Stress expert Heidi Hanna has a saying: stressing is a blessing. If you feel skeptical about that, keep reading — Heidi convinced me, and her ideas have allowed me to take advantage of stress and make it work for my benefit.

Stress is often framed as a bad thing, but Heidi knows that there are ways to take advantage of stress to improve your mood and productivity. In her work as founder of Synergy, a consulting company that works with companies to improve performance through brain-based strategies, Heidi has developed actionable ways to change your relationship with stress.

Before I decided to start my own business as an author, speaker, and media trainer, I worked as a senior health producer for television news. Even though I loved my job, the time came when I realized I wanted to move on.

The day I realized I needed a change, I wrote myself a long email about how I was feeling. I used an app called Boomerang for Gmail to schedule the email to arrive in my inbox one year later.

I knew that if I didn’t document how I was feeling in that moment, I would be able to trick myself into forgetting that it was time for me to start something new.
