I enjoyed the Ted talk but it was a bit stressful hearing that it can increase chances of death but I do use stress in positive ways so that was good to hear more on that.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this TED talk because I have had to cope with stress a lot throughout my life and I have learned that the only way to really control it is to have a more positive mindset about everything. As this video explains, you can help your stress by simply having a more positive outlook about stress and its affects on you.

# data[].attributes.body
this ted talk was very informative as I never saw stress as such a bad thing. I liked how the speaker gave advice on how to deal with stress and I liked that she helped us understand that we need to experience stress in order to challenge your mindset on it

# data[].attributes.body
This ted talk helped me think about how important stress really is in our lives. Hearing advice was very helpful and hearing different strategies to deal with the stress.

This TED talk intrigued me. It had many things that surprised me like how stress is super bad for your health, but then stress can also be motivating if you change your mindset. Overall, this video talked all about stress and has made me think differently on how I see stress from now on.

# data[].attributes.body
This was honestly very helpful to me because I learned a lot about mindset and how altering that mind in a different way than usual you may find better success in life. As well as a possible longer life due to conquering your stress and using it for good rather than looking at it as an enemy.

# data[].attributes.body
This TED talk was very surprising. I always thought that stress was really bad for you but its actually motivating you to do better. I learned that changing your mindset on how you view stress can actually be more beneficial than just trying to make it go away.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very surprised to find out that thinking that stress is bad for you is worse for your health than stress itself. I think it was a very interesting ted talk how thinking about stress in different ways helps you be less stressed out. I also thought it was interesting that stress has built in functions to counter stress. This made me see the importance of looking at stress in a constructive way.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed watching this TED talk because stress is something very common for college students to experience, so hearing the advice the speaker has to give us about how to view stress is a more positive way is helpful. I liked how the speaker helps the audience understand that we need to experience stress. She also explains very well how we can see the health effects of stress in a good way rather than a harmful way.

# data[].attributes.body
The TED talk was very informative. Changing your perspective around stress is what the eye opening part was. I now understand how commonly stress is confused with the belief that you have stress. Its normally to have a little amount of stress. The reaction that people get from stress is normally as it is preparing you for the situation your int.

This video was really great. It was important to watch because it teaches you that stress is actually important to take note of. It will actually benefit you more to pay attention to how much stress you are experiencing so you can fix the problems that may be going on within your life

# data[].attributes.body
This subject was interesting to me because I never really saw stress as a bad thing. I think stress is that responsibility inside my head telling me to get my responsibilities in order. I really thing stress helps challenge and motivate me to finish things. I understand that accumulating too much can be harmful, so I stay vigilant and remind myself to see my friends, do something fun once in a while.

# data[].attributes.body
This TED talk was very interesting to be because I have always been taught that I should always try not to stress because it will do more harm to me than good. I've been told that some stress is good because it can encourage you to get things done, but too much will start to take a toll on your body. After viewing this video, being stressed does not scare me as much as it did before. I now can see how important it is to not isolate myself during stressful times and that I actually need to surround myself with people. who care about me.

# data[].attributes.body
This is something I believe and agree with. Whenever I am stressed out, it is because I am messing up in some way or doing something wrong. So stress really is my friend because it tells me what I need to be doing better. It is good to know that viewing stress in a positive way can help.

# data[].attributes.body
There's something to be said about challenging yourself instead of seeking comfort above all else, but there's an obvious difference between the stress that one gets from working towards a desired goal, and the stress one gets from work they don't find meaningful or satisfactory.

