at home
· arrange a weekly family laughing session; watch
comedy videos, tell jokes
· use humour to diffuse potential arguments
· reinforce positiveness in yourself and in others by
lavishing praise and being congratulatory

on the move
· expect the unexpected and be prepared for anything
· acknowledge that delays can happen so don’t get
angry
· carry a ‘smiley’ badge or gadget; glance at it
occasionally

at work
· promote humour; have a lunch-time joke session, send
a joke a week to your colleagues by e-mail
· don’t let your mistakes gnaw away at you; get it out
of your system; write them down, put them to one
side and move on
· hold a weekly competition with a prize for the most
garish tie, the most unususal earrings, the funniest
hat
