Hey, like the head line says, lighten up. Don’t be so serious. When the joke’s on you, don’t get mad or even, laugh, even if you feel you’ve been dissed. Laughing is the opposite of stress. Every second you spend in laughter will help you to live longer, plus, laughter might just be the epitome of HAPPINESS itself.

Every time you get one of those gut-wrenching, fall-on-the-floor, laugh-so-hard-you-cry moments, this might just be as good as it gets. Make it last as long as possible, and think of the reason often. Take every opportunity to laugh, even if you don’t find the joke particularly funny.

If you take yourself too seriously, it is easier to feel as though you’ve been disrespected, and resort to anger and irrational outbursts. Strangers don’t know how serious you are, and so an off-hand remark by them while in line at the convenience store, while harmless by their standards, might just make you blow up. Don’t let a dumb comment by a stranger or anyone else for that matter set you off.

Do you value the person’s opinion that much, even though you don’t agree, that you would allow them to make you angry? You might as well assume the comment is harmless and forget about it. No matter who says it, or what slur it could possibly be taken as, just assume it meant nothing, no matter how it sounded. Your world will be a better place if you do.
