Coping with stress:
I tell you to run an imagination into your mind; you have done a research and you are going to submit the paper in the conference tomorrow. How do you organize yourself? You get nervous, added with little fear. This stress will always remind you that you have to organize all the documents/slides the previous day itself; stress will help you to be at the venue the right time, at the total it keeps you very much attentive. Thus this is a positive stress, as it helps you to be attentive and responsible. It works best in a positive manner if you manage this at its best. And now we will discuss about the difference between positive stress and negative stress. The negative stress is commonly known and called as stress; the positive stress is called as ‘‘Eustress’’.
Eustress is a term coined by a person called, Hans Selye, who is endocrinologist (branch of biology and medicine). The word eustress consists of two parts. The prefix eu- derives from the Greek word meaning either "well" or "good." When attached to the word stress, it literally means "good stress". It is the positive cognitive response to stress that is healthy, or gives one a feeling of fulfillment or other positive feeling. Eustress has also been positively correlated with life satisfaction and well-being. Eustress is common in the examples. Like, Meeting or engaging in a challenge, Playing sports, listening to a suspenseful story etc. However, the examples depend on how an individual identifies the stress.Let us move on to the other part of our reading.
