Kobasa (1979) hypothesized the following:
Highly stressed persons who stay healthy possess to a greater extent than highly stressed persons who get sick:
(a) the belief that they can control or influence the events of their experience
(b) an ability to feel deeply involved in or committed to the activities of their lives, and
(c) the anticipation of change as an exciting challenge to further development. (Kobasa, 1979, p. 415)
It breaks my heart that Kobasa (I want to french kiss Kobasa for these words) came up with this in 1979. Why have we not been shouting this from the rooftops?! Can you feel the powerful vibrations from the truth of these words?
