I always thought that stress is all bad... not until we had this stress management seminar from an adult psychiatrist who told us that there are stress which are inherently good but could also wear us down.. her example was the stress during childbirth .. stress during the expectant period during the delivery of the baby.. I was surprised about this, but do you think there are other positive or good stress in our lives? Please share your thoughts on this?

yes,there is such a thing as good stress. stress is actually divided into eustress(good stress) and distress(bad stress). one good example of eustress is progressive resistive training or weight lifting. it is still considered stress since it exerts a considerable amount of pressure to your body but it is done to enhance your bodily function. distress is the exact opposite.

hi,
I never heard of a good stress,maybe there is but Im not aware of it. For me,stress is always negative. I feel stress when Im tired,bored,sick or not in the mood.
