GOOD STRESS AND BAD STRESS.
Good Stress, also known as Eustress, is short-term and can be healthy and motivating. It promotes alertness, cognitive function, and can enhance performance. This type of stress can help activate our body and brain, giving us the energy to complete the task at hand. Once the task is complete or the problem is solved, the stress goes away, and our nervous system returns to a calm state. Examples of good stress can include challenging work projects, learning a new skill, or even life events like getting married or starting a new job
On the other hand, Bad Stress, or Distress, is the kind that wears you out, leaves you jittery, and can be harmful to your health. This type of stress can lead to anxiety, confusion, poor concentration, and decreased performance. It becomes problematic when it never or rarely subsides, leading to physical symptoms such as tension headaches and chronic pain. Chronic, negative stress can impact your health and relationships.
It’s important to note that the perception of stress can vary from person to person. What might be a trigger for good stress for one person could be a trigger for bad stress for another.
