April 1

Lighten Up

April Fool’s Day is the perfect day to remind us that life doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes a little silly humor will lighten up your mood and take the edge of your stress.  

Today is the perfect day to lighten up and have some fun. See the funny side of life. Look for the humor in the ordinary.

Easy up on yourself, relax a little, smile, laugh, don’t be so hard on yourself, don’t be so hard on others.

See if you can make someone laugh or smile. You don’t need elaborate pranks just something simple that lightens up the mood or any tension that might be in the air.

Tell a few jokes, sing a silly song, or dance a jig. Add a little merriment to your day. 

Be carefree, happy go lucky, cheerful, and merry. Be delightful, amusing, giddy and funny. Be easy going, optimistic, hopeful.

Life is not meant to always be serious and busy. Life is to be enjoyed. Find a balance between being serious and being carefree.

Simple pleasures like, watching a funny movie, having a chuckle, walking barefoot.  

To be more lighthearted,

• Smile
• Laugh
• Sing & Dance
• Accept your feelings and the feelings of others
• Let go of controlling things, go with the flow
• Do things you love
• Create surprises and be open to surprises
• Look for the joy, be joyful
• See the positive, look for the gift or blessing
• Don’t sweat the small stuff

What can you do to lighten up your day? What can you do to lighten up someone else’s day?

Be Lighthearted
