The Healing Power of Laughter
Laughter is good for both body and soul. Obviously there are things in life that cannot be dismissed with laughter. But there are some problems that can be minimized by making them appear ridiculous. Thoughts of failure may escalate your anxiety to an intensity of panic. If you see such anxiety developing, defuse the situation by exaggerating it to the point of absurdity. Think: If I fail the exam, they will announce it on national TV at prime time. They will talk of nothing else but my flunking. When you laugh at such things, you diminish their impact. AA discovered this a long time ago.
