How to make stress your friend
2. How to make stress your friend
《如何和压力做朋友》Kelly McGonigal
English
When stress makes you feel threatened, your heart beats faster, your breath quickens. We have long been told stress is harmful. But new research tells us: it’s not stress itself that hurts you. It is the belief that stress is bad for you.
When people view stress as helpful, their bodies respond differently. The racing heart is preparing you for action. Fast breathing is to get more oxygen to your brain. Your stress response becomes your ally, not your enemy.
Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what creates meaning in your life, and trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.
中文翻译
当压力袭来,你感到紧张,心跳加速、呼吸急促。长久以来我们被告知压力有害健康。但最新研究发现:伤害你的不是压力本身,而是你认定 “压力有害” 这个想法。
如果人们把压力看作助力,身体的反应将会改变。加速的心跳,是为行动做好准备;急促呼吸,是为大脑输送更多氧气。此时你的应激反应,会成为盟友,而非敌人。
追寻生命的意义,远比逃避痛苦更有益于身心。去追寻那些赋予你人生价值的事物,然后相信自己有能力应对随之而来的压力
