Stress is a psychological reaction that occurs due to the varying demands of life. A small amount of stress can act as a motivating force, pushing you to perform. However, multiple challenges in the workplace and your personal life can extend beyond your coping abilities.
Did you know that the human brain has a specific alarm that’s designed for your protection? When it perceives danger or a threat, it immediately signals the body to release hormones, which results in increased heart rate and blood pressure. In today’s fast-paced world, stress affects almost everyone. This is why it’s important to focus on stress management or reduction strategies to ensure optimal performance.
Humor is known to be one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to reduce stress. It works as a distraction method that interrupts the chain of thought that causes stress. If the humor clicks, this can bring about laughter that helps release any built-up tension in the body.
Humor helps one shift focus from serious stress-causing tasks, reducing anxiety. Adding humor to your daily life is relatively easy. You can use it as a way to cope with stressful events or any challenges in life. Whether you watch comedy shows, movies, or even live events, they are easily available and accessible.
The workplace can be one of the high-stress zones. There’s so much to deal with, such as never-ending meetings, deadlines, presentations, and client calls. Your employees need a way to channel this stress in a healthy manner for their personal and professional benefit.
