Tell us about eustress and why it is considered a positive type of stressĬonsider this scenario, its 9am you are stuck in the traffic and your reporting time at office is 9:15am, your office is still 10kms away, if you are late you might have to face loss of pay. But stress is not always a bad thing as we perceive. Think about this: You are stressed about your work deadline, over the day you might experience feelings like dullness of mood, fatigue, tightness of muscles of back/chest/limbs and uneasiness, you might feel pressure in your head and headache, you might also complain of body ache, difficulty to breathe: this is due to the underlying ‘tension’ in your various body parts causing all this secondary to stress.
