People who write down some of their adventures, whether positive or negative experiences showed improved mental health and were better able to cope with travel stress.
Laughter is one of the healthiest antidotes to stress.
When we laugh or smile, blood flow to the brain is increased that gives us a sense of well-being and levels of stress hormones drop. Establishing rituals can help prevent and reduce stress by saving time. It can be a comfort factor in times of stress, when predictability and certainty reassures us that no matter how bad conditions get, some things remain constant.
