You may feel particularly upbeat and good-humored today. As you traverse your social, domestic, and professional spheres, situations that might once have frustrated you can seem funny and amusing. Since you are likely in a happy and lighthearted mood, you may be more apt than usual to play tricks on your loved ones or share jokes with your associates. This can be a wonderful time to gather your family and friends in your home for an evening of humorous entertainment such as comedic films or games like charades. Your outgoing nature can help you spread cheer among the people you encounter throughout your day. You may discover today that you can handle unexpected or challenging situations with grace and good humor.

Laughter can have a profoundly positive effect on both the physical and mental selves. Humor puts a situation into perspective--when we can laugh at even a single aspect of an unpleasant incident, that incident is redeemed in our minds and becomes instantly less formidable. As you laugh, your state of mind is transformed into one of lightheartedness and, as a result, anxiety melts away. Likewise, a hearty bout of laughter is typically followed by a period of intense relaxation in which the mind is released from the shackles of lingering stress. Humor plays an integral part in the relationships that keep you healthy, as it is through laughter that you bond most easily with others. As you laugh and spread your humorous mood among others today, feelings of well-being will surge up within you.
