How do you think about stress?! Viewing it as potentially beneficial can leave you better off than people who think stress can only be bad. A good start in reframing stress is, you know, watching this video... And then sharing it with someone you think could benefit from it too. 😎

I am not sure but yes in our daily life we may define many situations as stressful or being stressed in a wrong way, maybe we should redefine the meaning of what is stress or understand it better, since I learned that stress is a natural reaction, and we are biologically prepared to have stress... good video and nice subject as usual! 😋😎🙂🐰

If you are OUT of a stressful situation, you are relaxed. But if you are IN a stressful situation, you are "stressed out." The English language is weird, I can't _stress_ that enough.

Why do they call it a "stress out" when stress in the food stress out hot eat the food

Stress can force us to work harder towards our dreams to get away from the source of stress 🔥

Nice video. I grew up with the idea that stress was bad so I tended to avoid things instead of being positive or excited about them.

Me and my friend was just talking about stress in good and bad situations! Perfect addition to our conversation.

I was getting stressed all day today. With this video I might be able to take it in a positive way. Thank You.

Huh. Interesting, I've always had this "Stress as a challenge" Mindset, but people practically shamed me out of it. I guess it's time to go back into it. Great vid, as always.

My 7th grade health class taught me the difference between eustress and distress. That really helped me through high school.

I think the real distinction here is that for stress to be good for you you have to have ways to be out of it. Meaning if you’re always stressed you can’t use that chronic stress in useful ways. And it’s also useful to remember this ‘framing stress’ in a different way works if you have useful frames in the first place, if you don’t have useful frames in your head already, if you’re depressed, have anxiety problems or any other problems causing you to have executive function problems this tips and tricks may not be things you can do by yourself.

You're right, though I think reclaiming executive function is something which can be learned over time, with support and effort. Once there, the sky is the limit imo

Great video! That actually makes sense if you think about it.

Never thought to think of it as a potential positive (in the short term), thanks!

I'm currently getting therapy for panic attacks, so this video was very informative and helpfull so thanks

Informative video. To reduce overthinking negative thoughts be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce watching negative social media and news channels and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down, be as still as possible and eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Never meditate with expectations. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath day and night before sleep, at work, when travelling, when taking a walk, etc with eyes open or closed. Best wishes--Counsellor.

From a security engineering perspective it's actually good to not stress about picking new passwords. Do have a software generate a truly random one. Use a manager to save it. On any breaches you more likely won't need to change several or worry where else you'd have used it.

Interesting how almost every emotion that humans have can be somewhat beneficial and have actual reasons for existing!

I feel like there needs to be a different word for the kind of beneficial stress you are talking about because it isn't in the same ball park as that feeling of not being able to cope that I associate the word stress with.

Funny you mention that! It's actually termed "Eustress" in the research, though I didn't include it in the video as it's a little jargon-y and publicly it's referred to just as "good stress." But if it helps differentiate, you can start to associate a whole new set of feelings with eustress.

BrainCraft Ah cool. I reckon your viewers in particular would like a bit of jargon btw :)

Work, hard. Everything what your dreap for will be a step closer.

I want to share three tips that help me deal with stress myself. * Stress can cause anxiety. So try this: First, recognize that some stress is inevitable. Fretting over things you cannot prevent increases your stress. Second, understand that quite often things do not turn out the way we may fear they will. * Be modest, set reasonable standards, and know both your limitations and those of others. When you do this, you will reduce stress all around and even encourage greater success. Also, keep a sense of humor. When you laugh​-even when something goes wrong-​you relieve tension and brighten your mood. * play chess and solve chess puzzles. If you want to play with me, write me, I will be very happy!

How did you do the video ? Which application did you use?

That's not where Wisconsin is...

For more in depth about it: The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal talks about this topic a lot more. Probably also cites similar sources, but am not sure.

I'm not sure we can/should really compare rolling coaster to work stress...

Is this why when I get super busy at work I feel alive?

So the difference between success and failure of a task can be linked to feeling pumped versus feeling anxious, respectively, before approaching a task?

@braincraft

4 жыл бұрын

You're on the right track - approaching a task as pumped (rather than anxious) is more likely to boost your performance and will generally be better for *you* - for your well-being, coming across as more confident, and you will probably do a better job. Success and failure are measured in all different ways so I don't want to say "Yes, you will succeed!" But you will have a much better chance at succeeding :)

Just don't let your successes run away from you. I have a friend who's gone into meltdown after having his safe space fall apart. He is everything we would attribute to a successful person. As someone who's had a major life changing meltdown, I've agreed with my friend to let him drop off the radar for a while so he can have some space to reaffirm his identity.

Nothing perks me up more than the adrenaline released from potentially losing my passwords, and access to absolutely everything.

Jest aside, there's different kinds of stress. And you need to have some control, if only about the narrative, to benefit from any when possible.

Did you have di- and eustress in mind or just stress in general?

I'm disapointed by the chart at 1:40. No error bars, and the origin isn't zero, emphasizing the difference when actually it isn't very big. Also, as said in other comments, the University of Wisconsin is misplaced by a little bit. Great content otherwise, thanks
