Stres. Od njega lupa srce, disanje vam se ubrzava i celo znoji. Iako je stres proglasen javnim zdravstvenim neprijateljem, nova istrazivanja sugeriraju da je stres los za vas samo ako vi u to vjerujete.
Psiholog Kelly McGonigal podstice nas da na stres gledamo pozitivno, i upoznaje nas sa nepoznatim mehanizmom za smanjenje stresa: bliskost sa drugim ljudima.

I have a confession to make,
0
435
4178
Hoću da vam nešto priznam,
00:16
but first, I want you
1
4613
3263
ali najprije
00:19
to make a little confession to me.
2
7876
3593
da vi priznate nešto meni.
00:23
In the past year, I want you to just raise your hand
3
11469
3088
Hoću da podignete ruku svi,
00:26
if you've experienced relatively little stress.
4
14557
3414
koji ste u prošloj godini iskusili relativno malo stresa.
00:29
Anyone?
5
17971
2633
Imali ko?
00:32
How about a moderate amount of stress?
6
20604
2529
A umjerenu dozu stresa?
00:35
Who has experienced a lot of stress?
7
23133
3308
Ko je doživio veliku količinu stresa?
00:38
Yeah. Me too.
8
26441
2408
Da. I ja, takođe.
00:40
But that is not my confession.
9
28849
2264
Ali to nije moja ispovijest.
00:43
My confession is this: I am a health psychologist,
10
31113
3690
Moja je ispovijest ovo: ja sam zdravstveni psiholog
00:46
and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier.
11
34803
4589
i moja je misija da pomognem ljudima da budu sretniji i zdraviji.
00:51
But I fear that something I've been teaching
12
39392
3534
Ali bojim se da to što podučavam
00:54
for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good,
13
42926
4328
poslednjih deset godina čini više slabog nego dobrog
00:59
and it has to do with stress.
14
47254
2424
i u vezi je sa stresom.
01:01
For years I've been telling people, stress makes you sick.
15
49678
3175
Godinama sam govorila ljudima kako vas stres čini bolesnim.
01:04
It increases the risk of everything from the common cold
16
52853
2895
Da povećava rizik pogotovo od svega - od obične prehlade
01:07
to cardiovascular disease.
17
55748
2142
do srčano-žilnih obolenja.
01:09
Basically, I've turned stress into the enemy.
18
57890
4493
U suštini ja sam stres pretvorila u neprijatelja.
01:14
But I have changed my mind about stress,
19
62383
2712
Ali promijenila sam svoje mišljenje o stresu
01:17
and today, I want to change yours.
20
65095
3915
i zato danas želim promijeniti vaše.
01:21
Let me start with the study that made me rethink
21
69010
2380
Dozvolite mi da počnem sa istraživanjem koje me je natjeralo da premislim
01:23
my whole approach to stress.
22
71390
2435
o svom cijelovitom pristupu stresu.
01:25
This study tracked 30,000 adults in the United States
23
73825
3419
Ovo istraživanje pratilo je 30.000 odraslih u SAD-u
01:29
for eight years, and they started by asking people,
24
77244
3946
osam godina i počelo je pitajući ljude,
01:33
"How much stress have you experienced in the last year?"
25
81190
3538
"Koliko ste stresa doživjeli u prošloj godini?"
01:36
They also asked, "Do you believe
26
84728
3284
Također pitali su i, "Vjerujete li
01:40
that stress is harmful for your health?"
27
88012
4153
da je stres štetan za vaše zdravlje?
01:44
And then they used public death records
28
92165
1878
Onda su uzeli javne evidencije smrti
01:46
to find out who died.
29
94043
2081
da saznaju ko je umro.
01:48
(Laughter)
30
96124
977
(smijeh)
01:49
Okay. Some bad news first.
31
97101
4249
Okej. Prvo nekoliko loših vijesti.
01:53
People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year
32
101350
3286
Ljudi koji su doživjeli puno stresa u prošloj godini
01:56
had a 43 percent increased risk of dying.
33
104636
3769
su imali za 43 procenata povećan rizik od umiranja.
