#MotivationMonday: It’s okay to make fun of yourself

Learn how to laugh at yourself! Life is supposed to be joyful and fun, so stop taking yourself and everything else so seriously. Everyone messes up, trips, says the wrong thing and makes a goof of themselves from time to time… it means you’re human like the rest of us. Instead of bumming out, have yourself a laugh and move on!

When I was in College, my friends loved it whenever I was around (okay maybe that’s what I just think haha). I think I have the magic ability that can make them laugh and forget our assignments and projects for a few moments. Also my blogger friends can attest to that (please do say yes!!! hahaha) .

I have to admit, it’s amusing to make fun of other people, and I am guilty with that sin. But for me, it more fun to sometimes make fun of yourself too.

According to a study, being able to laugh at oneself is not only a distinct trait, but is also linked with having an upbeat personality and good mood and maybe the foundation for a good sense of humor (read more HERE)

For me, doing that doesn’t mean you don’t love or respect yourself, instead, it means you are confident that the people hearing your jokes will see that you are humble and you accept your imperfections lightly.

If we are together and I am doing this in front of you, it also means that I am comfortable being with you and that you should be proud of that (hahahahaha).
