Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist to make sure welfare and happiness.
Stress can makes us sick. It increases the risk of all from cold to cardiovascular disease.
She believes that she converted the stress on the enemy, so she changed her opinion.
Now she wants to change our opinion.
A studied realized in the states participated 30000 people. People who thought that stress was harmful die, but people who has a lot of stress but don't think that is harmful they have a minor risk of death. During 8 years previously died 182000 american people. They didn't die for stress, they died because they thought that stress was harmful. This study made McGonigal think if we can change our perspective about stress and make us more healthy? Science believes that it's possible. If we change our opinion about stress it changes the answer of our body.
A studied realized in the University of Harvard taught how to reformulate the answer to stress, like: if your heart beats fast it just that its preparing for the action or if you're a breathing too fast it means that more oxygene is arriving to brain.
McGonigal objective is not to break up with stress, only to prepare you to face stress.
