If You’re Feeling Uncertain & Stressed, You Need to Hear This | #1 Stress Doctor

I totally agree, acceptance is a great way of coping. I was diagnosed with a terminal ailment 20 years ago,initially I was devastated, felt like ending it quickly myself. My life changed when I decided to accept and just make caring for my health the number one priority, the trajectory of my life changed when I did that. Am still here managing my health and making the best of my time here, which I know is another 40years ACCEPTANCE IS POWER. Thank you Mel

*Key points to remember after watching the video. (Thank Me Later):* 1. Stress is not just a feeling; it causes harm inside your body, especially your heart. Too much stress makes you sick. 2. Being resilient means you don't just "bounce back" to how you were. It means you accept changes and find new ways to feel happy and important, even after hard times. 3. You are much stronger than you think. Resilience is like a muscle you can train and make stronger, not something you're born with or without. 4. The first big step to being resilient is to accept what has happened. You can't change the past, but you can choose how you move forward. 5. If your life plans change because of a tough event, don't stick to the old plan. Pick up your "goalpost" and aim for new dreams that still bring you joy. 6. Remember you are more than one problem. Think about all the different good parts of you, like your hobbies and family, instead of just focusing on the hard stuff. 7. You can calm your body by exercising, spending time outside, doing breathing exercises, or talking to a trusted friend or adult. These help turn off your body's stress alarm. 8. Be kind to yourself with your thoughts, just like you would to a good friend. Believing in yourself helps you get through difficult situations. 9. Connect with other people. Even one good friend or joining a group for something fun can help you feel stronger and less alone. 10. Look for hope in small, everyday moments, like a sunny day. Be thankful for little good things; it helps your mind feel more positive. 11. Think about what you truly want and write it down. This "manifesting" helps your brain focus on your goals and gives you a sense of control over your future. 12. Find your "purpose," which is what truly drives you. This inner light helps you find meaning and stay strong, especially when life feels really hard.

This is such an incredible episode at the right time in my life ❤

Thank you, Dr. Narula. This couldn't have come at a better time for myself, as I'm sure for so many others. Thanks again, Mel! Your channel is a sunny place!

I have zero hope. If I make it through a day, great, but I know I won't achieve anything beyond surviving. It's so easy to follow these tips if you actually have spare time and money but so many of us don't. We are grinding just to break even and there is no extra capacity.

You are my way to refocus and shift my goalpost . When I am in a stressful situation I sit down with my notebook and take notes on a relevant podcast. I am so much calmer knowing I've done mindful activities to better self. Thank you so much Mel!

Dr. Narula is a gift!!!! Thank you
