Amused

Humour is one of the best and most psychologically mature and healthy defences. It is a good way of controlling negative emtoions. Even when in great emotional pain, humour helps us detach from an event and maintain our dignity and a sense of self. When we make jokes about a bad situation, we still feel the bad feelings, but we can control them better.

Play peek-a-boo with a baby. Get a puppy. Hang around with funny people. Rediscover the old silent movies. Try to see the world through the eyes of your favourite comic. Laughters make us more receptive to new experiences, creates emotional intimacy and encourages us to take ourselves less seriously.

Like yawning, laughter is contagious. So mix with happy people and maintain happy relationships with friends.
