Para 3 (Body) -- sort out the psychological effects of humour on our mind.
Scientists have proved that there is a two-way effect between smiling and mood.
When we incorporate humour as part of our life attitude, it can have far-reaching effects.
It means that it will have a great influence on how we live. If we are in a bad mood, we are likely to express negative attitudes and feelings; and this makes those around us down, too. But if we always try to be positive and funny, people will enjoy our company and feel energised.
When we’re happy we naturally smile.
When we smile, even if we don’t feel like it, it can also make us feel happy.