# data[].attributes.body
Stress is something that consumes so many peoples lives, and i understand that that's not healthy but I do not see how that can shorten a life span by 30%. With that said though I am not a doctor or scientist and I have witnessed first hand with my dad and seeing how much stress is affecting him every day. I do think that it is unnecessary to stress about things you can't control, but I do it myself and it's something I try to work on every day.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly this does not seem possible because when I stress, I basically can't control it. I know it probably does work and next time I get stressed out I will try to view it as a positive thing. If the stress could in fact be viewed as a positive thing, then it could save many lives. However stress is a powerful thing and to many people they panic when they get stressed out. I hope I could in fact change my perspective of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the information I've ever been giving about stress are all about it's negative effects so this video changed my perspective a lot. These are pretty stressful times right now so I believe this knowledge can really help me be healthier. It's kind of crazy that you can create a healthier life style just by choosing to change your mind about one thing.

# data[].attributes.body
After viewing this video it has made it clear that I looked at stressed in a negative way for a very long time, but I also know that I have been changing this because now when under stress I use it as better way to concentrate without having distractions because my brain is able to focus on one thing and don't think that stress is bad either. It is insane to think that thinking that stress is negative results in an increase of dying earlier so it is important to spread this as an awareness

# data[].attributes.body
This video is so important and brings up that perspective is such a key thing in life. The way we look at stress can be such a huge impact in our daily lives. It comes down to our mind and how we view the stress. It is something our body does to push us and get something down. Viewing stress as a friend rather then an enemy is going to help me so much in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I always have heard awful things about stress and the mental and physical toll it can have on you. While that's still true to an extent, it was interesting to learn that looking at stress differently can alter your body's response to it. That doesn't really make it easier to deal with said stress all the time (like the stress over upcoming finals lol), but it can help put things into perspective. And being able to manage stress will hopefully improve quality (and length) of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the video because I can relate to it a lot. As college students, we all have stress that we're dealing with, and this TED talk gives a great perspective on stress and a whole new way of looking at it. Stress is normal for everyone and just taking it in a new way could be very beneficial.  It is good to know that having this other perspective of stress can really benefit you, I will hopefully start to realize this and implement it into my lifestyle.

# data[].attributes.body
I am impressed with how perspective on stress can affect how we deal with it mentally, and how that can produce a difference our physical response to stressful situations. And although I already had the same conception about how strong relationships to one's community and family helps with stress management, I think it is powerful that she spent the last third of her presentation focusing on that precisely.

# data[].attributes.body
This video totally changed how I view stress in my life. It was interested to learn that it's not stress that unhealthy for you it's the belief that stress is unhealthy that is bad for you. However this does make a lot of sense. This is similar to placebos. If this were not true then I believe that placebo medicine wouldn't work because it doesn't do anything beneficial other than make you think it's benefiting you. From now on I'm going to start viewing stress differently and try and rise to the challenge that I am stressed over.

# data[].attributes.body
This video legit scared me. I have a bad issue of stressing over the little things in life and freaking out of the big things. Something so simple as being last alive in a videogame or having to ask a worker at a store for help it stresses me out. SOOO after learning that stressing out will higher my chances of dying its safe to say yea i got stressed from that. however with the new free time i have with classes ending i have more time to do things i love that release stress, like walking my dog and bike riding.

# data[].attributes.body
I have lived with anxiety and stress for years. I have been told that stress isn't healthy for your body but I was also shocked that stress can lead to an increase in dying. While watching the video, it made me think about all the things I do stress about but I realize now that thinking about stress in a more positive way could actually help me. I'm working on reducing the stress or well at least managing it but also along with that be more confident with myself and believing in myself that I can get anything done.

After watching Kelly McGonigal's Ted Talk, I realized stress may seem like a terrible thing, but you can make it great. It should be a friend and not an enemy. I get stressed extremely easily, especially when dealing with the unknown, but now I am potentially losing years of my life because of it. In the near future, I need to relax more and transform the bad stress into good stress. With finals it is difficult to be not stressed out but I know eventually I will learn to deal with the pressure and the worry to instead be confident.

# data[].attributes.body
So while watching this video I never really thought about stress in that way. I was really interested how it can actually help us when we get caught in a stressful situation. I like to think about it in a way that it helps us or gives us confidence to not be so stressed next time. I ready find this video very helpful to someone that doesn't do good in stressful situations.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video I realized that most of the stress in my life come from things I am in complete control of. I can change the way I handle certain things and start working on bad habits that cause all my stress. For the stress I can't control, I just have to remind myself that it is out of my control and some things happen naturally.

