Answer 2

Your body knows the difference between good and bad stress. You produce hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine and adrenaline when you experience stress. These hormones give you energy and allow you to react to a stressful situation right away. Many times we call this the fight or flight stress response.

Good stress is called eustress. Good stress occurs when we have a task to do and we feel in control and have a positive attitude toward our stress experience. You may experience this stress when your child is graduating from school, you have a big project at work or you are planning your wedding. This good stress energizes you, helps you focus and gives you a sense of accomplishment. This type of stress however, can give way to acute stress. It is our normal stress response that lasts a short amount of time in a stressful situation. You experience stress as you take a test, have an accident or maybe the death of your pet. Your body produces the stress response with the associated hormones and then returns to normal after you have experienced the event.

Your perception and attitude toward the stress you are experiencing will determine whether your stress is eustress or bad stress. Each of us is different and therefore we experience stress differently. You may love to travel and therefore when you are at the airport you are thrilled and experience eustress. Another person may be terrified of flying and they have a major negative stress response. This person is almost paralyzed thinking of traveling and their hearts begin to pound, their blood pressures rise and they can't think clearly.

Answer 3

Stress can be both good as well as bad. Bad stress is the stress that affects your body negatively. Good stress is the stress caused by exercising and gyming which improves the physique.
