RATON practices the ART of humor

RATON constantly was trying to use humor,laughter and a good attitude to get things done . But how important is Humor really for a healthy [ATMOSPHERE]? And why do we need to laugh together as a group? Questions that are very complex to answer, but there are many studies out there that laughter is really the best medicine and not just a saying. 

Humor and laughter are extremely important elements of a happy and healthy life. In fact, we regard them as one of the five characteristic marks of any genuinely thriving life : conversation, laughter, time spent together and regular dinner with friends or family . What’s more, we’d suggest that laughter is one of the easiest and most fun ways to help us thrive. Laughter RATON believes is almost like an exercise in the gym .  Neurochemicals are released into the bloodstream, creating the same feelings that long-distance joggers experience as “runner’s high.” More Laughter most less likely reduces burnout and depression. People who laughed often have a better sense for Adventure , They do things , therefor often that turned them into leaders.

That’s because humor helps us cope, not just with trivial frustrations, but with genuine tragedy and permanent loss. It has been well said that “to have a sense of humor is to have an understanding of human suffering.” Laughter deflects negativity. It provides a positive distraction from hardship and helps us let off steam. In these ways, it plays an important role in guarding the wellsprings of the heart (Proverbs 4:23) and protecting the soul from bitterness (Hebrews 12:15). How can you turn your life around where everything around you is filled  with laughter and where family members actually get a kick out of being together? RATON has a few simple suggestions:

1. First, don’t take yourself so seriously. If you and the rest of your family are like most people, perspective is probably hard for you. You find it difficult to remember how small and insignificant you are in the grand scheme of things. You allow your petty trials and concerns to cast a pall of gloom over the entire universe. RATON'S advice is to lighten up and relax. Take a step back and try to get a sense of where you fit in the “bigger picture.” And remind yourself that God alone sees your situation as it really is. 
2. Second, resolve to laugh even when you don’t feel like laughing. It’s precisely when you’ve had a tough day that your need for a good laugh is most urgent. At such times, a bit of humor will help wash away the stress. It will also keep your marriage and family together when you’re coming unglued. 
3. Next, look for the humor around you. This may require some extra work, but it’s worth the effort. Once you open your eyes, you’ll find that life is full of good comedic material. Art Linkletter had it right when he said that “people are funny.” So stay on the lookout for the comic element in everyday life. If you can’t find it, create it for yourself. 
4. Discover what makes your spouse and children laugh. When you hear guffaws coming from their direction, pay attention and investigate the cause. Study their individual humor styles. Learn to distinguish between sarcasm, slapstick, irony, clownishness, and absurdity. Exploit your findings at least once a day. Pay special attention to the ways in which these humor styles reflect the various temperaments and personalities of your children. Think in terms of birth order. Learn to recognize each individual’s unique role in the family system. An awareness of these issues will help you find the correct balance between humor and sensitivity. 
5. Finally, learn how to poke fun at one another in a light-hearted, healthy, affirming, and non-derogatory way. A certain amount of good-natured “teasing” can actually increase feelings of intimacy among the members of your household. But be careful. Some skins are thinner than others. It’s all too easy for one person’s “joke” to become another person’s raw and bleeding wound. It may be acceptable for people to laugh at one another if they share a certain kind of relationship. But when that connection is lacking, it’s best to avoid the kind of “playfulness” that is all too easily interpreted as disrespect.
