By laughing frequently and taking a lighter view of life,
you will find that life is much more enjoyable and fun.
Researchers are discovering that laughter enhances the
immune system and promotes improved physiology.
Recent medical research has also confirmed that laughter
enhances the blood flow to the body’s extremities and
improves cardiovascular function, plays an active part in
the body’s release of endorphins and other natural mood
elevating and pain-killing chemicals, improves the
transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs.
Here are eight tips to help you have more laughter in your
life:

especially your shortcomings or mistakes. We all have little idiosyncrasies or
behaviours that are unique to us that we can recognize and enjoy. Do not take yourself too seriously.

good jokes. Humour and laughter make life more enjoyable.

Read comics that you find funny and follow it.
Humour varies in each and every individual. What one may find funny,
the other person may
not, but the comics or “funny papers” have something
for everybody. Read them thoroughly to find a comic strip
that you find particularly funny and look for it every day
or week.

Watch a funny movie with a friend.

yourself laughing harder and longer than if you had seen

nephews, or neighborhood children with whose families you
are friendly.
