E611 Are You Taking A Stress Pill Without Even Realizing It?

Did you know that according to the American Institute of Stress (yes, that's a real thing), over 33% of Americans report feeling extreme stress?    I'd venture to guess that this number is even higher than what was reported.   In today's episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton discuss ways to use stress to our advantage.   In her book The Upside of Stress, Why Stress is Good for You and How to Get Good At It, Kelly McGonigal discusses the different ways we view stress.   It turns out that when we throw ourselves a pity party and view stress as life's way of trying to threaten us, it can literally put us in our grave.   On the other hand, viewing stress as a challenge that will help us to get stronger and allows us to believe that life is challenging us as an opportunity to grow makes handling stress easier in the long run.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?
