MAKING LAUGH A WEAPON AGAINST STRESS
One idea is to make an appointment with a laughter therapist. Laughter therapy is an alternative treatment to manage your stress levels. You are taught the many benefits of laughter. An example is to learn to laugh when things aren't funny..
There are a lot of ways to make you laugh besides going to a laugh therapy or group. Watching your pet play can be hilarious. The animal channel sometimes has animals doing all kinds of playful antics. Movies that are comedies are great way to make you laugh. Being with people who are extremely humorous can also be a good buffer. Learn to believe that the ones who hurt you or fool you are the real fools, because they are quite unsuccessful in their attempt.
Getting aggrevated isn't going to fix the situation - in fact it will lead to more stress and tension. Laughing at the situation won't fix it either, but you will release tension and feel better. Being able to laugh at the little things will help you learn to laugh at more stressful events too.
Calm over chaos is the phrase of the day. Begin by trying to find humour in the worst of situations. If you must, blow the situation way out of proportion, just to make yourself laugh. Make the serious look ridiculous. When you reach the point of absurdity, you can then begin to melt and calm.
It's certainly very difficult to force a laugh while in a stressful situation. However, that's precisely the time when you need to laugh the most. Remember, the trick is to take control over your environment or situation. That way you are more apt to feel challenged and less threatened.The laughter will help you feel better, manage stress, and make healthy changes in your body & mind.
