3. Stress may give you more energy

Short periods of stress can actually give you more energy to finish what you’ve started. “Positive stress, which is actually known as ‘eustress,’ is an experience that offers a beneficial form of arousal,” says Deborah Serani, PsyD, author of Living with Depression and an adjunct professor at Adelphi University.

“Situations that challenge us, or are exciting and stimulating, place stress on our mind and body—but the experience doesn’t necessarily cause discomfort. Instead, eustress tends to motivate us, sharpen our senses, and help us solve difficult problems.”

So, the good type of stress called eustress basically creates new neural pathways and stimulates healthful endorphins. We’re actually referring to challenges like giving a speech, receiving a promotion at work, having a baby, or moving to a new place.
