5. Have fun and enjoy good humor: There are two types of humor, the kind that divides and belittles and the kind that unites. Always encourage the kind that brings your family and others closer to each other and to God. Always discourage the kind that puts downs or disparages other races, religions, nationalities, groups, or individuals. Good, fun, safe, humor releases stress. Laughter really is a great medicine. It can be both a physical and mental stress reducer. While some of the research on the connection between laughter and stress is inconclusive, there is good research to support the positive general correlation between humor, laughter, fun, and stress.
