Stress has many permutations for everyone but in essence it is a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. In the main people have a tendency to think that stress is really bad for them and is often the root cause of illness. However if we could change how we think about stress could that reduce the effect on our bodies?
I recommend this talk on TED by Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist at Harvard University, where she states that studies demonstrate that when you change your mind about stress then you can change your body’s response to it.
