MAKE STRESS YOUR FRIEND

MAKE STRESS YOUR FRIEND

The Ted Talk by Kelly McGonigal’s video was interesting. I learned the importance of not creating so much stress to our bodies, because we can get a heart attack. She mentions situations that are stressful for us, but we should take them and then turned them around for good. It is good for us to be positive about situations in life and take advantage of them. If we want to live a healthy life we need to learn how to make stress our friend by learning to take control of stressful situations. We need to learn to do relaxation techniques, and also when we share our problems with other people the stress is not that bad.

It is very important to learn how to deal with stress because if we don’t then we can end up being death. If we educate our bodies that stress is not what kills us and that it is the effects of stress what costs our lives. If we perceive things differently it cannot be that bad when we need to deal with a stressful situation. It is a matter of perception. In the video it mentions how anxiety is a natural response to stress, but if we learn to control it perhaps by taking deep breaths the impact of stress should not be that great. Also if we provide hugs to loved ones we produce oxytocin hormone and in exchange the heart valves can relax not causing a heart attack. I believe we need to be more compassionate to people and love other the way we would like to be loved.
