Brain Stress Answers

6. When a person feels generally comfortable, connected, that they

count, capable and in control of what happens in their life (the

Big 5 C Needs), there is enough ‘yellow feel good’ in their body

that when the blue stress comes their way, it turns green.

This ‘green stress’ helps us to become more resilient for

next time – it helps us fly. When we go for an interview

and feel anxious but keep going; when someone is unkind

or intolerant and we manage the unpleasant feeling and

still feel ok about ourselves; when we experience a

disappointment or set back and keep going – this is green

stress in action helping us to become stronger.

Green lensed people can keep going when stressors come their

way.
