Stress is a serious subject, not to be taken lightly, but it is an undeniable fact that a sense of humor and an ability to see the funny side of things can help reduce potential stress in a given situation considerably.
Just as a warm smile and offering simple courtesies to others can help immeasurably in relieving everyday frustrations, so laughter is in itself a powerful release of tension.
Research based on group therapy in Sweden, in which participating members meet regularly to exchange funny experiences and share amusing material, has shown that the very act of laughing can make the muscles relax and the stress diminish. So don't forget the value of quite literally laughing the stress away!
