The document summarizes two TED talks about coping with stress. The first talk discusses how 10 minutes of mindfulness can help nurture the mind. The second talk explains how viewing stress as helpful rather than harmful can make you healthier and that stress causes the release of oxytocin which motivates seeking social support under stress. The document also provides background on stress and defines life skills as psychosocial abilities that enable dealing with life's demands.

Mindful Marketing: Intentional, Inclusive & Integrated Marketing That Benefit...Shalini Bahl
Is mindful marketing an oxymoron? Mindfulness is becoming a buzz word. Many companies are making mindfulness available to their employees. The US army and many sports teams are adopting mindfulness training. Yet, we have not harnessed the power of mindfulness to inform marketing. What does it mean to be mindful in marketing?
Recent changes in consumers' marketplace attitudes and values accompanied by environmental, technological, and economic shifts have led to a new stream of research, transformative consumer research, which use rigorous methods to study and develop solutions that benefit all consumers around the world. Similarly, some marketers are starting to respond to the rapid changes in consumers' awareness, technology, and the environment. This new movement is called Marketing3.0.
This presentation on Mindful Marketing was given to exchange students , professors and business owners from El Salvador at the Institute. The work in mindful marketing is still emerging. I draw from research and practices in transformative consumer research, Marketing 3.0 and mindfulness to offer a framework that marketers can use in making decisions with more clarity, compassion and insight. Mindful marketing can develop marketers ability to move away from habitual ways of thinking and behaving in the marketplace toward more intentional, inclusive, and holistic marketing that is a win win for all stakeholders.
WARNING: Mindful Marketing is not for the lazy. It is going to compel you to question your assumptions, sit with your discomfort and not settle for the first solution you get.

Mindfulness
Enhancing mental health in the law
As a litigation lawyer, I often
found myself over-engineering
courtroom scenarios in my head
and when things didn’t go to plan
it would retrospectively cause me
mental angst.
Many of my friends practising law are burnt
out and share these sentiments, with some
maintaining that whilst they may have the
resilience to adequately deal with stress in
the workplace, they are seeing an influx
of their colleagues taking stress leave and
suffering from anxiety and depression.
Recent studies show that one in five
Australian employees have taken time off
work due to feeling mentally unwell in the
past 12 months and that untreated mental
health conditions cost Australian workplaces
approximately $10.9 billion per year.1
What is mindfulness?
You can be forgiven for being a little flippant
when you hear the term mindfulness, as it
seems to be the ‘buzzword’ used by every
self-proclaimed personal development guru
out there. In essence though, mindfulness is
simply the psychological process of bringing
our complete and undivided attention to our
internal and external experiences, as they are
occurring in the present moment.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of practising mindfulness are
abundant. From a mental health perspective,
it is a simple, non-prescriptive measure
that can be used to alleviate stress, anxiety,
depression, chronic pain and addiction.
Generally speaking, practising mindfulness
vastly improves mental health and
performance in the course of our personal
and professional lives.
Where’s the evidence?
As a lawyer I insisted; show me the
evidence! So I did some research and
found that a technique known as functional
magnetic resonance imaging, used to detect
blood flow in the brain, confirms that when
people are practising mindfulness, only
the pre-frontal cortex becomes enlivened.
This is the part of the brain associated with
awareness, attention, control, concentration
and decision making.
With prolonged practice, mindfulness
increases neuroplasticity, which in turn
enhances mental agility and performance.
It is because of this scientific evidence –
transcending it from a mere ‘buzzword’ to
being a credible and powerful tool to enhance
mental health – that we now have a range
of successful CEOs, business professionals
and leading institutions utilising mindfulness
to enhance their performance.2
The question I then asked myself was:
“If these successful bodies and people are
using mindfulness to reduce stress and
enhance their performance, why aren’t I?”
How can I start
practising mindfulness?
Daily meditation
The most powerful tool we know that can
be used to practise mindfulness is meditation.
I’ve personally been meditating for ten years
now and don’t believe I’d be able to get
through my day without it. It anchors my being
to everything that is important in my life and
has taught me.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.

