Every joke makes me laugh, but that's not all. It also makes me think.

That's my favorite kind of humor.

"The Laughing Game"!

Hmm? If you read about stress management games, you'll know what this game's about.

Basically, I like to watch a movie or a TV show that's not intended to be funny.

Then, I start laughing like it's the funniest thing I've ever seen!

Since your body doesn't know the difference between real and fake laughter, I still get the same benefits.

But here's the best part...

Laugh. That's the bottom-line.

Stress relief humor is nothing but humor that relieves stress. So take advantage of the countless chances you have to laugh.

And one last thing...

When you think life is too serious, too boring, or worse, too stressful, forget everything and laugh for a good 5 minutes!

Why 5 minutes? OK fine, 6 minutes! No. Just laugh as long as you like!
