you laugh, the ironies of life that amuse you, the comedians
you adore, the books that make you laugh aloud and which funny shows you refuse
to miss.
Exercise your sense of
humor so you can trim your body, increase your joy and be a magnetic force that
attracts others to you. Let your fun, gregarious side shine and give gushing
benefits of laughter to everyone around you.
CAUTION: Laughs have been
known to be contagious.