02:00
But that was only true for the people
34
108405
3990
Ali to je važilo samo za one ljude
02:04
who also believed that stress is harmful for your health.
35
112395
4536
koji su vjerovali da je stres štetan za zdravlje.
02:08
(Laughter)
36
116931
1606
(smijeh)
02:10
People who experienced a lot of stress
37
118537
2603
Ljudi koji su iskusili puno stresa,
02:13
but did not view stress as harmful
38
121140
1963
ali nisu vjerovali da je stres štetan,
02:15
were no more likely to die.
39
123103
1702
nisu cesce umirali.
02:16
In fact, they had the lowest risk of dying
40
124805
3654
U stvari, oni su imali najniži rizik umiranja
02:20
of anyone in the study, including people
41
128459
2027
od svih učesnika studije, uključujući one
02:22
who had relatively little stress.
42
130486
2410
sa relativno malim stresom iz prošle godine.
02:24
Now the researchers estimated that over the eight years
43
132896
2286
Istraživaču su u periodu od osam godina
02:27
they were tracking deaths,
44
135182
1594
praćenja smrtnih slucajeva procijenili da je
02:28
182,000 Americans died prematurely,
45
136776
3558
182.000 Amerikanaca umrlo prije vremena
02:32
not from stress, but from the belief
46
140334
2545
ali ne od stresa nego od ubjeđenja
02:34
that stress is bad for you. (Laughter)
47
142879
3378
da je stres štetan za zdravlje. (smijeh)
02:38
That is over 20,000 deaths a year.
48
146257
3452
To je oko 20.000 smrtnih slučajeva godišnje.
02:41
Now, if that estimate is correct,
49
149709
3050
Sad ako je procijena tačna,
02:44
that would make believing stress is bad for you
50
152759
2092
onda je uvjerenje o štetnosti stresa
02:46
the 15th largest cause of death
51
154851
2446
15. najveći uzrok smrti
02:49
in the United States last year,
52
157297
1918
u Sjedinjenim Državama u prošloj godini,
02:51
killing more people than skin cancer,
53
159215
1764
koji je ubio više ljudi neko kožni rak,
02:52
HIV/AIDS and homicide.
54
160979
3449
virus side i ubistvo.
02:56
(Laughter)
55
164428
2883
(smijeh)
02:59
You can see why this study freaked me out.
56
167311
2825
Možete da vidite zašto me je ova studija tako prepala.
03:02
Here I've been spending so much energy telling people
57
170136
3691
Ja sam ipak toliko snage ulagala govoreći ljudima
03:05
stress is bad for your health.
58
173827
2970
kako je stres štetan za vaše zdravlje.
03:08
So this study got me wondering:
59
176797
1989
Zbog ove studije ja sam se počela pitati:
03:10
Can changing how you think about stress
60
178786
2501
Da li može promijena u razmišljanju o stresu
03:13
make you healthier? And here the science says yes.
61
181287
3439
napraviti osobu zdraviju? Nauka kaže DA.
03:16
When you change your mind about stress,
62
184726
2082
Kad promijenite svoje mišljenje o stresu
03:18
you can change your body's response to stress.
63
186808
3519
možete promijeniti i odgovor tijela na stres.
03:22
Now to explain how this works,
64
190327
2114
Da bih objasnili kako to ide,
03:24
I want you all to pretend that you are participants
65
192441
2881
hoću da se svi pretvarate da ste učesnici
03:27
in a study designed to stress you out.
66
195322
2607
studije koja je zamišljena da vas dovede u stanje stresa.
03:29
It's called the social stress test.
67
197929
2684
Zove se test za drustveni stres.
03:32
You come into the laboratory,
68
200613
2054
Dođete u laboratorij,
03:34
and you're told you have to give a five-minute
69
202667
2907
i tamo vam je rečeno da za pet minuta
03:37
impromptu speech on your personal weaknesses
70
205574
3727
improvizirate govor u vezi vaših ličnih slabosti
03:41
to a panel of expert evaluators sitting right in front of you,
71
209301
3657
grupi stručnjaka koji sjede ispred vas,
03:44
and to make sure you feel the pressure,
72
212958
1561
a da se osigura vaš osjećaj da ste pod pritiskom,
03:46
there are bright lights and a camera in your face,
73
214519
3292
prema vama okrenuta su jaka svjetla i kamera
03:49
kind of like this.
