What is good stress and bad stress class 10

Have you ever wondered… is stress good or bad? You might be surprised to find out that it can actually be both. Many people are quick to assume that all stress is bad for you. However, this isn’t always the case. In fact, some types of short-term stress can even motivate you and enhance your performance. That said, like most things in life, too much stress can cause adverse physical and, more importantly, mental health effects. It’s essential to understand how to identify the different types of good and bad stress, so you can better manage your levels and ensure that the pressure isn’t getting the best of you. Let’s review the differences between good and bad stress, look at some examples of each type, and learn about self-care tactics that can help you relax and enjoy your life more, Good Stress vs. Bad Stress Both good and bad stress can cause your body to secrete certain hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can cause a racing heart, rapid breathing, sweaty hands, and butterflies in your stomach, among other things. Known by mental health professionals as eustress and distress, the two types of stress can have different effects on you. Eustress, or good stress, typically has a positive effect and gives you an upbeat outlook. This type of stress might even encourage you to feel motivated and enthusiastic about making a change in your life. Good stress can often leave you feeling energized and able to overcome adversity, illness, or anything challenging th...

Stress Management: How to Tell the Difference Between Good and Bad Stress Posted January 18, 2021 Stress is a natural part of our modern lives. Bills come every month, kids’ activities are year-round and work never seems to slow down. A little bit of stress is inevitable, but oftentimes that’s a good thing. Stress helps you meet your daily challenges and motivates you to reach your goals, ultimately making you a smarter, happier and healthier person. That’s right. Good stress is vital for a healthy life. Good vs. Bad Stress You may think any type of stress is bad, but that isn’t the case. Good stress, or eustress, is the type of stress you feel when you’re excited. Your pulse quickens and your hormones surge, but there is no threat or fear. You might feel this type of stress when you ride a roller coaster, compete in a game, or go on a first date. Good stress is short-term and it inspires and motivates you, focuses your energy and enhances performance. Bad stress, however, is the kind that wears you out, leaves you jittery and is harmful to your health. Bad stress, or distress, can lead to anxiety, confusion, poor concentration and decreased performance. Bad stress can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute stress doesn’t take a heavy toll on your body if you can find ways to relax quickly. However, chronic stress, when you repeatedly face stressors, can take a heavy toll on your body and can cause negative health effects. Chronic stress can cause headaches, i...

There’s a secret weapon for dealing with something unexpected. And you might be used to thinking of it as something that would undermine you, not help you shine. Just ask Wendy Berry Mendes, PhD. She’s the Sarlo/Ekman Professor of Emotion at the University of California, San Francisco. But earlier in her life, she was a ballerina who loved performing. While she was on stage, her body sent an extra boost to her muscles and brain, helping her dance better. What’s the scientific name for this incredibly useful reaction? “Not all stress is necessarily bad for you,” Mendes says. She studies how people can take advantage of its benefits -- sometimes called “eustress” to differentiate it from debilitating “distress.” Good Stress vs. Bad Stress Although you’ve almost certainly heard about how stress can lead to heart disease, muscle pain, and assorted other ailments, there’s more to it than that. At its simplest level, stress is a very basic process that occurs whenever you sense a change in demand, says Jeremy P. Jamieson, PhD, principal investigator at the University of Rochester Social Stress Lab. “No one says they’re stressed when they’re excited,” Jamieson says, even though that rush is a form of stress, too. All of those hormones that your body releases are meant to give you a burst of energy and make you more alert. “If athletes were taking them, they’d be banned for a long time,” Jamieson says. “These responses evolved to help us survive. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have them.”...

We usually don’t brag about being stressed. In fact, many of us dream of living lives that are as “stress-free” as possible. But is that really a good goal? Life would be boring without challenges and surprises. Monotony brings its own stress. But stressful, unexpected, challenging events are more than just a break from boring. These potential stressors provide us with It is worth examining the difference between good stress vs. bad stress, how to deal with both, how to transform stress into something productive, and why we need stress in our lives. Stress is a part of our everyday lives, but not all stress is bad. While many people believe stress is always negative, the fact is, we need stress in our lives. Stress refers to the physiological response that our body, emotions, and nervous system trigger in order to prepare us for situations that demand heightened awareness. There are three primary kinds of stress: acute, chronic, and eustress. Acute stress is the term for a short-lived stressor. It is generally associated with a protective response. If you were stepping out into a busy street, your body would react quickly in order to pull you out of harm's way. The panic that you feel is a sign of acute stress. However, when the danger has passed, the stress response generally dissipates. When it does, our body has a chance to recover from the physiological response. In modern life, we might experience acute stress from public speaking or an argument or nearly missing our ...

Bad stress feels overwhelming, like a pileup, and long-term stressors can lead to negative health effects. Help reduce stress by taking care of your physical health and talking to a trusted source. Now that April and Stress Awareness Month has come to a close and we have moved well into Mental Health Awareness Month, I thought it would be a good time to talk about the difference between good stress and bad stress and how they affect your mental health. Good stress Some stress can be good — it is what I describe as “what motivates us to get up and go to work and take care of one another.” You need some awareness and worry in order to remember to pay your bills, take the kids to school/sports/extra-curricular activities, do tasks and chores on time, etc. Otherwise, things may go undone/unfinished. So some amount of stress can motivate you and help you fulfill responsibilities, which can lead to a more fulfilling and happier life. I’ve recently asked a lot of people, including many of the farmers I work with, to describe types of good stress and examples I’ve been given are having a baby, planning a vacation, buying or remodeling a house, moving, starting a new job or project at work. These are all things that many folks want to do and are even excited about it, but nevertheless experience some amount of stress through the process. This kind of stress is typically short-term but ultimately can be beneficial as it allows you to focus your energies on a specific goal or task. B...

• Research shows that the U.S. population is one of the most stressed in the world. • Eustress—a good kind of temporary stress—can be healthy and motivating when it comes to promoting alertness and cognitive function. • Stress becomes problematic when it never or rarely subsides, and it can lead to physical symptoms such as tension headaches and chronic pain. The U.S. population is one of the most stressed in the world, according to the When Is Stress Actually Good for You? According to Aarons-Mele, good stress can help activate our body and brain and give us energy to complete the task at hand. Ideally, when the task is complete or the problem is solved, the stress goes away, and our nervous system returns to a parasympathetic—or calm—state. — Russ Morfitt, PhD How Do You Know When You’re Too Stressed? Stress becomes a problem when it never subsides, according to Aarons-Mele. This may be triggered by consistent external stressors, or it can turn into anxiety—which is not necessarily driven by a specific, external cause but rather an emotion that keeps one worried. “When we perceive a lot of threat in one area of life, we are often tempted to ignore other important areas to conserve our resources,” Morfitt said. “As a result, we stop making deposits into the important ‘relationship bank.’ Plus, with high negative stress, libido is often reduced while stress-driven irritability can create unnecessary interpersonal problems.” If you feel a little bit of stress every now and ...
