What’s most amazing is that the research sited in this talk proves that we can use our minds to change our physiology. If we think that the stressful reaction we are having (sweaty forehead, pumping heart) is good for us, then it really becomes beneficial for the body. This thinking process changes the hormones that are being released and as a result the body gets stronger.
