Three Funny Things
Get happier by seeing the humor in life.
1. What were the three funniest things you experienced today?
List three humorous moments from your day, big or small. Be specific about what happened, who was involved, and where it took place.
2. How did each funny moment make you feel?
Describe the emotions you experienced during or after each humorous event. Did you feel warm, amused, giggly, or something else entirely?
3. Why do you think each of these moments was funny?
Reflect on the reasons behind the humor. Was it unexpected? Absurd? A play on words? Understanding why something tickles your funny bone can help you appreciate humor more deeply.
4. Which of today's funny moments do you think you'll remember the longest, and why?
Consider which humorous event stood out the most. What made it particularly memorable or impactful?
5. How can you create more opportunities for humor in your life?
Brainstorm ways to invite more laughter into your daily routine. Could you watch more comedies, spend time with funny friends, or practice seeing the lighter side of challenging situations?
Don't worry about perfect grammar or spelling – focus on capturing the essence of each funny moment. Try to complete this exercise at the same time each day, perhaps before bed, to establish a consistent habit of recognizing and appreciating humor in your life.
