TEDTalk Tuesday • September 10, 2013
One TEDTalk a week. Every Tuesday. A Talk by an inspiring woman. Brought to
you by • http://www.seven2success.com •
Today featuring Kelly McGonical: ‘How to make stress your friend’
THIS AMAZING TALK CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!
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.
‘Stress gives us access to our hearts. The compassionate heart that finds
joy and meaning in connecting with others, and yes, your pounding physical
heart, working so hard to give you strength and energy.’ ~Kelly McGonigal

Stress is good for us. At least, that’s what the people who want to exploit
you want you to believe. As long as you make them money, they don’t care.
Stress also stifles creative thought, which is exactly what the exploiters
like to see. Don’t think for yourself; do your job, and shut up!
This TED talk is a pernicious piece of garbage, and a disgrace to TED
overall. I wonder how much corporate funding McGonigal receives to spread
this nonsense.
“Go after what is creating meaning in your life, and then trust yourself to
handle what follows.” ~Kelly McGonigal

Who doesn’t have stress in life, I know I do:
Your mental model is killing you…. Change your mind and focus on others
will save your life.
We all have to endure #stress. But used correctly, stress can become your
friend. It may even save your life!
h/t +Jean-mari Bergh
This talk reminds me of something important every time I watch it: When we
reach out and help others, we’re also helping ourselves. An act of caring
makes you a stronger person than you were before.
I used to play guitar on the streets of Tokyo, to earn money. Sometimes I
was surprised to see how people who looked poor and needy were the ones who
were most generous and giving. A lot of the time, people who wore the
cheapest cloths gave me the most money. Maybe they needed to be that way
more than those who wore expensive suits did.
In any case, I gain a little piece of courage whenever I think about these
memories.
*How To Make Stress Your Friend*
When +Kelly McGonigal (psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University)
first told her audience that a belief in the harmful effects of stress —
and not stress itself — was a serious health risk, many people laughed.
But by the end of her talk, most of them were willing to accept that a
change in their perception of stress rather than the elimination of it
could save them from a premature death.
Her presentation, “How To Make Stress Your Friend,” draws on three recent
studies that reveal how stress is a natural reaction to adversity, and if
you stop becoming anxious about your stress, the body can naturally cope in
a healthy way.

Needs a book full of techniques now! “The Biology of Courage” Very cool. :)
Stressed?
Thought someone out there besides me could use this right now.
Now I know why I grew as an anxious child, because people kept judging me
and I didn’t rise against my shyness. My life style was pretty lonely too
and now that I think about it I was always happier and felt better when
hanging around people who accepted me.
Stress makes you confident
Wow. OK, I will teach myself to view stress and stress reactions as
positive, as opening my heart to new experience and rising to challenge.
Aaaaaand GO!
The way she talks is stressing me out.
EVERYONE…WATCH THIS! May be one of the most important things you can
watch!
A short video that looks at stress from a different angle.
My experience as a registered nurse for 13 years (with much work related to
psychological/psychiatric situations) and then as a mechanical engineer for
16 years has provided me with an understanding of both #stress and strain
from both a psychological and materials/structure standpoint. It is more
the strain, the response of a body/mind/material/structure to the “force”
applied, that is the concern. Stress is a fact of nature for both humans
(and all llifeforms) and for both materials, especially when being used by
humans for some purpose such as structures. What will be the strain – the
effect – on the “body” to which the stress is applied? Will it be resilient
enough to withstand that resultant strain without failure
(illness/dysfunction/death in humans)? Can it be reinforced in some manner
to effect improved #resilience ?
I wrote the above prior to watching +Kelly McGonigal’s TEDTalk which was a
pleasure to view. It is good to learn that she now realizes, based on new
information and new knowledge she recently gained, that stress is not in
itself harmful. (Also, statistics can be used to say almost anything.) Yes,
understanding how your body reacts to stress and why it does so can be
enormously beneficial if practices are incorporated for increasing
resilience to stressful situations and/or the resulting strain (temporary
deformation or damage). Being part of a supportive network of people who
care about each other’s wellbeing is definitley a must – even if it’s only
1 other person who really understands and cares. “Chasing meaning is better
for your health than trying to avoid discomfort.” – well put and studies I
also have read find this to be so.
very cool…
Excellent presentantation….after all life is about perspective and you
can change the world around you if you change the perception of your own
life. Congratulations Kelly!!!

Kelly McGonigal: How to make stress your friend
Very interesting, as is most stuff on TED!
Wow this is one of the best presentation i’ve ever seen.
Very interactive, entertaining and educational
#KellyMcGonigal on #TED
Its a basic failure to not understand your terms. There is distress which
can cause a negative and eustress which is positive. If you dont start from
there all of your lines are muddled to begin with.
Thank you Ms. McGonigal this was a very helpful talk.
I love you Kelly !!!! :)
This is a great video on stress. It is a must watch. So good.
