One of the Vital Cogwheels

One of the vital CogWheels (https://www.brainbuilderpros.com/blog) of total mind, body and spirit wellness addresses stress management, not stress reduction or stress elimination. We are not suggesting that you can -- or should -- get rid of stress. But we are advocating that you develop specific strategies to manage your stress responses so that you take full advantage of the benefits of “good stress” and minimize the damage to body and brain that can be caused by “bad” stress.

Wait! Did he say “good stress?”

Stress has such a bad reputation and is implicated in so many of the factors related to bad health, cognitive decline and dementia that the very concept of “good stress” sounds oxymoronic, a contradiction in terms. But the stress response, when it is working the way it is supposed to be working, is very good for us. In fact, a well-functioning stress response is probably essential to our survival.”
