Stress is NOT the Enemy

My mom sent me the video below a couple days ago. I thought it was so inspirational. It is fairly long about 14.5 minutes, but please take some time to watch it.

Takeaways for me:
  1. Stress doesn't kill, but our beliefs about stress do, so change your beliefs. Faith is powerful.
  2. Trust your body's response to stress. This leads to courage instead of avoidance.
  3. Seek to connect with people when going through challenges. Our bodies prompt us to do that, so pay attention to those cues. Sharing our burdens with loved ones and helping carry theirs is a lot more fun than trudging through life alone. Caring creates resilience.
  4. When making big decisions in life, pursue meaning first and then have the faith that you can deal with whatever stress follows.



I think the video is wonderfully inspirational. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think!
