In my opinion, all the advice on how to encourage laughter in the workplace is funny to imagine but not very practical. I'm a primary school teacher and if I appear one monday morning in my class with a funny hat, the students this day will not learn anything and will be all day making jokes about my hat. By the other hand, I think taking time off to laugh for no reason at all, is a little utopic. I mean, I like to lauhg, a lot, but I need some reason or something funny to laugh at. I don't have the hability to laugh for no reason, so I think this advice is completely irreal. And last but not least, I think to spend time during the workday sending jokes by email to my co-workers would be totally inapropiate.
However, I would like to give some advice to take life with more positiveness and, in short, to be happier every day:
- Be grateful for everything you have and who you are. We are totally privileged and sometimes we don't see it.
- Stay calm, breathe and meditate in front of stressful or painful situations.
- Practice some mindfulness and be present on every moment in your life.
- Apreciate everything, even when you are doing something boring or doing something you don't like (cleaning dishes or waiting the bus).
- Smile more. I don't know how to laugh for no reason, but I know how to smile and this simple gesture will make others happy, include ourselves during the day.
