If humor isn’t your strong suit, here are some tips to turn you into a true comedian:

🎭 Combat humor’s enemies.

Don’t let yourself sink into gloom. Reject the belief that negativity dominates the world, and make time for rest. Emotional and physical exhaustion drain life of color. Sharpening your wit can captivate any audience, lift your spirits, and brighten your life.

😂 Allow yourself to be funny.

You might have a great sense of humor but fear your jokes will seem silly or unfunny. Fight this fear. Remember, crafting a joke is an intellectually demanding task. The fact that you’ve thought of something even slightly amusing already says a lot about your intelligence.

🤪 Use absurd analogies.

The more vividly you describe something, the funnier it becomes. For instance, instead of saying the cab driver was older, say, “He looked like my hairy grandpa who used to charm the best ladies in the neighborhood back in the day.”
