We have all dealt with stress, what if there was a way to be okay with the stress in your life, and to live with it.
A Ted Talk called “How to make stress your friend” by Kelly McGonigal, psychologist, gave beautiful insight into our negative outlook on stress.
She spoke about the way we can work with our stress in-stead of viewing it as detrimental to our health. We should look at stress as our body’s way of pushing us forward, and motivating us to push through and take the challenge. If we are able to recognize this, then we can work with the stress in our lives.
Our body will naturally strengthen in the areas needed, work faster if necessary, and even give us the desire to seek the comfort or support of others, ultimately helping reduce the negative feeling of stress.
So it is important we work with our body’s natural ability to take care of us, and really listen to our bodies needs.
Changing your mindset could really save your life, and put you on a healthy path to a hap-pier and potentially longer life.