74
217811
2809
nekako ovako.
03:52
And the evaluators have been trained
75
220620
2760
Ocenjivači su naučeni
03:55
to give you discouraging, non-verbal feedback like this.
76
223380
4866
da vas obeshrabre sa neverbalnim znacima ovako.
04:05
(Laughter)
77
233076
3458
(smijeh)
04:08
Now that you're sufficiently demoralized,
78
236534
2822
Dok ste prilično demoralizovani
04:11
time for part two: a math test.
79
239356
2800
dolazi vrijeme za drugi dio: matematički test.
04:14
And unbeknownst to you,
80
242156
2101
Uz vaše iznenađenje,
04:16
the experimenter has been trained to harass you during it.
81
244257
3896
eksperimentator je naučio da vas za to vrijeme još maltretira.
04:20
Now we're going to all do this together.
82
248153
2673
Sad ćemo da pokušamo to uraditi zajedno.
04:22
It's going to be fun.
83
250826
1394
Biće to zabavno.
04:24
For me.
84
252220
1069
Za mene.
04:25
Okay. I want you all to count backwards
85
253289
5002
Okej. Hoću da svi brojite unazad
04:30
from 996 in increments of seven.
86
258291
2847
od 996 u koracima od sedam.
04:33
You're going to do this out loud
87
261138
1528
To ćete raditi glasno
04:34
as fast as you can, starting with 996.
88
262666
3961
što brže možete, počevši od 996.
04:38
Go!
89
266627
1142
Sad!
04:39
Audience: (Counting)
90
267769
1341
(avditorij broji)
04:41
Go faster. Faster please.
91
269110
2589
Idemo brže. Brže, molim.
04:43
You're going too slow.
92
271699
2269
To je suviše sporo.
04:45
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
93
273968
2146
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
04:48
That guy made a mistake.
94
276114
1589
Taj tip je pogriješio.
04:49
We are going to have to start all over again. (Laughter)
95
277703
2772
Sad ćemo morati početi ponovo. (smijeh)
04:52
You're not very good at this, are you?
96
280475
2278
Niste vi baš prvaci u brojanju, jeli?
04:54
Okay, so you get the idea.
97
282753
1803
Okej, znači dobili ste ideju o tome.
04:56
Now, if you were actually in this study,
98
284556
1743
Kad biste stvarno bili učesnici ove studije,
04:58
you'd probably be a little stressed out.
99
286299
1945
vjerovatno bi se osjećali malo pod stresom.
05:00
Your heart might be pounding,
100
288244
1581
Vaše bi srce udaralo,
05:01
you might be breathing faster, maybe breaking out into a sweat.
101
289825
3404
vaše bi disanje ubrzalo, možda čak i do znojenja.
05:05
And normally, we interpret these physical changes
102
293229
2980
Normalno ove tjelesne znakove tumačimo
05:08
as anxiety
103
296209
1616
kao tjeskobu (anksioznost)
05:09
or signs that we aren't coping very well with the pressure.
104
297825
3016
ili kao znakove da se slabo snalazimo pod pritiskom.
05:12
But what if you viewed them instead
105
300841
2069
Ali šta ako bi ih gledali
05:14
as signs that your body was energized,
106
302910
2452
kao znakove da se vaše tjelo pojačava
05:17
was preparing you to meet this challenge?
107
305362
3442
pošto se sprema na izazov?
05:20
Now that is exactly what participants were told
108
308804
2846
Jer to je ono što je bilo rečeno učesnicima studije
05:23
in a study conducted at Harvard University.
109
311650
2661
koju je izradio Harvardski Univerzitet.
05:26
Before they went through the social stress test,
110
314311
3106
Prije nego što su prošli test za socijalni stres,
05:29
they were taught to rethink their stress response as helpful.
