Tricks & Techniques
The Right Humor Attitudes
An “Inner Game”Becoming humor is like playing an “inner game”.
It might disappoint you… But you can’t acquire humor as fast as you
would a piece of toy. There is no magical button to push to make you
humorous. How funny you behave is determined by how funny you
think. Do you think it is possible for a guy who talks to himself in the
most grave and serious tone to be humorous in front of others?
In order to be truly humorous you need to develop a playful mind,
because what goes through in your mind has a direct impact on how
you view this world (also know as “internal representation”) which in
turn affects your words, tones, movement, facial expressions, etc.
You won’t become super funny overnight. Just like everybody else
you have to go through the process of gradually becoming more and
more humorous each day.
One step at a time. Each step needn’t be big, but make sure you
keep on advancing with faith. Just one step, however small, will
do.
And you need to loosen up. If you don’t, even if you succeed in
forcing yourself to be “funny”, chances are you’ll appear unnatural.
One good way to release tension is to learn how to control breathing
patterns. Have you wondered why Yoga and Tai Chi place so much emphasis on breathing and even Special Forces are trained in that?
Because breathing has an enormous impact on your state of mind.
Practice breathing (again, it’s not silly) whenever you can will
effectively improve your ability in taking control of yourself in various
situations. Soon you won’t feel the butterflies in your stomach when
trying desperately to cook up something funny to say.
Even after acquiring all the tricks and techniques I’ll reveal in the rest
of the book, you might still get nervous when trying to attract women
with humor for the first few times. It can happen on a subconscious
level as you’re not accustomed to the identity of a totally funny guy
yet. You must repeatedly encourage yourself and use the power of
autosuggestion.
In addition, you need to tell yourself that you genuinely want to
make women laugh. If you aren’t genuinely interested in making
women laugh or not convinced that you can, you probably won’t.
