GOOD stress vs. BAD stress?
What's good stress? What's bad stress? How does your nervous system, breathing, mindset and recovery play into all this? The answer will impact your mental health and physical wellbeing.
Stress can actually be fun.
Did you know that you actually LOVE stress? It’s true…sometimes.
If you have ever:
+Competed at game night
+Watched horror movies
+Ridden a rollercoaster
+Played Mario Cart
+Watched playoff football
+Gone to spin class
+Jumped out of airplane
+Did an escape room
...then you stressed yourself out on purpose. For fun
And to be clear, these things did create a stress response in your body--your pulse raced, your breath quickened and adrenaline pumped through your veins--and yet you probably didn’t assume any of those things would make you sick or give you long-term health problems.
Why is that? Isn’t stress supposed to be the silent killer?
