Use laughter for stress management

Visualize an irritating situation getting out of control to an absurd degree. Exaggerate what's happening until you can't help but see the humor in taking it so seriously.


Think up ridiculous solutions to your dilemma. Use your imagination to the max. Writing these solutions down will help you distance yourself from the problem and give you something funny to read next time you have a similar issue.

State your frustrations out loud while doing something silly. This helps defuse stress. Try hopping on one foot. Cross your eyes. Wiggle your ears or your eyebrows.

Play like a child to counteract stress. Blow bubbles. Build a sand castle. Fingerpaint. Yo-yo. Make up a silly song about someone who made you mad. Have a food fight or a pillow fight. Slip-n-slide. Wear two different socks and be proud of it.

Make a list of silly and fun ideas for the next time you need them.


Fake it until it's real. Say ha ha ha ha ha, blowing out your breath with every ha. This kind of breathing increases oxygen flow for stress relief. So even if you're not laughing raucously, you're still doing yourself some good.


Get outside help. Play with children or small animals. Watch funny movies. Exchange jokes with a friend.


Try to cheer up somebody else. The rebound effect is amazing!

6 key factors for a successful marriage

Respect. There must be a mutual respect for each other. Many, many marriages fail because the couple no longer respects each other.



Friendship. You must first be friends before you can even think of marriage. Your spouse must be your best friend even if you already have a BFF since kindergarten. If you can't be friends, how can you even think of being lovers?


Fidelity. Some would probably even say this should be the first step, they may be right. Infidelity will crush your marriage into smithereens. Think long and hard before you cheat on your spouse. If you are thinking about cheating, please seek marriage counseling and get to the root of your problem, it may not be your spouse but YOU. Yes, some people are just born cheaters and that's just the way it is and always will be.


Intimacy. You and your spouse need intimacy to feel connected. I strongly suggest that you do not invite others into this area of your life. This includes gossip and swinging.


Honesty. Its very important to be honest with your spouse because you are a team. It is not fair for one of the members of your team to not know everything about the marriage when it comes to finances, where you were last night and a great many other things. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you keep truthful.


Sex. You should be having sex. A sexless marriage causes a lot of resentment. You'll see that if you aren't in the mood and you go for it anyway, you are suddenly in the mood. Do it for your partner with a smile on your face. Don't make your partner feel unloved or unwanted.
