Positive humor is essential for stress management at work place. Positive humor is fostered by a positive attitude, positive creativity and constructive actions.
9 Tips for Using Positive Humor in the Workplace
1. By all means tell jokes and humorous stories.
2. Listen to great joke tellers, learn their jokes and pass them on as you see fit.
3. Tell humorous stories from your life, especially your childhood.
4. Be creative in presenting the jokes.
5. Making fun of yourself is an age-old humor strategy that works extremely well!
6. Use ice breaker and energizer games for group settings. Make them invitational (some people just don’t want to participate). One of my favorite ice breakers involves getting people to share humorous stories about themselves with one another.
7. On breaks or during celebrations, play nonsense, cooperative and low competition games for fun. Emphasize that it doesn’t matter who wins the game; it’s for fun! The more mistakes that are made, the more fun it is.
8. Practical jokes can be a lot of fun! There are practical jokes you can buy, e.g., the “whoopee” cushion, the hand buzzer, exploding golf balls, etc
9. Celebrate successes and achievements (small and big) and recognize coworkers with fun gifts and cards, as well as personalized gifts. Recognition is something everyone wants. Whether it’s job success, personal achievement, birthday, holiday, other special occasions, or "just because I’m thinking of you," we all like the special attention given to us.

Importance of Stress Management for Elderly Patients
In elderly people, SBP generally increases, whereas DBP decreases, leading to increased prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension, defined as an SBP of more than 140 mm Hg and DBP of less than 90 mm Hg. Chobanian and colleagues reported in the May 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association that a reduction in SBP of 5 mm Hg is linked to a 7% decrease in mortality.
Stress management resulting in the RR can effectively treat essential hypertension, as described by Schneider and colleagues in the January 2005 issue of the American Journal of Hypertension.
