Describe the three questions we can ask ourselves when we find ourselves becoming tense, in order to diffuse the need to turn on the stress response
1 . Is this stressor real? Am I really in danger, or am I just imagining or creating the danger or pain? If we look at the situation with a rational eye, we find that rarely is the danger or pain real.
2 . Can I handle this situation? One sure source to determine if we can handle something, and therefore diffuse the need to turn on the stress response, is our past experience.
3 . Can I think about this differently? As events happen, we have a choice about how we view them or what they mean to us. Depending on how we interpret the situations will lead to feelings of calmness or stress.
