To deal with this, we may have been taught that it is important to calm ourselves down when we feel stressed but new research suggests there is a way of working with our stress responses that will enhance our performance. Viewing stress negatively actually makes stress have an adverse impact on the body, and reframing it makes it act positively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When stress becomes dangerous<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress becomes dangerous when we start to have a stress response but there is no stressor or when our response related to the stressor is over the top. Learning to manage stress and anxiety is important to avoid developing chronic stress or anxiety, and those calming techniques that you might have previously been using for all stress should come into play to help mitigate your stress levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lunchtime Life Skills: Stress and anxiety &#8211; A new approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this free webinar run by Curtin&#8217;s Psychological and Counselling team, learn about what stress and anxiety are, and what happens in the body and mind when you are stressed or anxious. You will also learn an alternative view of stress and anxiety to help you respond more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n<section\n                class=\"block block--no-indent article-overlay \"\n        role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Article overlay\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n    <div class=\"grid\">\n\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/I4R8968-1000x500.jpg\" class=\"article-overlay__image\" alt=\"Photo of three female students on bean bags\">\n        <div class=\"article-overlay__inner\" data-overlay-offset=\"medium\">\n                            <h2 class=\"article-overlay__title\">Lunchtime Life Skills: Stress and Anxiety &#8211;
