Marta chose to see the situation for what it was and took action towards changing the situation. The person who had created the whole atmosphere of tension was dismissed, and in turn the atmosphere changed completely. The tension then disappeared. That was one way for relieving tension. One of the greatest ways for relieving tension is through humor and laughter.
People laugh to release tension.
Laughter massages all the cells deep within the body and causes one to breathe easier, thus, improving and promoting circulation throughout the whole body. The sad thing is that the world has forgotten how to laugh. Think about it. In summary, group members stayed with the evening's topic of discussion and conversation was well balanced, interesting and flowing. It was a very enjoyable evening of conversation.
