“Physically, anxiety can lead to symptoms like a
racing heart, sweating, shaking, and difficulty
catching your breath. People dealing with anxiety
often feel stressed, anxious, and on edge, which
can make it hard to concentrate or even get a
good night’s sleep,” explains Katherine Nobile, Ph.D., a New York City-based psychologist and
director of the Nobile Center for Psychology.
“These feelings are intense and ever-present,
which can make everyday activities feel
overwhelming, and even make you feel elated.
” In the simple things, it becomes a challenge.”
One way to bring a little joy and lightness in the midst of anxiety is through humor. Research suggests that laughter can really help ease feelings of anxiety and stress. Many writers, comedians, and historical figures have benefited from this, often using their own experiences to share some wisdom that brings us much-needed laughter.
“Humor can be a powerful way to cope with anxiety, providing immediate relief and lasting benefits,” says Dr. Nobile. ''When you laugh, your body releases endorphins, a natural mood booster, which helps reduce stress and improve your mood. Additionally, laughter lowers levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, which can ease some physical symptoms of anxiety.
