<p>Honestly I don&#8217;t know how people with no sense of humor survive. Life can be mighty hard at times. Cultivating a sense of humor in response can really lighten the load.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll admit when times are tough, the humor can turn rather black but that&#8217;s the point after all. Find the humor and you alleviate the stress.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s easier said than done. When you&#8217;re feeling the most stress, it may feel impossible, but over time it can be cultivated. </p>
<p>Start here and see how it goes&#8230;</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re feeling stressed, take a breathe, then just step back for a moment and imagine your watching the situation as an outsider. With that perspective I&#8217;d bet there&#8217;s quite a lot you can see about the situation that&#8217;s humorous. </p>
