ReThinking Stress
ReThinking Stress was designed to address the needs and opportunities created by high levels of stress, change, and uncertainty by introducing and establishing the mindset that stress is enhancing.
Rather than focusing on avoiding the possible negative consequences of stress, ReThinking Stress is based on research supporting the fact that people can and do reach higher levels of performance, health, and well-being when they are facing added stress. Learning to acknowledge, welcome, and utilize stress can transform the stress curve. Developed by Dr. Alia Crum, ReThinking Stress was designed to give people the information and skills necessary to shift their mindsets about stress and transform stress into peak performance, health, and wellbeing.
