Humor for Stress.......

10/21/2020

I found an article in Psychology Today, called How to use Humor to Manage Stress.  We need to find the lighter side of things right now.  People are reporting a 66% increase in mental health problems.  People are also having trouble with sleeping, eating and there is a significant increase in alcohol consumption. 
So here is a brief outline of the 4 R's of using humor created by Andrew Tarvin.
  1. Reject, this means to eliminate stressors.  Right out 10 of the highest stressors.  Get rid of as many as you can.  Put the phone down and ask for help are a few of the ones that come to mind.  Make a "to don't" list.
  2. Reframe, learn to turn your stressors into a game.  How can you make it more fun and create a positive spin.
  3. Relieve, how do you like to destress?  Take a walk, a bath, work on that breathe.  Start a humor journal and collect and save things that make you laugh.
  4. Refresh, find ways of staying at home to reset.  Learn to relax there.  Go on a little vacation with Google maps.  Work for 25 minutes and take a 5 minute humor break. 
LENS neurofeedback can calm down the brain.  It is natural and effective.  And I have a low price.
