November Message From School Counselor Ms. B

Submitted by teresa.beebe on
Generally for me, the holidays are a time of joy, but also increased stress in my life.  I hope you enjoy this reminder from Psychologist Kelly McGonigal about how, when viewed positively, stress can be our friend.  She says "caring creates resilience-how you think and how you act can transform your experience of stress.  When you choose to view your stress response as helpful you create the biology of courage. And when you choose to connect with others under stress you can create resilience." Here is a link to the full 15 minute Ted Talk.  It is excellent; enjoy!http://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend#t-790902
