21 Ways to Get Yourself Laughing
-
Rent a movie, preferably
a comedy, or a DVD featuring the performance of a comic and kick
back on the sofa for some good laughs.
-
If you have pets, watch
them play. Their antics can be quite hilarious and good for some
belly-laughs. Heck, join in, and chase the ball. That way your dog
or cat can have a laugh too.
-
Buy a book with funny
sayings or a funny story and pull it out when you need a good laugh.
Bathroom humor, jokes, and zany happenings, are the best books to
bring on the laughs.
-
Get out your photo albums
and chuckle over past hair do's that were really don'ts, and the
outlandish fashions from yesteryear.
-
Begin sharing
remembrances of funny family incidents with a loved one and before
you know it you'll both be holding your stomachs from laughing so
much.
-
Get a funny calendar for
your desk at work and thumb through it when you need a laugh to
de-stress a bit. Who cares if your co-workers think you have lost
your mind. In fact, that thought should cause at least a guffaw.
-
Get yourself some really
funny cassettes and CDs to listen to at home or in the car for a
"tickle" to your funny bone sure to produce a laugh or two.
-
Watch and listen to your
kids at play for an endless supply of laughs straight from these
natural-comedians.
-
Devise a plan with your
significant other, or a friend to surprise each other with gag
gifts. Then you can roar
with laughter together over them.
-
Read the funnies to get
some laughs.
-
Cartoons aren't just for
kids. Tune in to children's' cartoons and laugh your head off. So
what if for 30 minutes the kids seem more mature than you?
-
Get out, or borrow a
child's game and have as much fun and laughs as you did when you
played with them as a child.
-
Cut out pictures from
magazines that make you laugh and put them in places like the
bathroom mirror, closet, dresser drawer, and on the fridge. When you
pass by them during the day, you can have a quick laugh.
-
Attend a live comedy show
for laugh-riot entertainment.
-
Play a harmless prank on
a friend, such as a dribble-glass, and you will both have a good
laugh. Remember that any prank that hurts someone's feelings or is
dangerous isn't funny.
-
Go shopping and try on
the gaudiest outfit in the store, or better yet, convince someone
else to do it. Nothing causes more laughter than some designer's
ideas of fashion. Buy a pair of goofy-looking shoes and have the
nerve to walk around in them. You and everyone that spies them will
be laughing-hard.
-
Have a joke-telling
session with family or friends. Even if the jokes aren't so great,
you're sure to laugh over it anyhow. Give the best joke teller a
funny gift and have another round of laughs.
-
Have a good old
tickle-fight with somebody.
-
Buy a stuffed animal
programmed to say something funny and activate it often.
-
Surround yourself with
people who love to laugh because laughing is contagious.
-
Make yourself laugh.
That's right! Just tell yourself to laugh and listen to yourself and
feel your body's reaction as you force a laugh out. You'll feel good
from head to toe. Also a good forced laugh usually results in a good
case of the giggles. Stop taking yourself so seriously and put more
laughter in your life.
