New Stress Reduction Method
I currently have my own business Learn 2 Laugh Inc. www.learn2laugh.com I am a corporate trainer and I speak at conferences, businesses and schools teaching employees the value of using laughter as a way to reduce stress. My presentation was so successful the former CEC President personally sent me an email because he heard about my speaking engagement at an ACICS conference. I want to share with you all a new concept called laughter yoga. If you are ever stressed try laughing or watching you favorites comedy shows. There is scientifiec research that proves laughter is a way to reduce stress. I have tried this with my students and with faculty and the results are positive. I am focusing my dissertation on this also. Please research this and comment if you think laughter can reduce stess. Use the key word laughter yoga. I would love to hear your comments if you think this works. Here is a CNN link to start. http://youtu.be/ZKNB0OTrXKw
Carla, So true! I love this recommendation and it has worked for me many times in the past. When others see you smiling, this can have positive outcomes too!

It's scientifically proven that smiling, even when you force yourself to do a fake smile, releases serotonin into the brain, which actually makes you physically happier. Your laughter exercise should do the same! Good luck on the dissertation!!
I think that you have great insight here. I am a personal trainer and an Fitness Instructor for students who want to become personal trainers. I feel that laughter can be a huge stress reducer as well as a uplifter
