How To Cope With Stress Before It Builds Up

Try Laughing It Out

It might sound strange to call laughter a skill, but learning to cope with stress through laughter is one of the most valuable skills individuals can learn throughout their life. They don't have to fake lightheartedness if they're really upset, but it helps to look for the humor in a situation, at least occasionally. Individuals should ask themselves these questions: In five years, will I even remember this happened? Will anyone else remember this happened in five years? Can I fix it? If I can't do anything about it, why am I worrying? Keeping a positive attitude and finding ways to laugh about stress will help individuals find it less overwhelming to face.
