Surprising benefits of ‘Good Stress’

We’ve heard repeatedly that stress is unhealthy and that we should try to manage it as much as possible.

But getting worked up isn’t always a bad thing. After all, the body’s fight-or-flight response is meant to be protective, not harmful.

Here’s more about good stress and how a little short-term anxiety can actually benefit your brain and body.

Does Good Stress Exist?

Yes, it does: Good stress, also known as eustress, is “the positive stress response involving optimal levels of stimulation. In other words, it is stress that may arise from doing something demanding but enjoyable. Some examples of activities or events that might result in good stress are:

  • Going into retirement
  • Starting a family
  • Preparing for a new job position
  • Being involved in an athletic event

Though good stress comes about due to anticipation of something exciting, it is not the only kind of stress with better outcomes. Its opposite, distress—which we think of when stress comes to mind, can also benefit our minds and bodies.

How Can Stress Be Positive?

Short-term reactions to stress, in general, can actually help us deal with a stressful experience. Thus, stress can be advantageous in a few ways.

It Helps Boost Brainpower

Low-level stressors stimulate the production of brain chemicals called neurotrophies and strengthen the connections between neurons in the brain. This may be the primary mechanism by which exercise (a physical stressor) helps boost productivity and concentration.

Additionally, stress has the potential to aid in improving your memory in a short time span for some situations (e.g., needing to take a written exam).

It Can Increase Immunity—In the Short Term

When the body responds to stress, it prepares itself for the possibility of injury or infection. One way it does this is by producing extra interleukins—chemicals that help regulate the immune system—providing at least a temporary defensive boost.”

Specifically, experiencing short-term stress might offer immunity-based protection if a person is wounded or has an infection.

It Can Make You More Resilient

Learning to deal with stressful situations can make future ones easier to manage. Although you can certainly benefit from less extreme experiences as well.

For Example Repeated exposure to stressful events gives [SEALs] the chance to develop both a physical and psychological sense of control, so when they’re in actual combat, they don’t just shut down.

It May Motivate You To Succeed

Stress may be just the thing you need to complete tasks at work. Think about a deadline: It’s staring you in the face, and it’s going to stimulate your behavior to really manage the situation effectively, rapidly, and more productively.

The key, is viewing stressful situations as a challenge that you can meet rather than an overwhelming, unpassable roadblock.

Summary

It’s only when stress becomes chronic, or we feel we’re no longer in control of a situation that it negatively affects our health and wellbeing. If you still have difficulty managing stress, talk with a healthcare provider or mental health professional. They will be able to assist you in finding stress management techniques or treatments that will work best for you.
