How to Tame Stress
The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos
Reframing Stress Mindset for Better Performance
The common societal mindset views stress as always debilitating, something that needs to be suppressed. However, the stress response is actually meant to help us overcome challenges and stay alive. Shifting to a mindset where stress can be enhancing leads to better performance at work, better physical health, and more optimism.

The key takeaway is that it's not the stress itself that harms us, but how we perceive it. By reframing one's stress mindset, individuals can improve their performance in stressful situations.
