When was the last time you had a good laugh? We’re talking unrestrained giggles that make your stomach hurt! If you think it’s been too long, you’re not alone. Most adults laugh a fraction of what little kids do in a day (surprise, surprise!).
Laughter helps reduce stress, improve moods, and it even boosts our immune system. Not to mention the immediate emotional and physical release we get from a good giggle feels amazing!
Try to get in a few extra laughs each day. Who knows, you might even laugh so hard you get a coworker or family member to join in!
Tips
Liven up your day with these 7 silly tips that are guaranteed to make you laugh!
Mon: Laugh in the morning.
Want to start your day with a smile? Take a 5-minute laugh break! Add some humor to your morning routine with a daily comic strip, joke-of-the-day calendar, or funny podcast.
Tues: Find funny friends.
We all have that friend who makes us laugh uncontrollably, regardless of the mood we’re in. Surrounding yourself with people who are funny is one of the easiest ways to include more laughter in your day!
Wed: Take a laughter yoga class.
No need to focus on deep, serious thoughts at this yoga class. Laughter yoga classes combine traditional yoga breathing with laughing exercises. The goal? Laugh for no reason!
Thurs: Animal and baby antics.
Puppies, kittens, and babies, oh my! Watching these precious little ones maneuver through life is both heartwarming and hilarious. If you don’t have in-person access, there are tons of videos online guaranteed to make you smile!
Fri: Watch a funny show.
We often forget how a funny sitcom makes us laugh. Watch your favorite show while folding laundry or walking on the treadmill — just don’t fall off from laughing too hard!
Sat: Create a laughter book.
Do you have a funny saying or photo that makes you laugh? Gather your favorite quotes or photos that make you smile, and add them to a photo book. Look through the pages when you need a good laugh!
Sun: Laugh at yourself.
Most of us take ourselves way too seriously. Do something you’re not good at, like dancing, and learn to laugh at yourself. You’ll learn a new skill, and see how good it feels to be silly!
