Laughter improves health, mood, and social skills, and is now even used as a therapy (laughter yoga was started in Mumbai by Dr. Made Katarina, who is now happily running over 5,000 clubs worldwide). So raise those endorphin levels and have a good chuckle, whether that's by watching a funny film or just being a bit silly.

How often do you laugh heartily?

Television and also social media for that matter has its redeeming values, but mostly it bombards us with images of conflict, violence and exploitation.

Try cutting down TV time gradually by substituting other activities that you find enjoyable. Have a family games night, take the dog for a walk or read a book. Have days with no television.

How much time do you spend daily watching TV? Let me know in the comments below.

Have the strength to express your feelings. Have the courage to live the way you want to.

Comment below if you find yourself suppressing your feelings to keep the peace. How does it make you feel?
