How to Turn Stress and Panic Into Productivity – Observer

When our brains feel stressed, they release a chemical called noradrenaline. But when Alison Wood Brooks, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School, began looking at how we react to the idea of stress, she found that people who reframed their anxiety as excitement performed better than those who tried to bury it with calmness. So just like the fixed mindset, the more you react to stress with anxiety, self-doubt, and fear, the more likely you’ll feel the same way in a similar situation.

Key Takeaways:

  • It starts off slow. Heart rate building. Dry mouth. A drip of sweat slowly rolling down from your temple to your cheek. And then wham. A punch to the gut.
  • It’s inevitable in life. And yet so many of us see it as something we can’t control. Or worse, something we should bury and ignore.
  • Keep Calm and Carry On might work for t-shirts and tote bags, but as advice for real life? It’s about as useful as sticking your head in the sand.
