Tip #14: Don’t Get Mad… Get Glad!
Respond to a frustrating or disappointing event with humor, rather than anger.
Make it a habit to respond with humor.
People will be shocked that you can find humor in many situations, rather than getting upset or berating them. It eases tension and allows everyone to be “human” rather than trying to be “perfect.”
If you continue to train yourself to respond this way, it will become a habit and people will find it easier to be “human” around you because they know you won’t just blow up any time anything goes wrong.
I believe that’s one of the reasons why my hubby Bruce and I have recently celebrated our 33rd anniversary… we laugh about almost everything! In fact, there are times when I’ll have to say to him, “Would you please be serious for just one minute?”
But I’d rather have it that way than having to ask him, “Would you please lighten up?”