111
317417
2961
rečeno im je bilo da pokušaju na stresne odgovore tijela gledati kao od koristi.
05:32
That pounding heart is preparing you for action.
112
320378
3789
Da udaranje srca znači spremanje na akciju.
05:36
If you're breathing faster, it's no problem.
113
324167
2594
Ako dišete brže, nema problema.
05:38
It's getting more oxygen to your brain.
114
326761
3085
To samo znači više kisika u vaš mozak.
05:41
And participants who learned to view the stress response
115
329846
2697
Učesnici koji su naučili da stresni odgovor smatraju
05:44
as helpful for their performance,
116
332543
2237
kao nešto korisno za izvođenje,
05:46
well, they were less stressed out,
117
334780
1339
eto doživjeli su manje stresa
05:48
less anxious, more confident,
118
336119
2168
manje tjeskobe i više samopouzdanja,
05:50
but the most fascinating finding to me
119
338287
2093
ali najljepša spoznaja za mene
05:52
was how their physical stress response changed.
120
340380
3383
je bila da se je njihov stresni odgovor promijenio.
05:55
Now, in a typical stress response,
121
343763
1892
U tipičnom stresnom odgovoru
05:57
your heart rate goes up,
122
345655
1968
brzina otkucaja srca raste,
05:59
and your blood vessels constrict like this.
123
347623
4321
a vaši se krvni sudovi ovako stišću.
06:03
And this is one of the reasons that chronic stress
124
351960
2990
To je jedan od razloga da je kroničan stres
06:06
is sometimes associated with cardiovascular disease.
125
354950
2859
nekad povezan sa srčano-žilnim obolenjima.
06:09
It's not really healthy to be in this state all the time.
126
357809
3606
Pa i nije baš zdravo biti u ovakvom stanju čitavo vrijeme.
06:13
But in the study, when participants viewed
127
361415
2017
Ali kad su učesnici studije smatrali
06:15
their stress response as helpful,
128
363432
2127
svoj stresni odgovor kao koristan,
06:17
their blood vessels stayed relaxed like this.
129
365559
3506
njihovi krvni sudovi ostali su ovako opušteni.
06:21
Their heart was still pounding,
130
369065
1307
Srce je otkucavalo
06:22
but this is a much healthier cardiovascular profile.
131
370372
3356
ali ovo je ipak mnogo zdravija srčano-žilna slika.
06:25
It actually looks a lot like what happens
132
373728
2655
Ustvari slično se dešava
06:28
in moments of joy and courage.
133
376383
4709
kad smo sretni i hrabri.
06:33
Over a lifetime of stressful experiences,
134
381092
2843
Za vrijeme stresnih doživljaja u životu
06:35
this one biological change
135
383935
3190
ova jedna biološka promijena
06:39
could be the difference
136
387125
1304
može da postane razlika
06:40
between a stress-induced heart attack at age 50
137
388429
3004
između srčanog udara u vašim pedesetima
06:43
and living well into your 90s.
138
391433
2864
i vašeg zdravog života v devedesetim godinama.
06:46
And this is really what the new science of stress reveals,
139
394297
3144
To je upravo ono što nauka o stresu otkriva:
06:49
that how you think about stress matters.
140
397441
3539
veoma je bitno kako mislite o stresu.
06:52
So my goal as a health psychologist has changed.
141
400980
3130
Znači moji cilj kao psihologa mora da se promijeni.
06:56
I no longer want to get rid of your stress.
142
404110
2162
Ja više ne želim da se riješim vašeg stresa.
06:58
I want to make you better at stress.
143
406272
2958
Hoću da vam pomognem da budete bolji u stresu.
07:01
And we just did a little intervention.
144
409230
2705
Upravo smo uradili jednu malu intervenciju.
