Ha-ha, he he, lol are a few ways to express laughter. Exercise your funny bone during National Humor Month. This national holiday is celebrated each year in April and is about encouraging humor in your life.

National Humor Month was created in 1976 by Larry Wilde to show that humor is a useful tool in uplifting one’s spirits. Statistics show that laughter brings happiness and joy in our lives. Did you know that the average adult laughs 17 times a day?

Now that all the facts are out of the way, how will you celebrate National Humor Month? Here are 3 ideas to kick off your celebration:

1.      Make an “already done” list and celebrate your accomplishments.

2.      Take breaks during your day to do something fun – think back to your childhood days, what games did you like? Try a weighted hula hoop, play jacks, or create a hopscotch on a sidewalk.

3.      Organize a hum-along at work – Dedicate Fridays as Fun Friday. Begin each Friday with a hum-along. Hum songs and have coworkers guess the song.

(adapted from Humorist & National Speaker, Scott Friedman’s  10 ways to celebrate National Humor Month).

During humor month and beyond, build a humor habit. Find something to laugh about every day. Start a humor notebook, jot down funny quotes or things you hear during each day. Funny is all around us – a slip of the tongue, a sign that can be interpreted or misinterpreted in different ways or anything that makes you smile.
