How to make stress your friend!

  • By salomons.coach
  • In Blog, Self & Personal Growth, Video

Stress is healthy! Really!

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.

I strongly recommend this TED talk. It is in the top 20 most viewed ever. This video can be a breakthrough for you, as it was for me and several of my coachees in the past. Happy watching and learning!
