Today is my day 4 of the 30 days writing challenges. I've decided to dedicate it on inspiring TED Talk videos. Everyone who knows me is aware that I'm a a huge TED supporter so my choice isn't a huge surprise!
So here we go (in no particular order):
1. Kelly McGonigal: How to make stress your friend
Ask yourself a question: "How much stress have I experienced in the last year?" You're probably thinking that stress is inherently bad for you. Well, Kelly McGonigal Proves just the opposite! Stress isn't necessarily bad. The perception of it, however, predetermines stress's effect on us.
2. Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?
This is one of the most watched TED videos of all times. Sir Ken Robinson's brave public shaming of the classic educational system will make you appreciate the importance of dance in education.
3. Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight
That incredible brain researcher experienced something not many brain researchers get to see first-hand - a stroke! And she manages to recreate all these sensations nine years after her recovery.
4. Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are
Amy Cuddy's research found that two minutes of implementing some "power poses" when you're before an important event can make you seem much more confident than you feel! So those secret rituals can open many doors for you.
5. Cameron Russell: Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model.
There you go - the one person that you'd almost expect to think that looks are the most important thing (she makes money out of her looks after all), admits that this isn't the case!
