If you've forgotten how to laugh, you should relearn this skill, as it's a great way to reduce stress. People who experience lots of stress are often humorless and highly driven "Type A" personalities, and remembering how to laugh is a good way to offset this. Try to spend more time with people whose sense of humor is good and less time with depressed or overly serious people. Watch comedies on television, or rent funny DVDs. You can find everything on the internet, including every type of humor, so look for videos and sites that tickle your funny bone. When you're under a great deal of stress, your sense of humor can all but disappear, and you may have to remind yourself to rekindle it. This is a way to instantly reduce stress and make you feel better.

In conclusion, there are many effective stress management tactics that can help you to release tension and feel more in control. You can use any of the methods we've covered here, or any others that you may know about. Don't take stress for granted, as it has many ill effects on your life, including your health. Stress can be caused by any number of things, and sometimes you can reduce it by addressing the underlying issue, but other times you simply have to adjust your reactions to circumstances.
