Laugh Out Loud (Lol) 2

Mental Health Care

Man holding stomach as he laughs out loud.

Start counting the number of times you laugh a day. Set a goal to laugh more.

*  Check out funny YouTube videos.

*  Watch comedy shows and movies.

*  Get a joke sent to your email every day, such as throughajokeaday.com.

*  Act like a kid – tell and laugh at your own knock-knock jokes, hula hoop, or wear a fake mustache and glasses.

*  Consider joining a “Laughter Yoga” class. Learn lots of laughter techniques while you move in positions to relax your body and mind.
