How to Make Stress Work for You by Kimberly Bethany Bonura

Kimberly Bethany Bonura's, How to Make Stress Work for You, helps re-frame the definition of stress. She notes that there is a big difference between minor annoyances and major physical or psychological trauma. We often over react to the minor annoyances such as getting stuck in traffic or waiting in line at the DMV.  She actually highlights the process of post traumatic resilience for individuals that become stronger after going through a major traumatic event.

She also provides mindfulness strategies used to handle the minor annoyances and also help us to become more resilient for more significant events.
