Break A Bad Mood And Get Happy

People who are able to feel happy for the majority of the time have the ability to break a negative state of mind at will. They recognize that the negative thoughts are valuable as a means to understand where their life or thoughts are out of balance, but beyond that they don't dwell on the negative. Having taken the lesson from the unhappy experience they break their state by employing one of various techniques. One of those techniques is to use humor.

Share A Joke

Reading jokes is an excellent way of taking your thoughts to a happier place, and it gets even better if you share the joke.

To be honest, I couldn't remember a joke to save my life, but thanks to the Internet there are hundreds of humor sites around with some pretty funny jokes. At the very least they're amusing and that's often enough to do the job.

Send Funnies On Your Phone

Like I said, I can't remember jokes so I find the funnies online and use my cell phone to send them. I'll go to a humor site and pick a good joke, download it to my phone and fire it off. It's so quick and easy and has benefit beyond that which you yourself derive.

You can be pretty much assured that any new or topical joke is going to get passed on. People just love to be the first to find a new joke and won't be able to resist forwarding it. You'll be spreading the happiness!

Rhyme Time

If you don't like jokes, you might like limericks. There are plenty of those on the net and if you don't find one that suits the recipient or the situation, you can make your own up, they're really easy. Find an online rhyming dictionary and you should find no problem in constructing your own limerick.

In some ways I prefer limericks to jokes, because I find it easier to invent a limerick than a joke. Plus limericks can be personalized for added effect.

Funny Movie Lines

It might be that one-liners from movies are more your thing? These are really easy to find on the net too. I love the Marx Brothers movies and they're just jam packed with hilarious lines.

It's the same for funny and witty quotes. They all have the same effect of lifting the spirit just long enough to distract your mind and break the mood.

Share A Really Bad Joke

The jokes sometimes don't even need to be funny, they can be real groaners or puns. Bad jokes often make us laugh just because they're so bad.

Grab some jokes from the Internet and send them on your phone - email them - print them out and send them snail mail.

Beat That Bad Mood

So go on, joke around. Beat your own bad mood while you spread happiness and laughter to your friends and family.
