What is your sense of humor IQ?

 

Psychologists say laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Also, it is one of the quickest ways to chase negative thoughts away. With your busy schedule you might ask, who has time to laugh? A better question would be, who has time to NOT laugh?  

 

Laughter is good for the body, mind, and soul. When it comes to our emotional well-being, its benefits have been compared to the effects of exercise. Laughter is not something that happens on a regular basis unless you make it so. The best way to make sure you laugh every day is to schedule opportunities for laughter into your lifestyle, which includes 30 minutes of laughter every day. You can begin with a sitcom that makes you smile. Eventually, it will make you laugh because no matter how many negative thoughts you process each day, the brain can be retrained to seek happiness. No matter how depressed you might feel, laughter can be scheduled into your lifestyle, and with practice, the brain will accept it. Remember, practice makes perfect. You can improve your sense of humor IQ.
