Kelly McGonigal talks about studies that show simply thinking of stress as your body preparing for a challenge can completely eliminate stress related ill effects. Oxytocin, a part of the body's stress response actually protects your heart from stress related ill effects. Oxytocin also encourages you to crave companionship, and when you put yourself in social settings, you enhance the positive effects of Oxytocin.

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.