07:03
If you raised your hand and said
145
411935
1358
Ako ste podigli svoju ruku i rekli
07:05
you'd had a lot of stress in the last year,
146
413293
2259
da ste doživjeli puno stresa prošle godine,
07:07
we could have saved your life,
147
415552
1843
možda smo vam spasili život,
07:09
because hopefully the next time
148
417395
1531
jer nadam se idući put
07:10
your heart is pounding from stress,
149
418926
2020
kad vam počne srce udarati od stresa
07:12
you're going to remember this talk
150
420946
1847
zapamtiti ćete ovaj govor
07:14
and you're going to think to yourself,
151
422793
2162
i pomisliti ćete
07:16
this is my body helping me rise to this challenge.
152
424955
5174
to je moje tijelo koje mi želi pomoći savladati izazov.
07:22
And when you view stress in that way,
153
430129
2424
I kad posmatrate stres na taj način
07:24
your body believes you,
154
432553
1972
vaše vam tjelo vjeruje
07:26
and your stress response becomes healthier.
155
434525
3679
a stresni odgovor postane zdraviji.
07:30
Now I said I have over a decade of demonizing stress
156
438204
4176
Rekla sam da ima više od deset godina kako od stresa pravim bauka
07:34
to redeem myself from,
157
442380
1974
i pošto se želim iskupiti
07:36
so we are going to do one more intervention.
158
444354
2610
napravićemo sad još jednu intervenciju.
07:38
I want to tell you about one of the most
159
446964
1982
Želim vam pričati o jednom
07:40
under-appreciated aspects of the stress response,
160
448946
3041
najmanje cijenjenom vidiku stresnog odgovora,
07:43
and the idea is this:
161
451987
2014
koji ide ovako:
07:46
Stress makes you social.
162
454001
3265
Stres vas čini društvenim.
07:49
To understand this side of stress,
163
457266
1589
Da bi razumijeli ovu stranu stresa,
07:50
we need to talk about a hormone, oxytocin,
164
458855
3062
moramo pričati o hormonu, koji se zove oksitocin.
07:53
and I know oxytocin has already gotten
165
461917
3001
Ja znam da je oksitocin
07:56
as much hype as a hormone can get.
166
464918
1947
među hormonima na veoma visokom mjestu.
07:58
It even has its own cute nickname, the cuddle hormone,
167
466865
3339
On čak i ima nadimak "hormon za mazenje",
08:02
because it's released when you hug someone.
168
470204
2686
pošto on se pušta kad se grlimo.
08:04
But this is a very small part of what oxytocin is involved in.
169
472890
4493
Ali to je samo jedan mali dio onoga za sto je oksitocin zaduzen .
08:09
Oxytocin is a neuro-hormone.
170
477383
2487
Oksitocin je živčani hormon.
08:11
It fine-tunes your brain's social instincts.
171
479870
3574
On uglašava drustvene instinkte vašeg mozga.
08:15
It primes you to do things
172
483444
2531
Zove te da radiš stvari
08:17
that strengthen close relationships.
173
485975
3511
koje učvršćivaju bliske odnose.
08:21
Oxytocin makes you crave physical contact
174
489486
2856
Oksitocin potjera vašu žudnju za dodirom
08:24
with your friends and family.
175
492342
1992
sa prijateljima i familijom.
08:26
It enhances your empathy.
176
494334
1586
Pojačava vašu empatiju.
08:27
It even makes you more willing to help and support
177
495920
2708
Štaviše on vas spremi da pomognete i podržite
08:30
the people you care about.
178
498628
2968
ljude za koje brinete.
08:33
Some people have even suggested
179
501596
1695
Ima onih koji čak predlažu
08:35
we should snort oxytocin
180
503291
3595
da bi trebali taj oksitocin njuhati
08:38
to become more compassionate and caring.
181
506886
4454
da bi postali više empatični in brižni.
08:43
But here's what most people don't understand
182
511340
2416
Ali vidite ima nešto sto ti ljudi ne razumiju
08:45
about oxytocin.
183
513756
2408
u vezi sa oksitocinom.
08:48
It's a stress hormone.
184
516164
2966
To je hormon stresa.
08:51
Your pituitary gland pumps this stuff out
185
519130
3118
Vaša hipofiza pumpa taj hormon
08:54
as part of the stress response.
