In the high-pressure and fast-paced times of the technology industry, laughter and humor are a requirement to release the tension and stress associated with projects that need to be completed in webtime. When things seem completely out-of-control, your best approach may be to have a good belly laugh to release the stress levels and any negative emotions you may have, then move on to the next set of challenges. And don't forget about the health benefits of laughter. Laughter will (1) reduce the level of stress hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine; (2) increase the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters; (3) increase the number of antibody-producing cells. All this means a stronger immune system, as well as fewer physical effects of stress. When we were toddlers, we laughed up to 400 times a day but by the time we became adults, we only laugh a mere 17 times. .
