Surprisingly, my grades were unbelievably high. Everything I did for class would earn me an "A." I even did beyond what was expected of me. If I were to watch one of the network news channels, I would watch one and video tape the other networks, so I could watch all of them. Why do a five page report when bad medicals I could write a ten page one instead? I flew through the Anthropology video tape series. And I would always be at least one chapter ahead in my French class.
Taking the time to laugh at life is another natural stress reliever. Just like when you exercise, when you laugh your brain releases endorphins. These endorphins help medicals fake to promote a sense of well-being. Try to see the humor in life on a daily basis. This can be accomplished by adding funny stickers to your surroundings. Placing funny stickers around your home, car and workplace or anywhere appropriate will help remind you to laugh. Funny stickers can be used on several different locations throughout your home and office. For instance, if you find a funny sticker that really puts a smile on your face, stick it in your desk drawer at work. Then whenever, you are having a bad day at work, you need only to open your desk drawer to bring a smile to your face.
In either case you should get a medical exam done anyway. This is good from not only medicals bad and fake an insurance perspective but from a life one as well. Once you know where you stand in terms of your health you can take actions to improve it. Remember, it is never to late to do things that improve your health.
Express your commitment of support. I always make a point to say to every person to whom I deliver bad news, "I will not abandon you." I am continually amazed at the level of relief this provides. Just knowing there is someone in a position of confidence and authority who genuinely cares about what happens to them, who can explain the things that occur during the course of their illness and simply be available to them, is enormously relieving to most people. I also add, if it applies, "I will not let you suffer." Adequate training in pain relief is woefully sparse in most medical schools and residency programs, but the technology exists to mitigate, if not completely control, the pain of most (though not all) illnesses.
All these things didn't make sense to me some years back when I was going through a very difficult phase in my life. It was only when a friend of mine suggested reading some funny materials, that I realized that funny jokes are really powerful and they can change the mood of a person instantly. Since then I have been reading funny jokes almost every time I feel like laughing and getting relief from everyday stress.
Using an imaginary, or real duster, stretch up to you highest shelf and dust with both arms, laugh and breathe out as you do it. Look at the mess on the duster as you breathe in and then let out a huge gust of laughter as you breathe out.
