TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

Or this is the main area I want to focus on, whether it's sleep or socialization or media use or your diet or movement.

And you kind of choose one and you go from there.

It's really it's a case by case basis.

The key is that you need to feel a sense of agency like I can do this and I want to do it.

And so whatever kind of sparks that flame within you to feel like you can make change happen is what I really encourage, because I deeply believe with me that we all have the power to make meaningful change happen.

And my job, by the way, you know, I get a lot of messages from readers saying, you changed my life.

And I always say, no, I didn't.

You changed your life.

I was simply a mirror and like the cheerleader for you to be on your journey.

Ooh, this is a juicy question.

So I would say, first off, that there is a... Let me define what resilience is.

True resilience, the scientific definition of resilience, is your innate biological ability to adapt, recover, and grow in the face of life's challenges.

What's interesting about resilience is that there can be no true resilience without a little bit of healthy stress because you need a little bit of healthy, adapted stress for resilience to show itself.

You can think of that relationship between healthy stress and resilience by thinking about when you were a child and you learned how to swim.

So your instructor, your swim instructor who encouraged you was healthy stress and your resilience, your innate ability kept your head above water while your arms were flailing.

And with time and practice, you were able to glide to the water with ease.

Similarly, with some of these techniques that we're going to talk about, it's a way to build your true resilience.

You know, I really struggled initially when I was thinking about what can the subtitle be.

Using that word resilience was a weighty decision for me because I'm sure all of you listening probably feel the same way.

But when I hear the word resilience now in this year, like in this moment in time, I cringe.
