We all experience some stress in our lives, what's important is that we learn to differentiate between "good" and "bad" stress. Check out these questions that can help you determine what kind of stress you're experiencing.
Do you have control?🎮 If you don't feel like you have control of the situation or outcome you're stressing over, it's more likely to be distressing than a motivating stressor.
Is there a reward?🎖️Stress that is tied to a reward like planning a wedding or going back to school can often be good stress.
Is this stress temporary? ⏰ If you're stressed about something that you can't power through, or that keeps reoccurring, chances are the negative effects of stress will accumulate.
If you answered "no" to these questions, you might be dealing with bad stress. Let's talk about it! Send me a message.
