Have you been feeling ‘significantly more stressed’ in lockdown? Fear not: a new scientific argument is gaining traction, claiming we may be able to harness our stress for the good ft.com/content/1d615d…

Methods such as ‘reappraising’ can make us feel more in control over our reactions under pressure – looking back to realise we’ve coped with similar, or worse things in the past for example ft.com/content/1d615d…
Harvard Business School’s Alison Wood Brooks emphasises the power of reframing. When about to start a negotiation or speech, repeating ‘I am excited’ leads us away from feeling nervous, towards an ‘opportunity mindset’ that boosts performance ft.com/content/1d615d…
As part of a study, employees in a Fortune 500 company were taught 3 steps for a positive stress mindset:

1. Acknowledge the stress
2. Tie it to their goal
3. Use the stress response energy positively

The employees became less anxious and more focused

Do you feel you have a healthy amount of stress in your life? Take our poll below, then read about how you can harness the right kind of stress in @htsi: ft.com/content/1d615d…
