In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You

These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. 1.. But how can we change our stress mind-set?

Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress

Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning.

In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. 2..

Step 2: Own Your Stress

3. We only stress about things that we care about. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.

Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: ''I'm stressed about… because I deeply care about…''.

Step 3: 4.

Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.

Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.

There's so much happening right now that we can't control. 5.. Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your stress as energy to make the most of this time.

A.Use Your Stress.

B.Control Your Stress.

C.The next step is to welcome, or ''own'', your stress.

D.Instead, it's our mind-set about stress that matters most.

E.However, there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear.

F.It's also a chance to understand what's at the heart of your personal stress.

G.But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.

    Most people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: First, they are not trained in how to be creative. Second, they don’t understand group strength well enough to harness(驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.

A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.

To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence(分散) and convergence(集中). Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.

The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, it makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.

Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work on—this is healthy convergence.

When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect people’s initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members. Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.

This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.

1.We can infer that the traditional brainstorming methods ______.

A.enable people to form more ideas together

B.greatly encourage group creativity

C.actually limit group creativity

D.prevent people’s involvement in the problems

2.According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to _____.

A.think the other way round B.follow his way of thinking

C.be more confident in their own ideas D.be less willing to share their own ideas

3.What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?

A.Discuss the problem. B.Put down group statements together.

C.Simplify the problem. D.Write down their individual descriptions.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.A simple way to make group thinking more effective

B.Difficulties in organizing group thinking

C.Differences between divergence and convergence

D.Advantages of group thinking over individual thinking
