Seriously, Good Stress?
By Mark Flippo
According to Selye, eustress really has emotional and physical health benefits.
========================================================
It differs from distress with the following characteristics:
It only lasts in the short term
It energizes and motivates
It is perceived as something within our coping ability
It feels exciting
It increases focus and performance
========================================================
On the other hand, distress, or negative stress, is characterised by:
Lasting in the short as well as in the long term
Triggering anxiety and concern
Surpassing our coping abilities
Generating unpleasant feelings
Decreasing focus and performance
Contributing to mental and physical problems
========================================================
Color me shocked! I read this from a Time Online Health Article. I always thought all stress was bad for you. After this I have a better understanding of why it is written in scripture that "all things work for my good!" Well, there is no more doubting of this scripture, by anyone! No more complaining when things get tough all around you. God is using it to make you better in the above ways. If you would just Trust Jesus you will always come out on the good side!
