Is your life dull and boring? Are you unhappy with the way you are leading your everyday life? Laughter is very important for living and is a vital part of healthy living. It helps in relieving tension, reducing stress, making you relax, and increases your happiness. Here are some ways following which you can bring more laughter in your life:

1. Connect with an old friend

   • Remembering funny incidents, stories, and hilarious moments can make you revisit old days and laugh.
2. Humour in your everyday life
   • Laughter and fun can be found in all places. You need to find them out.
   • There can be a lot of common, ordinary things which are ironically or sarcastically funny. Observe humorous moments from everything around you and share them with your people.
3. Watch your favourite television shows
   • Watching your favourite comedy shows and programs on the tv will bound to loosen you up.
   • Instead of watching deep movies that are thought to provoke, something light and capable of making you laugh is also important.
4. Spend time with children
   • Kids are uninhabited, simple and happy beings. You will be able to recall your childhood by talking to children. This is a great way to make you laugh.
5. Have sleepovers
   • Sleepovers may be old fashioned, but they are a source of unadulterated laughter.
   • Inviting friends over for movies and makeovers paves the way for unlimited laughter all night long.
6. Visit amusement parks
   • Amusement parks are a great way of having fun and also realising how you can laugh at simple things.
   • Visit amusement parks with your friends or family and have a great time laughing.
7. Listen to funny songs from your childhood
   • Listening to your favourite funny songs from childhood is a nice way for you to loosen up.
   • It will remind you of your memories with that song, which is bound to make you recapitulate and laugh.
8. Play in bouncy houses
   • You should hop in bouncy houses that are meant for children.
   • You can come across these at birthday parties, community events, and play centres. Jumping and laughing are sure to give you a good time.

You should also try to make the people around you laugh. Hearing the laughter of others will surely make you laugh as well as it is very much contagious. Tell ridiculous jokes and rhymes to make your friends and close ones burst out in laughter, which will be a matter to laugh about for you as well. 

Ultimately laughter and joy resides within us. It is some stimulation outside that makes us laugh, but the joy is within and we need to put efforts to explore it and bring it out. So always look out for how can you make your life more vibrant and fun. The source to happiness is always within.
