“You all know I have terminal cancer—and I have a lot of it. But what you may not know is that stress induces its spread and induces its activity. Stress may even bring it on. Yet stress is the fuel of the activist. This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life. I know I can't have both very long. The trade-offs are all right with me. But if the legacy we helped give Oregon and which made it twinkle from afar—if it goes, then I guess I wouldn't want to live in Oregon anyhow.” IfsKnowsWantGivingMayLongMadeI CanActivityStressTradeCancerSpreadMade ItLegacyFuelLove LifeActivistAfarTerminalOregonTrade OffsTerminal Cancer Author:Tom McCall

“At every level, from the microcellular to the psychological, exercise not only wards off the ill effects of chronic stress; it can also reverse them. Studies show that if researchers exercise rats that have been chronically stressed, that activity makes the hippocampus grow back to its preshriveled state. The mechanisms by which exercise changes how we think and feel are so much more effective than donuts, medicines, and wine. When you say you feel less stressed out after you go for a swim, or even a fast walk, you are.” IfsThinkingFeelsHas BeensStatesShowsGrowsWalksLevelsStudyEffectsExerciseActivityStressWineMedicineIllPsychologicalSwimMechanismReverseRatsStressedResearchersDonutsStressed Out Author:John Ratey
“During my eleven years as a New York City public school teacher, I saw firsthand the impact that poverty has on the classroom.

“Indeed we have great reason to rejoice. If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most.

“The part of the brain most affected by early stress is the prefrontal cortex, which is critical in self-regulatory activities of all kinds, both emotional and cognitive.
