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?
