New View on Stress

Many people often think stress is bad for health. It raises the risk of everything from the mild fever to serious diseases. Usually, we turn stress into the enemy. However, a study has given us a whole new look at it.

In the study, if people with lots of stress don’t believe stress can be harmful to them, they will have the lowest risk of dying, including people with a little stress.

Science shows when you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s response (反应) to stress. How you think and act can change your experience of stress. When you consider your stress response helpful, you can create courage. When you are stressed and choose to communicate with others, you can create resilience (韧性).

You can get away from the bad influences of stress on your health from time to time. The most amazing thing is that stress makes you social. Your stress response wants to make sure you notice others in trouble. You need to support and care about each other.

Also, stress is not useless. It helps reach your hearts and makes hearts beat fast. It can bring you strength and energy. If you think of stress in a new way, you will trust yourself to deal with challenges. Of course, you don’t have to face them on your own.

How do you make a choice between a stressful life and without stress? Stress lies in many meaningful things, so it’s really important to go after something meaningful in your life. Then trust yourself to deal with the stress that follows and make friends with it.
