April is National Humor Month, and you’ve all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.”

There are many ways that humor can be therapeutically beneficial, such as the following:

👉 Humor can help you reduce tension and enjoy a more comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.
👉 Humor makes possible a less threatening, more tolerable way of expressing unpleasant feelings, behaviors, and impulses.
👉 Humor helps you to see life in a more constructive way, enabling you to communicate more effectively and positively with others.
👉 Humor can assist you in reducing conflicts or other emotional disturbances.

Can you think of more? Probably. But regardless, humor can help.

Are you in pain? Has it lasted longer than it should (or than you'd like)? If so, you're not alone. It is estimated that more than one-fifth of the population of the United States experiences some type of chronic pain.

Most people find chronic pain the most difficult, wearing, demoralizing, upsetting, interfering and challenging problem that they've ever had. So set realistic goals. Every effective program starts with the formulation of clear, realistic, achievable goals. Your goals should be both long-term and immediate. Some you can accomplish right away, thus increasing your confidence and control.

An example? Set up a pain control notebook. Many pain control strategies can work best if you do some writing. You may want to write down the answers to questions, goals, self-remedies, progress, ideas, etc. It's a good idea to keep all of this in one place- your pain control notebook.

One of the things everyone wants in life is to be in control.

When something stressful happens, such as being diagnosed with a medical condition, losing a job, learning that your spouse has been unfaithful, or dealing with the death of a loved one, you feel as though your life is totally out of control. This can cause a great deal of stress, anger, depression, resentment, anxiety, etc., and you may not know how to proceed.

Is there anything you can do about it? The answer is yes! There are always coping strategies you can use to get back on your feet.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month! This month is aimed to reduce the stigma so often associated with alcohol addiction by encouraging communities to reach out to the American public with information about alcohol, alcohol addiction, and recovery. Alcohol addiction is a chronic, progressive disease, often genetically predisposed and fatal if untreated. However, people can and do recover. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 20 million individuals and family members are living lives in recovery from alcohol use!
