Whether your worrying about the uncertain fall harvest, the rain damage to property, or the effect the dismal weather has had on your spirit, a sense of humor and family togetherness is helpful in times of stress. It also provides a few tips for introducing laughter into a stressful life. Why laughter works Laughter, like exercise, produces the hormone endorphin in our body, which promotes an overflow of delightful energy. Simply stated, laughter makes us feel good.
Life poses many serious problems.
But that doesn't mean you must take life seriously all the time. Learning to play together and laugh together is also serious stuff. As an individual, laughter lifts your spirits and makes you feel good all over. It also allows you to see the humor in difficult situations, keep from taking yourself too seriously, and lead a healthy, balanced life. On the job or in a community group, healthy humor reduces anxiety, acts as an ice breaker, generates energy and stimulates creativity.
