Stress is really tough on learning and memory. If students
are able to reduce stress, they may end up with higher grades and more
scholarship money for college. There are three simple things which students can
do to reduce stress in their lives.
The third activity which helps is laughter. We’ve
all heard proverbs and sayings about the benefits of laughing. They’re all true.
It is the best medicine, and it does soothe the savage beast. Best of all, it
not only reduces stress, it’s fun.
There are several places to find laughter. My favorite
author is Janet Evanovich. I love her books, but I can’t read them in public. I
laugh out loud and people look at me funny. My favorite comedian is Robin Williams
(miss him desperately). An example of his comic genius is when he appeared on Inside
the Actor’s Studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U48KpK1srx4
I also used Whose Line is it Anyway as an anecdote to
work related stress. I recorded all of their episodes and watched them whenever
I experienced a tough day. On the worst days, I watched three in a row, laughed
out loud and relieved my stress.
A student introduced me to Rémi Gaillard’s YouTube
videos. He's a comic genius of a different sort. Watch “The Spider” with a
friend and be prepared to laugh so hard your sides hurt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpwZt7uMIPU.
These are mine. Find yours. Use them to relieve stress,
improve grades and receive more free cash for college.
