So, learn to laugh. Learn to share your laugh. Laughter is not the best medicine, it's life and what's more, it's free.

A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically.

Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing. ~Ken Kesey

Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter. ~Friedrich Nietzsche.
Approach life in a more mirthful way and you'll find that you're not only less stressed about negative events, you'll also achieve the health benefits of laughter.
Laughter is good for your health.
Laughter relaxes the whole body.
Laughter boosts the immune system.
Laughter protects the heart.
A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
Laughter connects us with others. Also, laughter is contagious, so if you bring more laughter into your life, you will definitely spread the cheer and most likely help others around you to laugh more, and realize these benefits as well. By elevating the mood of those around you, you can reduce their stress levels, and perhaps improve the quality of social interaction you experience with them, reducing your stress level even more!
Instead of complaining about life's frustrations, try to laugh about them. If something is so frustrating or depressing it's ridiculous, realize that there will come a time when you could look back on it and laugh.
And as my Mum always said, "a cheerful disposition
