Stress can be good for you. This may be surprising and perhaps a little disturbing to read. Yet, stress can be motivating and life saving. Physical stress like exercise actually strengthens connections of neurons in our brains. Scientists have a name for this good kind of stress — eustress.
Eustress can also help you enter a state of ‘flow,’ a heightened sense of awareness and complete absorption into an activity, according to research from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Flow can be achieved in the workplace, in sports, or in a creative endeavor (such as playing a musical instrument), and Csikszentmihalyi argues that it’s driven largely by pressure to succeed.”

Many of us live in an overdrive state of stress without even really noticing. Consider your stress tipping point.
The distinction between good and bad stress is a tipping point—the moment at which anxiety transforms from a motivating factor into a force that overpowers our resilience. Scientists know that a severe, prolonged bout of anxiety puts the body’s stress response system into a tailspin. It can even change the way the brain expresses certain genes.”
