But beneath the obvious signs of stress are other factors we often overlook: tiredness, irritability, and physical symptoms.

(00:00) Have we normalised being stressed all the time? (02:04) When stress helps and when it doesn't (04:47) What mindfulness actually means in daily life (07:56) Spotting the subtle signals of stress (10:53) How our views on stress are changing (13:04) Small steps to break the stress cycle

Interview mit einer Psychologin: So kannst du Stress verstehen (DE)

Stress ist zu einem festen Bestandteil unseres Alltags geworden – oft sprechen wir sogar mit einem gewissen Stolz darüber. Doch hinter den offensichtlichen Anzeichen von Stress verbergen sich weitere Signale, die wir leicht übersehen: Müdigkeit, Reizbarkeit oder körperliche Beschwerden. In diesem Gespräch hilft uns OpenUp-Psychologin Leonie Manthey, die stillen Wege zu erkennen, auf denen sich Stress bemerkbar macht. Sie erklärt, wie er unsere Gedanken und unser Verhalten beeinflusst – und was er uns eigentlich mitteilen will, wenn wir innehalten und genau hinhören. 0:00 Verstehe Stress: Gut, Schlecht und die Reaktion des Körpers 3:00 Wenn Stress zu viel wird: Immer unter Strom 5:50 Wie sich Stress zeigt: Alltag und körperliche Symptome 9:34 Akuten Stress bewältigen: Fight, Flight und kurze Pausen 13:04 Auf die Bremse treten: Selbstwahrnehmung und Reflexion 15:43 Stress ignorieren: Langzeitfolgen und tägliche Gewohnheiten 20:26 Dein individueller Stress: Akzeptanz und Selbstmitgefühl 24:49 Rückblick: Strategien für Balance und Wohlbefinden
