These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.Step 1: Acknowledge Your StressLabeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala (杏仁核)— the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮质), which is responsible for executive control and planning.In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.Step 2: Own Your StressThe next step is to welcome, or “own,” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.
