 Stress. It's a simple word with a lot of impact. But what people don't know is stress can actually make you healthy — if you change your views on it. Most people believe stress is bad for you, which can lead to an increased risk of premature death, according to a recent study. So how do we change our belief that stress can make us healthy? I recently discovered a TED Talk by Stanford psychologist Kelly McGonigal, and it changed my entire perspective.

Getting mental health right for all Americans is a huge undertaking. For the last 150 years, our "solutions" to mental illness can, at best, be characterized as a series of good intentions that were poorly, if not disastrously, implemented. But while there may be a conversation that needs to happen about how we got here, what's important right now is how we go about shoring up a system that is on the verge of collapse.
