Laugh It Up

I probably don't need to tell you that laughter may release stress -- but I may need to remind you to do it more often! Don't wait for humor to come to you. Sit down (right now!) and think about what makes you laugh. It's an individual thing, you know. Maybe you feel like you're wasting time by watching The Simpsons every week, but it's therapy! If you can't tear yourself away from the computer, go exploring on the Web. I guarantee you'll find something to tickle your funny bone. Allow About Humor Guide, Mike Durrett, to steer you in the right direction.

For more on humor and stress, please read Laugh Yourself Calm.
