"Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available." -Jim Beggs
Humour is very attractive!
All of us prefer to work with a pleasant, fun person. In fact, we are all attracted to those who have a sense of humour and use positive humour in their lives.
A positive sense of humour in the workplace guarantees better productivity, job satisfaction, morale, creativity, and teamwork. It also helps to reduce stress and therefore reduce absenteeism.
Humour works by distracting us from those negative things that are causing us both physical and emotional harm. Staying in a good frame of mind, and nurturing a good sense of humour, makes us less likely to get sick and heal faster, if we do end up with an illness.
Injecting a bit of humour is like pushing the reset button. It allows us to take a step back and look at the situation in a more realistic and rational way.
When we take things too seriously, the small things in life grow into imaginary mountains of anxiety and we get sick, become bitter, give-up hope, or burn out.
"Laughter is an instant vacation from everything that troubles us." -Milton Berle
