85-91% of what you worry about will never happen. And yet, your body is paying the price right now as if it already has. What if you could stop stress from silently draining your energy, straining your heart, and hijacking your health — and actually use it to your advantage instead? Did you know that humans are among the only beings that consciously — or unconsciously — suppress their own stress recovery? In this Insights Circle session, we explore how most of our stress today is triggered not by physical threats, but by thoughts, fears, and worries. Those stress hormones don’t metabolize the way they would if we were running from a bear. The result? Prolonged strain on our hearts, blood vessels, and overall wellbeing. The good news: science and our physical makeup have given us the tools to do better. Your Top 3 Takeaways 1. Worry is costing you more than you think. Learning to distinguish productive worry from destructive rumination is a gamechanger for your health and energy. 2. You can choose how you interpret stress. Stress is a signal, not a sentence. With the right strategies, you can shift from being hijacked by stress to responding with intention — making it work for you rather than against you. 3. Resilience is a skill, not a trait. Your brain is malleable at any age. Through science-backed strategies and emotional agility, you can build genuine stress hardiness and recover faster — no matter what life throws at you. “I’ve been through some terrible things in life, some of which actually happened.” — Mark Twain Who Should Attend Anyone interested in stress hardiness, resilience, and practical strategies for thriving in today’s high-pressure world.