# data[].attributes.body
While watching this TED talk I learned more about stress than what I previously believed. I never knew stress could have a positive aspect to it and I luckily am not a very stressful person. I have good techniques such as breathing correctly, laying down, and drinking water that do help me in stressful situations but I always try to relieve stress as I know it carries many negative impacts along with it. It was interesting to hear that stress can lead to an early death so I will be sure to try and remain stress-free.

# data[].attributes.body
The video was really just a video to me. Luckily, I don't get stressed by things easily. I've always believe that if I have the ability to change it then I should change it, otherwise it's not worth stressing over. Not everyone has the same mentality, but if you're able to think this way and make it a habit, it can help reduce stress imo.

# data[].attributes.body
While watching the video I had many thoughts connecting to each statement that Kelly McGonigal said. I am a person to get stressed over the smallest things, which has been a work in progress to control over the years. I never once thought that anxiety and stress can be seen as someone thing other than my enemy. A new perspective is what I need when dealing with stress. Of course changing perspectives of something you seen as an enemy for so long will take time. After watching this video I have made a decision to take charge over the anxiety and stress I feel and make it into something that I view as my strengths and not my weaknesses.

# data[].attributes.body
I deal with anxiety and stress so it was a suprise to me that just your mindset about stress can increase the chance of dying earlier. I feel as if I should take the time and reflect if something is worth stressing about. I will start to create better habits and a more positive mindset in order to reduce my stress and anxiety levels!

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video I want to think of stress in a new way. I have definitely thought about how stress can can actually be enjoyable. I will definitely take the video into consideration and view my stress as my body overcoming the challenge at hand.

# data[].attributes.body
I also deal with stress, hearing about changing your perspective of stress to produce a positive stress response made me reflect upon my stressors. I was also shocked to hear that the harmful effects of stress on your health can increase your chances of death. After Listening to Kelly McGonigal I will start working on how I handle stress and learned the importance of of managing stress in a healthier way.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the video because it gave me a different perspective on stress. I think its interesting how a change in mindset about stress can be so beneficial to your health. I have always been told that stress is bad so I guess that's what I always believed in. After hearing Kelly McGonigal talk I will definitely try and deal with my stress in a more positive way by doing things like reaching out for help or talking about whatever is on my mind when I'm stressed .

# data[].attributes.body
I have anxiety so hearing that stress increases chances of dying was a bit shocking haha. Luckily, I am able to take it as more of a motivation to try to manage my stress in a more healthy way and treat my stress as something that I don't do about just anything. Making sure that if I'm going to stress out about anything that it's important and dealing with it in a healthy way.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching this video, I found myself thinking about things that bring stress in my life. And I realized, that it is most things. I have quite a few panic attacks from stress and it does not help when the psychologist said it can increase your chance of dying. Luckily I know of activities that I can do to help manage my stress before it gets out of control.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm going to be honest, the video scared me a bit. I am known to constantly be stressed, which stresses me out more and I definitely view it as a negative thing. So hearing that that increases my chances of dying...STRESSES ME OUT! I'm definitely going to try to chill out a bit and learn some more coping skills and ways that I can view stress as a less negative thing because I value my life and I don't want to die over something as simple as this. lol

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the ted talk with health psychologist, Kelly McGonigal, I learned that people who had a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43% increased risk of dying, but that was only for the people who believed that stress is harmful for your health. People who had a lot of stress, but didn't view stress as harmful were not more likely to die, they had the lowest stress percentage. Over eight years they were tracking deaths and 182,000 Americans died permanently not from stress but from the belief that stress is bad for you. Isn't that insane? That would make believing  stress is bad for you the 15th largest cause of death in the US last year. So what Mrs. McGonigal realized is that changing how you think about stress will make you healthier and science has proved this.
