It has been said\u00a0<em>If you don\u2019t experience stress you\u2019re not alive<\/em>. Stressors are everywhere. They come at you from the environment you live, work and play in, from other people and mostly, from inside your own mind. Stress is defined as our reactions to change. Like everything else, you can learn how to master your stress to live a more peaceful, productive and happy life.\u00a0<strong><em>Mismatched: Your Brain Under Stress\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will tell you how.<\/p>\n<p>The number of people feeling miserable has increased with increasing political and economic uncertainty, and the fear of new viral diseases. Global trends consistently show an increase in the number of people reporting negative emotions. Our minds and bodies are well adapted to short-term intense stress \u2013 the kind of stress that was in our environment for more than 200,000 years, and gave us a fighting chance when we were being chased by a saber toothed tiger. Stress turns on our\u00a0<em>fight or flight<\/em>\u00a0response to keep us safe from imminent threats. However rapid technological growth and other factors of modern life have changed our world beyond recognition without giving us an outlet to vent our stress. You can\u2019t just fight the guy in the next cubicle because he is being a jerk. And so stress builds up to where it becomes chronic, and the primary forerunner of psychological disorders. Chronic stress is worse than ever. And chronic stress can destroy us.<\/p>\n<p>Our brains can evolve, but not as fast as our world is changing. This creates a\u00a0<em>mismatch<\/em>\u00a0with our environment. To combat this we need to know how our brains can get hijacked, what tools we can use to become better aligned with the way stress affects our body and mind, and an understanding of how to recognize and move beyond kneejerk reactions to achieve our full potential.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"player_1\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 600px; min-height: 340px;\" title=\"YouTube video player 1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rLOmUMPmQw8?autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;wmode=opaque\" name=\"fitvid0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start lazyload\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-text\">\n<h2 data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">Episodes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text\">\n<p class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"27px\"><strong>EP 1: Stress and Health\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nStress has always been a part of life.
