make us feel happy
Listen For Understanding
There is a song that says, “Smile, though your heart is breaking.” Does it mean there is a relation between smiling and mood The answer is YES. Humour also has psychological effects on our mind. Scientists have proved that there is a two-way effect between smiling and mood: when we’re happy, we naturally smile; and when we smile, even if we don’t feel like it, it can also make us feel happy.

Listen For Understanding
Besides, when we incorporate humour as part of our life attitude, it can have far-reaching effects. What does “far-reaching effects” mean It means that it will have a great influence on how we live. We all know that 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 by it.
