Create good stress

You have heard that there is "good stress" and "stress evil". Do you know what people mean by that? Rarely hear people say, "I'm really feeling stressed - is not so good"? But if we do not have some stress in our lives, the variety of 'good stress' - would be confused and unhappy. If we define stress as any thing that alters our homeostasis, for better or for worse, stress good, in its many forms, is vital for a healthy life. However, good stress can become stress evil and vice versa. Here is what you need to know about good stress. Called "good stress", or what psychologists call "eustress", is the kind of stress that we feel when we feel excited. Our pulse accelerates, changing our hormones, but there is no threat or fear. We believe that this kind of stress to ride a roller coaster, weapon for a promotion or go on a first date. There are many triggers for this good stress, and keeps us feel alive and excited about life.

Another type of stress is acute stress. Next rapid surprises that need a response. Stress acute active response to the stress of the body as well, but the triggers are not always happy and exciting. This is what you normally think of as "stress". Acute stress in itself does not have a high price if we find ways to relax quickly. Once that has been addressed the stressful, we have to return to our body to homeostasis, or its status pre-stress, healthy and happy.

The kind of stress that really have to worry about is the chronic stress. This type of stress comes when faced with stressful repeatedly that they have a high price and it seems inescapable. A stressful job or an unhappy home life can bring the chronic stress. This is what normally thing of severe stress. Because our bodies aren't designed to chronic stress, we can cope with negative effects on health (physical and emotional) if we try to chronic stress over a long period of time. (Read more about the negative effects of chronic stress).

Okay, back to stress good. Learn about the different types of stress, makes sense to get more good stress in his life. Because you can really get too even the good kind of stress, it is important to choose activities in your life that make you feel good, happy and excited by life. It is also a good idea to cut as many activities as you can to drain you, or bring to the experience of chronic stress. A good way to assess whether or not an activity is worth their time is paying attention to how the thought of makes you feel. Do you feel excited at the thought? Do it is an activity of "want", or an activity "is that"? Make sure that their activities "wants" are all the things you really want to do, and their activities "is that" are absolutely necessary. (Read this article for more ideas on how get good stress in your life and to establish priorities and create or refine a plan of life). I have alluded to it already twice: good stress can be bad for you if you have too. (Addicted to the adrenaline can show this first hand.) This is because its the stress response is activated in any way, and if you are going to add that chronic stress, or several other stressors, there is still a cumulative effect: lots of stress! That is why it is important to be in tune with yourself and be able to tell when you've had too much. (See this article for more information about how to know if you've had too much good stress). Not all forms of stress can wrong be good stress, but it is possible to change the perception of some of the stressors in your life, and this change in perception can change your experience of stress! This is because the response to the stress of the body reacts strongly to perceived threats; If they don't perceive something as a threat, it is not generally any response of stress based on the threat. (Read more here about the stress response.) If there is something like a challenge, fear to her would normally experience can become excitement and anticipation, or at least addition to determination. (See this for more information on perception of threat and challenge.) It can often make the change in the perception of resources, see the hidden benefits of a situation, and reminding himself of its strengths. Getting into the habit of thinking like an optimist may also help. Once in the practice of looking at things like challenges more often, it becomes more automatic.

In general, it is important to have good stress in your life. Making the effort to cut chronic as much stress as possible, change your perception of stress where can and add some positive activities in the mix to promote eustress, you can create a nice balance of good stress in his life.
