Laughing-and-joking-will-give-you-a-brighter-outlook-and-provide-a-good-workout-PIC-POSED-BY-MODELS
If your imagination starts to run in a negative way, recognise that this is only your imagination. Stop, take hold of it, tell yourself you are in control and think of at least three different outcomes that are positive and fun.

How to laugh more

1 Note how many times you smile each day and try to increase this by 10 per cent. It may feel fake at first but smiling is a natural act and can lead to laughter.

2 Look for opportunities to do good for other people and create a moment of magic in someone else’s life.

3 Act on your positive impulses. It is often impulsive behaviour that shifts our lives in new and interesting directions. It adds variety that we all know is the spice of life.

4 Think about where you can create more laughter in your life and the lives of people around you. Work out what really makes you laugh.

5 Take control of your own happiness. Don’t wait for others to make you happy or sit around hoping for things to change.

He hoped to find water, and happily flew down.
However, there was only a little water in the bottom of the flask.
The crow tried very hard to reach the water, but he could not.
At last he had an idea.
The crow collected stones one by one with his beak.
Then he dropped the stones one by one into the flask.
Soon the water came up to the top of the flask where he could drink it.
