Why Humour Saves Your Mental Health

Why does humour play such a powerful role in mental health - especially for men? In this video, we explore why being able to laugh at your thoughts, habits, and patterns creates psychological distance and emotional resilience. When you can laugh at something, you stop identifying with it. You realise it’s not you - it’s a pattern. That distance is what breaks anxiety loops, shame spirals, and over-identification with your thoughts. Humour doesn’t minimise pain; it gives you space from it. Modern psychology often misses this. Without humour, self-reflection can turn into rumination. With humour, awareness becomes freedom. This short video explains why humour isn’t avoidance - it’s perspective - and why learning to laugh might be one of the most underrated tools for mental health in today’s world. #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #humourandhealing #mentalhealthtips #selfawareness #psychologyinsights #emotionalresilience #overthinking #anxietyhelp #mentalclarity #selfimprovementformen #modernmasculinity #mindsetshift #mentalstrength #wellbeing #mentalfitness #emotionalhealth #lifeperspective #innerwork #menswellbeing
