Laughing Your Way to Stress Management
Prepared by: Steven D. Mueller, Ed.D.
-
Laugh - Laughter is contagious.
-
In adversity, use humor to cope, to survive, and to grow.
-
Do the things you love to do, even if they appear absurd to others.
-
Laughter is usually relaxing, allow it to come, don't suppress it.
-
Be aware of incongruities and absurdities in situations, and laugh at them.
-
Adopt an attitude of playfulness so your mind is open to silly or outrageous
thoughts.
-
Take your responsibilities seriously, but don't take yourself so seriously;
you don't have to be serious to be responsible.
-
Practice laughing at yourself. Make fun of your own foibles.
-
Practice injecting laughter into serious situations.
-
A sense of humor sees the fun in everyday experiences. It is more important
to have fun than to be funny.
-
Recognize what makes you laugh and put more of it in your life.
