By mid-morning, stress can already pile up. Instead of another coffee, try laughter. Sharing a laugh lowers stress, strengthens relationships, and boosts creativity. Swap a meme, tell a funny story, or take three minutes to lighten the mood before lunch. Humor doesn’t just make you feel better—it makes you work better.
