1. Listen to or watch other people laugh.
Yes, laughter is contagious. Whenever I have laughing spells (or laugh attacks as I call them), everyone else around me starts laughing, which in turn makes me laugh even harder. If you want more proof than that, here is a link to a video called “Skype Laughter Chain”. Warning: this video may cause moments of uncontrollable laughter. Viewer discretion is advised.
2. Ask someone to make funny faces
They are called “funny” faces for a reason. I know it isn’t much, but sometimes it’s the little things that make me laugh. After all, a little goes a long way, right?
3. Watch people ride the “sling shot” ride
Don’t get me started on this. Just thinking about it is enough to make me smile and eventually break the silence by falling out laughing.
4. Think back to something funny that happened in the past
As I mentioned before, I can laugh about something that happened years ago. We have all had something funny happen to us or someone we know. If you need a good laugh, think about that certain funny thing that happened a while back. Trust me, it works. Well, if you’re easily amused like me.
These are some of the things I do when the mood strikes to have a laugh attack. Here is my definition of “laugh attack”:
Laugh attack (noun) - a moment in which one starts laughing and can’t stop for the life of them. Side effects may include bending over, the inability to speak, and “craughing” (crying and laughing).
Whenever you are feeling sad, stressed out, or angry, remember to have a good laugh. It might just help you to get in a better, happier mood. What are some of the things you do when you need to laugh? Let me know in the comments!
