Healthy or unhealthy stress?
Stress is a regular part of daily life for people. Some stress in our life is good and healthy for us. For example, when stress is manageable, it can motivate us into action, challenge us, help us achieve our goals, and bring out the best in us. This kind of positive stress is sometimes called "eustress".
