Laughter has the ability to instantly release all your tension. It also has an almost magical effect of inducing laughter in others. Laughter is such a powerful medicine that there are actually laughter clinics in existance.
This may be hard to take on board when you are feeling really low and down in the dumps. Equally it’s difficult to see the funny side of things when in an extremely tense situation.
There is a very simple solution though, it comes back once again to your subconscious mind . The subconscious mind is like a child, it really cannot tell the difference between reality and pretense.
So all you need to do is to play ‘let’s pretend’, and pretend to laugh. Try it now, not just once or twice, but keep it up. Try to make it as realistic as possible, you could pretend that you are auditioning , or pretend that you are finding something funny. You could even conjure up an image of somebody in the most ridiculous situation that you can think of. How about a past incident that you found side splitting funny? When was the last time something made you laugh uncontrollably ?
Why don’t you start adding a little genuine fun and laughter into your life? Watch a funny film, a comedy, a silly ‘old hat’ television program, read a humorous book. Challenge yourself, see how many ways you can find to lighten up your life.