186
522248
1548
kao dio odgovora tijela na stres.
08:55
It's as much a part of your stress response
187
523796
2251
On je podjednako sastavni dio odgovora na stres
08:58
as the adrenaline that makes your heart pound.
188
526047
4108
kao adrenalin koji cini srce da kuca.
09:02
And when oxytocin is released in the stress response,
189
530155
2814
I kad se oksitocin oslobađa u stanju stresa
09:04
it is motivating you to seek support.
190
532969
3361
on vas motiviše da tražite podržku.
09:08
Your biological stress response
191
536330
2053
Vaš biološki stresni odgovor
09:10
is nudging you to tell someone how you feel
192
538383
3430
vas nagovara da s nekim podjelite vaša osjećanja
09:13
instead of bottling it up.
193
541813
2493
a ne da ih držite u sebi.
09:16
Your stress response wants to make sure you notice
194
544306
3104
Vas odgovor na stres se brine da primjetite
09:19
when someone else in your life is struggling
195
547410
2319
kada se netko iz vaseg zivota nađe u nevolji
09:21
so that you can support each other.
196
549729
2499
kako biste jedno drugom bili podrska.
09:24
When life is difficult, your stress response wants you
197
552228
3791
Kad je u životu težko odgovor na stres od vas hoće
09:28
to be surrounded by people who care about you.
198
556019
5139
da ste okruženi ljudima kojima je stalo do vas.
09:33
Okay, so how is knowing this side of stress
199
561158
2529
Okej, znači kako vas ovo znanje o stresu
09:35
going to make you healthier?
200
563687
1816
može napraviti zdravije?
09:37
Well, oxytocin doesn't only act on your brain.
201
565503
2768
Pa tako što oksitocin ne utiče samo na mozak.
09:40
It also acts on your body,
202
568271
2501
On utiče i na tjelo,
09:42
and one of its main roles in your body
203
570772
2089
jedna od njegovih glavnih uloga u tijelu
09:44
is to protect your cardiovascular system
204
572861
2720
jeste da štiti srčano-žilni sistem
09:47
from the effects of stress.
205
575581
2375
od oboljenja prouzrokovanih stresom.
09:49
It's a natural anti-inflammatory.
206
577956
2568
To je prirodni lijek protiv upale.
09:52
It also helps your blood vessels stay relaxed during stress.
207
580524
3445
On isto pomogne krvnim sudovima da za vrijeme stresa ostanu opušteni.
09:55
But my favorite effect on the body is actually on the heart.
208
583969
3397
Moj omiljeni učinak na tijelo je ipak učinak na srce.
09:59
Your heart has receptors for this hormone,
209
587366
3666
Vaše srce ima receptore za ovaj hormon,
10:03
and oxytocin helps heart cells regenerate
210
591032
3774
oksitocin srćanim ćelijama pomaže da se obnove
10:06
and heal from any stress-induced damage.
211
594806
3773
i ozdrave od svake štete izazvane stresom.
10:10
This stress hormone strengthens your heart,
212
598579
4581
Ovaj stresni hormon vaše srce učvrsti,
10:15
and the cool thing is that all of these physical benefits
213
603160
3697
a što je super stvar sve ove fizičke prednosti oksitocina
10:18
of oxytocin are enhanced by social contact
214
606857
3517
poboljšane su putem drustvenog kontakta
10:22
and social support,
215
610374
1533
i drustvene podrške,
10:23
so when you reach out to others under stress,
216
611907
2919
što znači kad se pod stresom okrenete prema drugima
10:26
either to seek support or to help someone else,
217
614826
3273
bilo da tražite podržku ili nekome hoćete pomoći,
10:30
you release more of this hormone,
218
618099
2008
oslobađate više tog hormona,
10:32
your stress response becomes healthier,
219
620107
2262
a vaš stresni odgovor postane zdraviji,
10:34
and you actually recover faster from stress.
220
622369
3098
vi se zapravo brže i oporavite od stresa.
