SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast (#462) and blog, I talk about how to develop a healthy stress mindset. This is part 3 of my series on stress. You can listen to part 1 here and part 2 here. As I mentioned in part 1, chronic, unmanaged stress is directly linked to physical ill-health and mental health challenges. In fact, if we are constantly stressed about stress, it will become an obstacle on our pathway to dealing with life’s challenges.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Dr. Caroline Leif and welcome to my podcast, Cleaning Up the Mental Mass.
0:09.0	Okay, I've been doing a mini-series on stress.
0:12.0	So I've done in part one, I was explaining how the way that you view stress influences the
0:17.5	physiology of your body.
0:19.2	So by viewing it as negative, you have a negative consequence in your body.
0:23.0	By viewing it as positive, which it actually is, that makes a tremendous change in your
