This article was about the three levels or types of stress. Acute, Episodic, and Chronic stress are the three types. Acute is the lowest level or the least harmful. It is the most widely experienced, caused by daily activities, and can be brought on by excitement or joy as well as more unpleasant things. It causes less severe symptoms. Episodic is brought about when acute stress is experienced too frequently and builds up to more severe symptoms. Chronic stress is when the stress is incessant and daily, to a point where the person is used to it. Long term exposure to stressors to this extent can bring on depression, suicide, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and other dangerous side effects.

This video was published July 7, 2009 intended to give advice on the five best ways to help relieve stress. The intended audience is for adults dealing with stress in their lives. Dr. Farrell is a psychiatrist and author of “How To Be Your Own Therapist”. There was a bias towards the idea that only adults suffer from stress but aside from that the purpose of this video was to inform and assist.
In this video she discusses how to manage stress. When you ask people what causes them stress, they could list a whole bunch of problems but those problems are just a part of life. Money, kids, work, friends, relationships and family are always going to be around so instead of trying to avoid stress, learn to manage it. Her five tips are to 1. take control of how you respond, 2.remember fun and laughter, 3. learn to breath, 4.take mini vacations, and 5.learn its okay to say no. Stress makes you feel like you're out of control and it's discouraging. Focus on what you can control and what you can control is your attitude. Stress also sucks the fun out of your life. Don't let it. Make an effort to be happy, have fun, and laugh. It's the best medicine. You also need to make a point of "breaking the cycle" of stress. Take a vacation, get away for a while and focus on yourself rather than all the things you always need to accomplish. And lastly learn to say no. You don't have to do everything people ask of you. That's why they ask. You have the option to say no. When you take on more than you can handle, you're just asking to be stressed. Take control of your stress. Don't let it get the best of you.

This video didn’t say when it was published and the intended audience was anyone that thought they were under stress and needed advice on how to deal with it. The speaker was Kelly McGonigal for TED Talks and her only bias was against stress. The purpose of her talk was to get people away from the idea that they were so stressed which was turning out to be the source of more of their problems then the stress itself. What I found most interesting about this video was the fact about how people that thought that stress was so dangerous died sooner than people who didn’t hold so much belief and fear of stress.
This video was about how to make stress your friend. Stress is not always bad but it can become harmful over long periods of time. Changing your mentality about stress can do wonders for your symptoms and can save your life.
