Good Stress

Good Stress - Stress is generally considered good and useful when a person deals well with a short-term crisis, or even learns from the experience and masters new skills. In situations where the stress is precipitated by a cognitive or physical challenge, such as writing a report for work or performing in a sports competition, meeting the challenge gives people a heightened sense of accomplishment, mastery and power.”
