“LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE”

Humor enhances our ability to affiliate or
connect with others.

Humor helps us replace distressing emotions
with pleasurable feelings. You cannot feel
angry, depressed, anxious, guilty, or
resentful and experience humor at the same time.

Lacking humor will cause one’s thought
processes to stagnate leading to increased distress.

Humor changes behavior - when we experience
humor we talk more, make more eye contact with
others, touch others, etc.

Humor increases energy, and with increased energy
we may perform activities that we might otherwise avoid.

Finally, humor is good for mental health because
it makes us feel good!

Keep laughing life is way too short.
