HABITS OF MIND NEWS
April’s Habit of Mind — Finding Humor
“What is an astronaut’s favorite place on the computer? Answer: The space bar”
People who laugh a lot usually have a positive attitude and the ability to find humor even when things are not going well. Because they are fun to be around, others gravitate toward them and they generally have a strong social network that benefits them and everyone with whom they interact.
According to James J. Walsh, MD., people who laugh actually live longer than those who don’t laugh. So, keep your brain active by finding the humor in situations–especially when you are needing some relief from stress or frustration.
“Warning: Humor may be hazardous to your illness.” ~Ellie Katz