Day 40 - Coping with Stress

My learning for the day
Today I want to summarise two TED talks on coping with Stress. The first talk
is about 10 minutes of mindfulness to nurture our mind. The second talk
is about making ‘stress’ your friend
Talk 1 - All it takes is ten mindful minutes
Speaker - Andy Puddicombe, Co-Founder, HeadSpace
Summary -
When was the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes?
Mindfulness expert Andy Puddicombe describes the transformative power of
doing just that
We experience every single moment of our life through our mind.
We rely upon our mind to make us feel happy, content, emotionally stable
and at the same time, to be kind and thoughtful and considerate in our
relationships with others.
We also depend upon it to make us focused, creative, spontaneous, and to
perform at our very best in everything that we do.
Our mind whizzes away like a washing machine going round and round to
manage all our demands from it. Do we realise how much stress we give to
our poor mind?
Shouldn’t we take some time out to look after our precious mind?
The ten minute mindfulness each day helps us do that.
Most people assume that mindfulness/ meditation is all about stopping
thoughts, getting rid of emotions, somehow controlling the mind, but actually
it's quite different from that.
It's more about stepping back, sort of seeing the thoughts clearly, witnessing
it coming and going, emotions coming and going without judgment, but with
a relaxed, focused mind, to familiarize yourself with the present moment so
2

that you get to experience a greater sense of focus, calm and clarity in your
life.
Don’t we owe this small bit to our mind?

friend, who taught me Dr. David O’Hare’s ultimate anti-stress weapon
called 365-method of stress relief - 3 times a day, 6 breaths a minute for 5
minutes. Grateful to you Dr David)
Talk 2 - How to make stress your friend
Speaker - Kelly McGonigal, Health psychologist, Stanford School of Medicine
Summary -
Stress makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat.
But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research
suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the
case.
Kelly had been teaching for a decade that stress is harmful, stress makes
you sick, it increases the risk of everything from the common cold to
cardiovascular disease.
She came across a study conducted to track 30,000 adults in the United
States for eight years after asking them a question, "Do you believe that
stress is harmful for your health?"
What they found was that people who experienced a lot of stress but did not
view stress as harmful had the lower risk of dying of stress.
These researchers, tracking deaths for 8 years, observed that 182,000
Americans died prematurely, not from stress, but from the belief that
stress is bad for you.
This study gave Kelly an insight - stress could be our friend and not an
enemy; Can changing how you think about stress make you healthier?
Her further research on Oxytocin, as a stress hormone, gave her one more
understanding - Stress makes you social (an under-appreciated aspect of
the stress response). She found that when oxytocin is released in the stress
3

response, it is to motivate you to seek support. When life is difficult, your
stress response wants you to be surrounded by people who care about you.
So when you reach out to others under stress, either to seek support or to
help someone else, you release more of this hormone, your stress response
becomes healthier.
When you choose to view your stress response as helpful, you create the
biology of courage.
And when you choose to connect with others under stress, you can create
resilience.
So when you face stress in the future, remember that you can trust yourself
to handle this friend of yours. And remember that you don't have to face
them alone.
What is stress?
When you perceive a threat or a major challenge, chemicals and hormones surge
throughout your body. This is called stress. It is basically a survival mechanism of
our body.
There is good stress (eustress), bad stress (acute stress) and chronic stress
Eustress is the type of stress when we feel excited e.g. when riding a roller coaster
or when competing for a promotion etc.
Acute stress is a short term stress because of some stressors e.g. stuck in a traffic
jam when we are late for a meeting, an argument with your spouse, an unkind
criticism from your boss etc.
Chronic stress is a long term stress brought on by continual acute stresses when we
repeatedly face stressors. This condition gives a feeling of helplessness and a
feeling of being put in inescapable state. Chronic stress causes many physical and
mental health related issues e.g. heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents,
cirrhosis of the liver and suicide.

What are Life Skills?
UNICEF defines Life skills as - psychosocial abilities for adaptive and positive
behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and
challenges of everyday life. They are loosely grouped into three broad categories
of skills
- cognitive skills for analyzing and using information,
- personal skills for developing personal agency and managing oneself,
- inter-personal skills for communicating and interacting effectively with others.
Which LifeSkills are covered?
The World Health Organisation identified these basic areas of life skills that are
relevant across cultures:
1. Decision-making
2. Problem-solving
3. Creative thinking
4. Critical thinking
5. Communication
6. Interpersonal skills
7. Self-awareness
8. Empathy
9. Coping with emotions
10. Coping with stress.

Some trivia
‘Life skills’ was never part of the school curriculum. WHO/ UNESCO mandated
academia to teach these skills in all schools across the globe in 1993.
Different countries educate their children in these skills with different objectives
- Zimbabwe and Thailand - prevention of HIV/AIDS
- Mexico - prevention of adolescent pregnancy
- United Kingdom - child abuse prevention
- USA - prevention of substance abuse and violence
- South Africa and Colombia - positive socialization of children.
