This IG Page Promises To “Heal Through Laughter”, Here Are 50 Memes That Do Exactly That
What comes to your mind when you think about self-care? Laying in a bubble bath with a face mask on? Going for a jog or to an exercise class? Taking a nap in the middle of a workday? All of these are valid forms of giving yourself some TLC.
But have you ever thought of memes as a form of self-care? Scientists do agree that laughter is the best medicine, so there is some good in them.
The memes in the following list were compiled from an Instagram account dedicated to “healing through laughter.” The creators of the page advocate for self-care as well as physical and mental wellbeing and hope to brighten the days of their followers.
Just like anything else, though, they should be consumed in moderation, so no endless scrolling until you feel numb. Just enough to cheer you up so you can get on with the rest of your lovely day. Enjoy!

If you feel like you need more than just a couple of memes to get your laughter fix, plan a fun movie night or sprinkle the fun throughout the week by picking up a comedy series to watch. Your best bet is tuning into a show or a movie that you have already watched and loved in the past as this guarantees a couple of things.
First, you will not be disappointed. You know the humor will suit you and you’ll enjoy both the characters and the plot. Choosing a new film or series is much more of a risk: what if you don’t like the style of comedy? What if the ending is disappointing? So, opt for your own personal classic to get exactly what you need.

Choosing an entertainment piece that you have already seen will be a more restorative experience, too. One study has shown that if you have had a tough day, tuning into something familiar can be restorative. It eliminates the pressure of choosing something that has to entertain you and instead just offers pure pleasure without putting too much energy into it.
In addition, you won’t need to tire yourself focusing on a new plot and getting familiarized with the characters. After all, getting to know them is like getting to know a real new person. If you opt to watch something with a group of characters you already know, you won’t have to put in the extra effort in the viewing. It will be like meeting your good old group of friends.
Another more passive way of getting your laughs in is by watching stand-up comedy. There are plenty of specials on YouTube as well as on various streaming services, so dig around and you’ll find something that suits your taste. Better yet, see if you can catch a live show somewhere. It will add a community aspect to the already fun experience.

LOL. No longer a thing. I stream my music through my phone into my car audio system. I get the great songs on demand.
If you are thinking about getting even more proactive about your fun-related self-care, see if you can take up a fun hobby. For example, improv can be a very fun experience that can also help you make friends. Through it, you become an active participant in a fun scenario that can make you and others laugh. In addition, you can also grow a little more confident and comfortable in your skin.

I don't get why people hate that. Why do I have to spend 20 minutes of my time typing and interacting with you, when it can all be over in 2 minutes' time?

It's almost always the quiet ones where everyone is saying that nothing could shake them.
If improv is taking things a little too far, you can start small by practicing laughing yoga or laughing meditation on your own. The principle of it is quite simple: you voluntarily laugh to change your mood. And, as far as we know, it works.

Honestly though, the chair is at least being more helpful than some people..
Laughing yoga can feel awkward and weird at first, but once you get into the habit of it, it’s pretty fun. Just like improv, it helps with shedding embarrassment and discomfort. Joining a group of laughing yogis elevates the experience even more, so look into what’s available for you locally or online.

The one time a spider scared me was, when I was lying in bed in pitch black and looking onto my smart phone when out of the dark a spider just ran across the screen.
Another fun self-care practice that allows you to dial into yourself is keeping a laughter journal. In it, you note down what made you laugh and smile that day. Maybe it’s things you’ve seen, a joke you heard, or a comment that your friend made. Reflecting on these moments and writing them all down will give you another chance to appreciate the joy it brought you. The journal will also serve as a reminder of how much fun you’re having daily.

adhd! ADHD! Drink some coffee, start to vibrate! ANXIETY (To the tune of under the sea)
All in all, there are a lot of ways to bring more joy and laughter into your everyday life. And whether you actively seek it or simply choose to notice it more, it can make you feel better. Laughter is a form of self-care after all.

Does that mean homophobes would attract gay people? Maybe that was their goal all along!

A lot of these are funny, but I thought it was too long. Not a meme - once I was on a bus, there were two ladies laughing hysterically and I was intruigued. One lady would say 'innit though' the other one would laugh until tears were rolling down her face, and she would reply ''yeah innit' (innit is a common English saying) I was mystified that a word could cause so much amusement. :)
