stress.
it
makes
your
heart
pound,
your
breathing
quicken
and
your
forehead
sweat.
but
while
stress
has
been
made
into
a
public
health
enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you
believe that to be the case. psychologist kelly mcgonigal urges us to see
stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress
reduction: reaching out to others.



kelly mcgonigal translates academic research into practical strategies
for health, happiness and personal success.



why you should listen to her
：




stanford
university
psychologist
kelly
mcgonigal
is
a
leader
in
the
growing
field
of
“science
-
help.”
through
books,
articles,
courses
and
workshops,
mcgonigal
works
to
help
us
understand
and
implement
the
latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine.



straddling
the
worlds
of
research
and
practice,
mcgonigal
holds
positions in both the stanford graduate school of business and the school
of
medicine.
her
most
recent
book,
the
willpower
instinct,
explores
the
latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as
what
it
takes
to
transform
habits,
persevere
at
challenges
and
make
a
successful change.



she is now researching a new book about the upside of stress, which
will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at
stress. in her words: the old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of
our
animal
instincts
is
being
replaced
by
the
understanding
that
stress
actually makes us socially smart -- its what allows us to be fully human.



i
have
a
confession
to
make,
but
first,
i
want
you
to
make
a
little
confession to me. in the past year, i want you to just raise your hand



if youve experienced relatively little stress. anyone?



how about a moderate amount of stress?



who has experienced a lot of stress? yeah. me too.



but
that
is
not
my
confession.
my
confession
is
this:
i
am
a
health
psychologist, and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier.
but i fear that something ive been teaching for the last 10 years is doing
more
harm
than
good,
and
it
has
to
do
with
stress.
for
years
ive
been
telling people, stress makes you sick. it increases the risk of everything
from
the
common
cold
to
cardiovascular
disease.
basically,
ive
turned
stress into the enemy. but i have changed my mind about stress, and today,
i want to change yours.



let me start with the study that made me rethink my whole approach
to
stress.
this
study
tracked
30,000
adults
in
the
united
states
for
eight
years,
and
they
started
by
asking
people,
how
much
stress
have
you
experienced in the last year? they also asked, do you believe that stress is
harmful for your health? and then they used public death records to find
out who died.



(laughter)



okay. some bad news first. people who experienced a lot of stress in
the previous year had a 43 percent increased risk of dying. but that
was
only true for the people who also believed that stress is harmful for your
health. (laughter) people who experienced a lot of stress but did not view
stress as harmful were no more likely to die. in fact, they had the lowest
risk of dying of anyone in the study, including people who had relatively
little stress.



now
the
researchers
estimated
that
over
the
eight
years
they
were
tracking deaths, 182,000 americans died prematurely, not from stress, but
from the belief that stress is bad for you. (laughter) that is over 20,000
deaths a year. now, if that estimate is correct, that would make believing
stress is bad for you the 15th largest cause of death in the united states
last year, killing more people than skin cancer, hiv/aids and homicide.



(laughter)



you can see why this study freaked me out. here ive been spending so
much energy telling people stress is bad for your health.



so this study got me wondering: can changing how you think about
stress
make
you
healthier?
and
here
the
science
says
yes.
when
you
change your mind about stress, you can change your bodys response to
stress.



now to explain how this works, i want you all to pretend that you are
participants
in
a
study
designed
to
stress
you
out.
its
called
the
social
stress test. you come into the laboratory, and youre told you have to give
a five-minute impromptu speech on your personal weaknesses to a panel
of
expert
evaluators
sitting
right
in
front of
you,
and
to
make
sure
you
feel the pressure, there are bright lights and a camera in your face, kind of
like this. and the evaluators have been trained to give you discouraging,
non-verbal feedback like this.



(laughter)



now that youre sufficiently demoralized, time for part two: a math test.
and unbeknownst to you, the experimenter has been trained to harass you
during it. now were going to all do this together. its going to be fun. for
me.



okay.
i
want
you
all
to
count
backwards
from
996
in
increments
of
seven. youre going to do this out loud as fast as you can, starting with 996.
go!
audience:
(counting)
go
faster.
faster
please.
youre
going
too
slow.
stop. stop, stop, stop. that guy made a mistake. we are going to have to
start all over again. (laughter) youre not very good at this, are you? okay,
so you get the idea. now, if you were actually in this study, youd probably
be
a
little
stressed
out.
your
heart
might
be
pounding,
you
might
be
breathing
faster,
maybe
breaking
out
into
a
sweat.
and
normally,
we
interpret these physical changes as anxiety or signs that we arent coping
very well with the pressure.



but
what
if
you
viewed
them
instead
as
signs
that
your
body
was
energized, was preparing you to meet this challenge? now that is exactly
what
participants
were
told
in
a
study
conducted
at
harvard
university.
before they went through the social stress test, they were taught to rethink
their stress response as helpful. that pounding heart is preparing you for
action. if youre breathing faster, its no problem. its getting more oxygen
to your brain. and participants who learned to view the stress response as
helpful
for
their
performance,
well,
they
were
less
stressed
out,
less
anxious, more confident, but the most fascinating finding to me was how
their physical stress response changed. now, in a typical stress response,
your heart rate goes up, and your blood vessels constrict like this. and this
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
chronic
stress
is
sometimes
associated
with
cardiovascular disease. its not really healthy to be in this state all the time.
but in the study, when participants viewed their stress response as helpful,
their blood vessels stayed relaxed like this. their heart was still pounding,
but this is a much healthier cardiovascular profile. it actually looks a lot
like
what
happens
in
moments
of
joy
and
courage.
over
a
lifetime
of
stressful experiences, this one biological change could be the difference
