Stress is not always a bad thing. Feeling stressed is perfectly normal, especially when you have a deadline looming. You may notice that sometimes being stressed motivates you to focus on your work, yet other times you feel overwhelmed and cannot concentrate. While stress affects everyone in a different way, there are two major types of stress: stress that is beneficial and motivating, Eustress, and stress that can cause anxiety and even health problems, Distress. Everyone needs a little stress in their life in order to continue to be happy, motivated, challenged, and productive. It is when this stress is no longer tolerable or manageable that distress comes in.<\/p>\n

According to experts, stress is a burst of energy and can have many advantages in small doses. For example, stress can help you meet daily challenges and motivate you to reach your goals. Stress can also help you to accomplish tasks more efficiently and even boost memory. In addition, there are various health benefits with a little bit of stress. Researchers believe that some stress can even help to fortify the immune system.<\/p>\n

Stress can be helpful, but too much of it can be detrimental. Emotional stress that stays around for weeks or months can weaken the immune system and cause many health issues. When tension builds, there is no longer any fun in the challenge, there seems to be no relief, and no end in sight. This is the kind of stress most of us are familiar with and this kind of stress that leads to poor decision making.<\/p>\n