10:37
I find this amazing,
221
625467
2334
Za mene je nevjerovatno
10:39
that your stress response has a built-in mechanism
222
627801
3928
da stresni odgovor ima u sebi ugrađen mehanizam
10:43
for stress resilience,
223
631729
2717
za otpornost na stres,
10:46
and that mechanism is human connection.
224
634446
4362
a taj mehanizem se zove ljudska povezanost.
10:50
I want to finish by telling you about one more study.
225
638808
3682
Završiću tako da vam ispričam nešto o još jednoj studiji.
10:54
And listen up, because this study could also save a life.
226
642490
3984
Dobro me slušajte jer bi ona mogla da spasi koji život.
10:58
This study tracked about 1,000 adults in the United States,
227
646474
3456
Studija je pratila oko 1,000 ljudi u Sjedinjenim Državama,
11:01
and they ranged in age from 34 to 93,
228
649930
4163
starih od 34 pa do 93 godine,
11:06
and they started the study by asking,
229
654093
2269
i studija je počela sa pitanjem,
11:08
"How much stress have you experienced in the last year?"
230
656362
4224
"Koliko ste stresa doživjeli u prošloj godini?"
11:12
They also asked, "How much time have you spent
231
660586
3576
Isto tako je pitala, "Koliko ste vremene proveli
11:16
helping out friends, neighbors,
232
664162
3217
pomagajući prijeteljima, susjedima,
11:19
people in your community?"
233
667379
2754
ljudima u zajednici?"
11:22
And then they used public records for the next five years
234
670133
2775
Poslije su uzeli javne evidencije za narednih pet godina
11:24
to find out who died.
235
672908
2623
da utvrde ko je umro.
11:27
Okay, so the bad news first:
236
675531
2681
Okej, loše priče idu prvo:
11:30
For every major stressful life experience,
237
678212
2959
Svako veće stresno iskustvo,
11:33
like financial difficulties or family crisis,
238
681171
3049
npr. finansijske poteškoće ili familijarna kriza,
11:36
that increased the risk of dying by 30 percent.
239
684220
3938
povećala je rizik od umiranja za trideset posto.
11:40
But -- and I hope you are expecting a but by now --
240
688158
4287
Ali - nadam se da ste dosad već predvidili taj ali -
11:44
but that wasn't true for everyone.
241
692445
2431
to nije važilo za sve.
11:46
People who spent time caring for others
242
694876
3662
Za one koji su proveli vrijeme brinući o drugima
11:50
showed absolutely no stress-related increase in dying. Zero.
243
698538
6108
pokazalo se da uopšte niso rizikovali smrt. Nula.
11:56
Caring created resilience.
244
704646
3544
Brižnost je stvorila otpornost.
12:00
And so we see once again
245
708190
1526
Znači ponovo vidimo
12:01
that the harmful effects of stress on your health
246
709716
2638
da se štetne učinke stresa na zdravlje
12:04
are not inevitable.
247
712354
1962
može izbjeći.
12:06
How you think and how you act
248
714316
2722
Način kako mislimo i reagujemo
12:09
can transform your experience of stress.
249
717038
3797
može promijeniti naše stresno iskustvo
12:12
When you choose to view your stress response
250
720835
2524
Kad izabereš da na stresni odgovor gledaš
12:15
as helpful,
251
723359
2297
kao od koristi
12:17
you create the biology of courage.
252
725656
5011
onda stvaraš biologiju hrabrosti.
12:22
And when you choose to connect with others under stress,
253
730667
3321
I kad izabereš da se u stresu povežeš sa ljudima,
12:25
you can create resilience.
254
733988
3393
onda možeš stvoriti otpornost.
12:29
Now I wouldn't necessarily ask
255
737381
2675
Ja i ne bi baš tražila
12:32
for more stressful experiences in my life,
256
740056
3104
više stresa u svom životu
12:35
but this science has given me
257
743160
2305
ali mi je ova nauka
12:37
a whole new appreciation for stress.
258
745465
3772
pomogla da sasvim drugačije vrednujem stres.
12:41
Stress gives us access to our hearts.
