Laughter is very good for you, it's true. And I have found that, even when I have been in the worst mood ever, not wanting to do anything but curl up in a ball and be miserable on my own, comedy has been the best remedy.
You can't help but laugh when you find something hilarious. Even when, in normal situations you'd laugh your head off, but when you're feeling down, can only muster a 'heh' that's all it takes, then you're set off with a smile and it just goes from there.
I helped a lady with her bag the other day, because she had no room for it on the train. I had an empty seat next to me, so I leaned over and asked if she'd like me to put her bag in the footwell for her. I asked with a smile, and her whole face went from stressed, to lit up brightly, and she was very thankful and we moved her bag across.
Simple things make such a big difference. If I see someone struggling, I offer to help, just as I'd hope someone else would do for me. Even if I don't know them! It makes you feel even better if you don't know them.
