Difference between good and bad stress..
Welcome to another page in the book of What They
Didn't Teach Me in College. Most of us know stress
to be stress , nothing less and nothing more.
It comes and it goes. Sometimes it might linger.
Other times it's associated with certain people or
tasks. We all deal with it, but do we really think
about it? If we were more conscious about the
types of stress that we deal with, it would be easier
to go about our day-to-day lives. There are two
kinds of stress, and here's what you need to know
to differentiate between good and bad stress:
Good Stress

catapults us to where we need to be. Good stress
gives you the motivation to overcome obstacles,
pushes you to achieve your goals and ultimately
leads to more happiness . The pressure of a
deadline or presentation can result in good stress,
which should only last for a little while.
Bad Stress

your body perceives a threat. Both your body and
your performance in your day-to-day life will suffer
from this kind of stress. Weight loss or gain,
memory loss and irritability are all side effects. Bad
stress can initially be caused by good stress that
has evolved, the death or loss of a loved one,
relationship trouble or high-demanding work.
Negative stress is the type that we need to avoid.
Find different ways to unwind and decompress
when met with this kind of stress, or turn it up a
notch and remove those negative stressors from
your life immediately .
Who's ready to kick bad stress out of their life? We
are!