259
749237
4434
Stres nam daje pristup ka našim srcima.
12:45
The compassionate heart that finds joy and meaning
260
753671
3909
Milostivo srce koje nađe radost i smisao
12:49
in connecting with others,
261
757580
1538
u povezivanju sa drugima,
12:51
and yes, your pounding physical heart,
262
759118
3562
da, to je vaše kucajuće srce,
12:54
working so hard to give you strength and energy,
263
762680
5265
koje radi za vas, vašu snagu i energiju.
12:59
and when you choose to view stress in this way,
264
767945
3343
I kad izaberete da gledate ovako na stres,
13:03
you're not just getting better at stress,
265
771288
2512
nije samo da ste bolj u stresu,
13:05
you're actually making a pretty profound statement.
266
773800
3827
nego pravite veoma važan stav.
13:09
You're saying that you can trust yourself
267
777627
3053
S tim kažete kako imate povjerenja u sebe
13:12
to handle life's challenges,
268
780680
3035
da se nosite sa životnim izazovima,
13:15
and you're remembering that
269
783715
2925
i dobro znate
13:18
you don't have to face them alone.
270
786640
2711
da se ne morate s tim součavati sami.
13:21
Thank you.
271
789351
1382
Hvala vam.
13:22
(Applause)
272
790733

(aplauz)
13:32
Chris Anderson: This is kind of amazing, what you're telling us.
273
800014
2898
Chris Anderson: To je stvarno nevjerovatno šta nam govorite.
13:34
It seems amazing to me that a belief about stress
274
802912
4105
Čini se nevjerovatno da uvjerenje o stresu
13:39
can make so much difference to someone's life expectancy.
275
807017
4483
može toliko toga da uradi za duzinu zivota.
13:43
How would that extend to advice,
276
811500
2226
Kako bi vi savjetovali
13:45
like, if someone is making a lifestyle choice
277
813726
2085
kad bi recimo neko birao životni stil
13:47
between, say, a stressful job and a non-stressful job,
278
815811
3961
između stresnog i ne-stresnog posla,
13:51
does it matter which way they go?
279
819772
2681
da li je bitno na koju će stranu?
13:54
It's equally wise to go for the stressful job
280
822453
3073
Jeli jednako mudro izabrati recimo stresni posao
13:57
so long as you believe that you can handle it, in some sense?
281
825526
2501
dok si ubjeđen, da je sve pod kontrolom?
14:00
Kelly McGonigal: Yeah, and one thing we know for certain
282
828027
1854
Keli MakGonigal: Da, jer ima jedna sigurna stvar
14:01
is that chasing meaning is better for your health
283
829881
2730
zdravije je tražiti smisao u životu
14:04
than trying to avoid discomfort.
284
832611
1604
nego izbjegavati nelagodnost.
14:06
And so I would say that's really the best way to make decisions,
285
834215
2985
Ja mislim da je najbolji način za donošenje odluke
14:09
is go after what it is that creates meaning in your life
286
837200
2747
kad ideš putem koji ti za život donosi smisao,
14:11
and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.
287
839947
3278
posle toga vjeruj u sebe i nosi se stresom koji slijedi.
14:15
CA: Thank you so much, Kelly. It's pretty cool.
KM: Thank you.
KM: Thank you.
288
843225
2542
CA: Hvala vam mnogo, Keli. To je stvarno odlično.
KM: Hvala vama.
KM: Hvala vama.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kelly McGonigal - Health psychologistKelly McGonigal translates academic research into practical strategies for health, happiness and personal success.
Why you should listen
Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal is a leader in the growing field of “science-help.” Through books, articles, courses and workshops, McGonigal works to help us understand and implement the latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine.
Straddling the worlds of research and practice, McGonigal holds positions in both the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the School of Medicine. Her most recent book, The Willpower Instinct, explores the latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges and make a successful change.
She is now researching a new book about the "upside of stress," which will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at stress. In her words: "The old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of our animal instincts is being replaced by the understanding that stress actually makes us socially smart -- it's what allows us to be fully human."
