Research has shown that the health benefits of laughter are far-ranging. Studies so far have shown that laughter can help relieve pain, bring greater happiness, and even increase immunity. Unfortunately, however, many people don't get enough laughter in their lives.
Laugh With Friends
Going to a movie or a comedy club with friends is a great way to get more laughter in your life. The appeal of laughter may mean you'll laugh more than you otherwise would have during the show. Making time for these kinds of fun is as important as any other habit you keep in your life to support your health.
Instead of complaining about life's difficulties, try to laugh about them. If something is so hard, realize that you could "look back on it and laugh". Think of how it will sound like a story you could tell your friends, and then see if you can laugh about it now. With this attitude, you may also find yourself being more lighthearted, giving yourself and those around you more to laugh about.
