What is an example of positive stress?!


Question: I had to Google your question because I wasn't even sure what positive stress was ;))

I guess according to what I read if I have a deadline for a project and I'm a slacker, as the deadline approaches and I start stressing out then it releases adrenaline and helps me to finish it? I never thought of it as positive stress, but the article I just read says it is?

But this one paragraph I read below..I would like to know anyone who has total control over this positive or negative..
"The art of stress management is to keep yourself at a level of stimulation that is healthy and enjoyable - to create a balance of positive and negative stress that will motivate but not overwhelm you". ...
YEAH RIGHT! sounds easy on paper, doing it in real life..Hmmm?

Well, thanks, I learned something today..interesting question.

Exercise?

Well im not sure what exactly you mean. Right now i am going through some pretty hard and stressful times. It has made me think more positive about the future (i have been praying more often) I have re- evaluate my life and seen much room for improvement. I dont know if that is what you mean. I hope i helped a little.

Positive stress is called eustress and they are things like having a baby, getting married, getting a new job that pays more money or getting a job promotion. Things that are good and bring job but are still stressful like the things listed above.

The most positive kind of stress is the kind you weather and come out the other side having learned something.
All stress (good or bad) impacts you and your body.
Still, if you are a better stronger person for it, THAT is positive stress.
