Stress can be bad, and is most often associated with something bad. But, stress can be good too. Are you wondering how stress can be good?
Simply put, a certain amount of stress can help push us to maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Our focus and productivity can improve with good stress. We call this good stress “eustress”.
Eustress is something most of us never think about. Our thoughts usually revolve around the negative form of stress called “distress”. Distress is the form we mostly focus on because it is the most noticeable of the two forms.
Why should we stop and take notice of the stress that makes us feel good? You only notice stress when something is feeling wrong or unpleasant and you are unable to ignore it because of this unpleasantness. It is when we experience this unpleasant feeling that something needs to be done.
