Learning Stress Management process - Eustress and Negative stress
Positive stress
Let us discuss what role stress plays in our life and the impacts. As we discussed earlier, none cane lead a life without stress and everybody has both 'positive and negative stress'.
Most of us live in such a consistent state of stress that we seldom (many times) acknowledge the pressure it puts on our lives. Anyway, adding “EU” in front of stress, it abruptly has a powerful word that drives us into a very 'positive and productive life'. No person can achieve anything without an amount of stress. The magic is discovering and differentiating the 'Eu-stress and Distress'. Read more on understanding stress management.
In general, eustress is the kind of pressure that motivates us to accomplish and even achieving more to lead to a 'successful and contented life'. Achievers have a definite eustress even though they have got and may feel some distress to get the things done in order.
Some other forms of eustress can be earning more with a project said to be proper, getting involved in new assignments, espousing a dream or even confronting something you are frightened of etc.
