The Spice of Life (Part 2)

When we are happy, we are light-hearted. We are open to others and ready to laugh and play. We laugh when we see things presented in unexpected ways. TV sitcoms and comics give us daily reminders of how to twist what we expect to see or hear to make it funny.
 
When life seems good, the world seems safe. And at these times we find the confidence and the strength to deal with the challenges of everyday living.

Knowing how to add humour to our conversations and to our activities keeps us happy and confident and connected with others. Conflicts and differences of opinions are prevented or managed. Humorous comments help us see a situation realistically.

Organizing fun activities throughout the year keeps us feeling happy and strong. Having a fundraising event, a surprise birthday, a Halloween costume party or a scavenger hunt helps. The key to a successful event is choosing activities that invite individuals to feel comfortable enough to be spontaneous when they interact with others. They need to be noticed and appreciated for their contribution.

Here are some fun things to say to manage a stressful situation.

• You are terrific

• Is it my turn to win?

• Is it too late to apologise?

• You’re younger, you know best.

• My mother wants me to stop now.

Here are some fun things to do:

• Dance naked in front of your pets.

• Get a tattoo.

• Eat dessert first.

• Make a home made birthday card.

• Pop popcorn with the lid off.

• Tell stories about great personal successes or embarrassments

 
Humour is the spice of life. It brings happiness. It decreases pain. It enhances speaking well and listening well.

Humour is the shortest distance between two people.
