How to make stress your friend (Kelly McGonigal TED talk)

In this powerful TED Talk, health psychologist Kelly McGonigal challenges the belief that stress is always harmful. She shares research showing that how we think about stress can change how it affects us. Instead of fearing stress, we can learn to embrace it. By viewing stress as a helpful response—preparing us for challenges and encouraging social connection—we can improve our health and well-being. McGonigal’s message is clear: when you change your mindset about stress, you can change your body’s response and even thrive under pressure.
