Here’s another study that demonstrates how changing the way you think about stress might change and improve your ability to cope with stress and respond well to it.
This brilliant TED talk by health psychologist Kelly McGonigal
focuses on the same thing - how seeing stress as a harmful thing might make you
more likely to encounter problems as a result of stress - whether you
experience a lot of stress or not!
When it comes to the advice I give about never
trying to ‘do life’ alone, the best thing
advice on how to address this comes from Matt Summerfield and Urban Saints: Live Life 123.
This website (and the book that goes with it) advises us all to think
very carefully about who supports us (and who we support) in our journey of
life and faith - and to aim to have the following 6 people involved in our
lives: 1 person who is ahead of us and who can mentor us and from home
we can learn; 2 people who are at the same kind of level as us - running mates
who can support us just as we support them as we do life together; 3 people we
can mentor - they may not be younger than us in years but in terms of
experience. Live life 123 focuses particularly on issues of faith and
discipleship - but the principle applies to the whole of life as well. Want to
understand it better in just 3 minutes? Watch
