Stress management Techniques Stress reduction idea 1 – humor Humor works because laughter produces helpful chemicals in the brain Humor also gets your brain thinking and working in a different way – it distracts you from having a stressed mindset. Distraction is a simple effective de-stressor – it takes your thoughts away from the stress, and thereby diffuses the stressful feelings. Therefore most people will feel quite different and notice a change in mindset after laughing and being distracted by something humorous.

TIPS • Practice yoga and meditation is the best way • Keep yourself healthy and have enough sleep • Treat yourself to a massage • Be strong and confident • A little violence on your pillow is not a crime! • Laugh and relax more • Do not expect perfection from yourself • Learn to say “No” and learn to delegate • Do it your way!

  22. Warnings • Avoid bad fight and Escapism • Stress can damage your health (heart) • If stress gets worse and you cannot cope with it, seek professional help • Beware of physical symptoms • Beware of junk food • Do not blame yourself • If you’re really in death-end, just think that you still have one person loves you, YOURSELF
