Finding Humour In Difficult Times
It quite easy for us to laugh our hearts out when something funny or comical is happening and when none of that seems to happen (especially when the going gets quite tough), we don't seem to see anything worth laughing about. But it is in those moments that it is most important that we find humour in almost everything surrounding us (and in that situation).

When the going gets tough or the struggles get "real", we get too serious trying to figure things out that we end up losing sight of what laughter is and how it really feels to have a good laugh. We forget that even in those tough times, there is always something to laugh over.
Humour adds spice to life, it heals souls, it uplifts you, it makes life worth living and it makes it all clear to us that life really isn't supposed to be as serious as we tend to make it seem.
Problems always have some sort of sense of humour in them, you just gotta look (with a less serious lens), you will find it's gonna make you laugh. Once you are able to find the humour in that difficult situation, you begin to win over it.

Finding humour or laughing at really tough situations isn't one of the easiest things to do but it is one of the most rewarding and healing things you can do in such situations.
When it seems like you don't have control over situations, laugh at it. When you make some crazy mistakes, laugh at them. When you fall, laugh (and then get up).
Don't let yourself get too serious trying to solve problems, it will only drain you, stress you out and most times you end up not finding the solutions you were seriously looking for. Being able to see the humour even in the toughest situations helps us tackle our problems with a more positive outlook.
Laughing might not solve your problems instantly but mentally, its gonna do a whole lot to you. A bit of humour during those difficult situations is gonna ease the pain or struggles you may be going through.
It's always great to have friends you can laugh over these challenges with, it helps a great deal. You feel the bond you guys share when you laugh, you forget the problems for a while and then, you encourage each other to keep moving.

Life itself is funny, I'm sure we all have seen some really funny twist and turns that life sometimes comes up with. Laugh at it as much as you can. Sometimes, that's what you need to walk through this life- just a bit of humour and it doesn't have to come in a "grand style". In fact, laughing at obstacles or challenges can open your eyes to seeing ways you could solve that problem.
Don't wait till your problems are solved before you laugh, laugh your way through these problems, crush these obstacles with laughter and be your best self.
Spot the humour in those tensed situations and don't forget to give yourself the permission to have a good laugh. It would be worth it, I promise.

Much Love, Audrey

Finding humour when things are so so difficult is very hard. I hardly do that. I only bone and hope within me that things will get better in distance time.
I totally get how it hard it can be but I believe it is a much needed attitude during those times. It gets better with time and practice. Try it, you'll see!
If I practice it, I will feel as though am fulfilled. The motive strive for a better life will no longer be there.
Its quite different with me...

You are absolutely right, of course, although it can be quite challenging to find the humorous in situations that are really getting us down. Or in prolonged life situations not going well, that you have little control over for many months... but I try. I think the secret is to focus less on the "big" picture and find the little things that are humorous.
=^..^=
Oh yeah, that's the secret. Thank you for stopping by!
Wise words, well said @audreybits!
Thank you so much!
Yes! It's so true! I think life is a lot better when we can have a sense of humor about things... especially the hardest stuff. When things get really heavy, and it feels like everything is piling on top of itself, one thing after another, you almost have to laugh about it. It's in those moments that I take a step back, mentally, and try to look at it from the outside... if all this was happening in a movie, how would it look? I would probably be laughing, like "wow, this is so ridiculous! Hahaha!"
Everything gets better with a little bit of humor! Understanding that helps us to walk through life with less stress, I am glad you have been able to understand and practice that!
