I just found this and thought I would pass it along:

Here are some suggestions for enjoying the advantages of humoring yourself and others:
1. Observe humor – Start with you. Look in the mirror and smile for no reason. Continue until you either start to feel higher or someone pounds on the bathroom door. Don’t stop there. There are plenty of times during every day you’re funny. If you do not suppose therefore, you aren’t paying attention. Poke fun at yourself for your mistakes or your bad hair day, but stop calling yourself names for each imperfection. Be kind in your use of humor even when it’s simply you talking to yourself.
2. Seek for humor -Tune into the incongruities of life at work and at home and when you find them, consciously opt for amusement over anger. With apply, the response becomes more natural.
3. Share with others – Share an expertise with others that invites them to laugh with you. The ability of shared laughter is sturdy and bonding. Build sure the humor you share doesn’t return at the expense of somebody else. Ironically, individuals who kid their own mistakes gain the esteem of others while people who try to project an aura of infallibility are magnets for ridicule.
4. Take it home – Do not forget to find laughter to share along with your family. Funny experiences bind relations to every different like few other experiences can. Dare to use humor. Your teens may roll their eyes, however they do that anyway. Deep down they appreciate your attempt at lightness whether or not they pronounce it, “lame.”
5. Take inventory – When a week of your humor regimen asks yourself how your conscious use of humor has altered experiences and relationships.
