😅 The Upside of Stress?
Kelly McGonigal has a theory that stress can, and often does, make people more caring. And her book: The Upside of Stress discusses how care for others changes our biochemistry, activating systems of the brain that produce feelings of hope and courage. She says...
“I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind: to help you discover your own strength and compassion.”
Seeing the upside of stress is not whether stress is good or bad, it’s about how choosing to allow stress to motivate rather than stagnate us can help us meet life’s challenges.
Follow for more ways to transform your own stress into a catalyst for courage and connection.
