    “I’m so STRESSED OUT!” How often have you uttered that phrase in recent days? During COVID times, our level of stress has been higher, no doubt. What you might not know is how we view stress can actually change how stress affects our bodies.

    In this episode of Positivity on Fire, host Jason Ramsden shares his view on stress, how a talk by Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., a health psychologist who is the author of The Upside of Stress, has changed his view on stress management and how stress can be a good thing in our lives.
