		<description><![CDATA[Laughter plays a pivotal role in ensuring humanity’s survival.  Laughter triggers positive feelings in other people, dissipating tension and strengthens bonds. When people are in high stress situations – primitive humans trying to survive in a hostile world or a team of colleagues trying to complete a project on time and budget – this dissolution of tension can ensure that groups stay on task, objectives are met, and goals realized. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What's the difference between anxiety and excitement? When you think about it, the two are closely related, but they differ by a degree of perspective. What is your mindset? Are you envisioning the situation you're thinking about coming out with a positive outcome or with a negative outcome? Reframe with humor!]]></description>
