Published August 13, 2023
If life has been feeling a little heavy to you lately, take a few minutes to enjoy these joke quotes.
National Tell a Joke Day occurs every August 16, and it’s a day that I think everyone should celebrate.
Life can be full of challenges.
And it’s easy to get carried away watching the news headlines or scrolling through social media only to feel overwhelmed and stressed.
Sometimes it seems like the world is falling apart.
The statistics around the increasing number of people struggling with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression are concerning, to say the least.
And after the last several years, we’ve all felt the pressure of life in one way or another—or multiple ways, which is why we need to take the opportunity to laugh more.
Is laughter really the best medicine?
You’ve probably heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.”
Research has found numerous benefits of laughter over the years, including:
- Improves immune system
- Relieves pain
- Activates the stress response
- Soothes tension
- Improves your mood
- Increases personal satisfaction
With all those benefits, why wouldn’t we focus on laughing more?
My grandmother-in-law has taught me this lesson and reminded me of it often.
She has faced more than her fair share of challenges in life.
She’s outlived two of her children, experienced a painful divorce, and watched as Alzheimer’s took both her mom and her second husband from her.
At the end of 2020, I sat with her in the hospital as she discovered she had a stroke that left her blind in one eye.
As we sat there all day, we laughed plenty as she shared with the doctors and nurses why it’s so important to laugh because sometimes it’s all you can do.
So, if you’re feeling the heaviness of life right now, read through the list of joke quotes below, choose your favorites, and share them with others to pass along the benefits of laughter.
Let me start with my all-time favorite joke:
