Humor and Happiness with Margie

      KEY POINTS

  • Humor and comedy are the most proactive stress relievers.
  • Notice what makes you laugh, enjoy the laughter and savor it.
  • Create comedy out of your stressors.

    • Humor and laughter can help people deal with stress. Humor is a coping skill that helps us not take things in life too seriously. Many studies have been done on humor and its effect on stress from the perspective of cognitive psychology. Humor can be used in many different ways. One way is to use it as part of a coaching session with your clients.

Margie is an associate director to Lafayette College, Career Coach, humorist, and stand-up comedian. Margie shares how humor and comedy help us deal with stress during this episode.
