Great post! I have always viewed stress negatively too, but after McGonigal’s speech my negative thoughts sure changed. When seeing the title of the McGonigal’s video, “How to make stress you friend,” I thought to myself how is that possible? She suggests, positive stress response prepares us for challenges, and the way we deal with stress will determine its effect towards our health. As you have mentioned, taking her suggestions and reconsider how you are dealing with stress is an absolute wise choice. I loved your comment that our attitude greatly impacts our destiny and I couldn’t agree more with this statement. Your willingness to want to help others truly shines.
Thanks for sharing,
Amanda
