Laughter is really funny

Laugh loudly for about three minutes. Nothing much seems to matter after that and the sense of liberation is extraordinary. Yes, you really will love pineapples when you’ve done this. Once you’ve gotten into this habit you’ll start looking for things that make you laugh.

Use your sense of curiosity to have some fun and awaken your brain. Most of the time when we are grumpy or fed up it’s because our brain has gone to sleep and we aren’t being attentive to the bizarre things going on around us. Be an inquisitive sponge, keep your radar tuned up, and start chuckling. Ideas come from what you see and the connections you make.
Things to do when you want to get your laughter muscles working include going shopping. Walk around a few shops to see what’s new, what’s fun, what’s interesting-new foods-new appliances-new clothes-new anything. Or you could “people-watch” – at an airport, central square, large department store, a bookshop or a bar. Or if you are a bit more adventurous you could fly somewhere-anywhere-and compare the experience of being here with being here.
In Geneva recently I was giggling at the sheer abundance of watch ads including one that proudly proclaimed the maker was “a master of ambiguity.”
Intelligent enthusiasm is fed by a sense of curiosity and a sense of humor.

You’ll find losing control is hilarious

Hearty laughter makes you feel younger. Watch a small child laugh with that uncontrollable joy rocking them to the core of their being; laugh and you’ll feel the refreshment of youth. You’ll feel those cobwebs of double blown away.
Someone took his advice. He stood up to present feeling strangely confident. But as he started speaking he recalled the image of himself as a tubby man completely naked, rehearsing the night before. He got the giggles. So badly he had to stop his presentation. And then he left it only fair to explain why he’d been laughing. By now the whole audience was in hysterics. When they’d all recovered he started again. It was a great presentation brilliantly received.
That’s what laughter can do.
