Question

In modern life, humans usually face fewer life-or-death threats like dangerous animals. But when our brains sense a threat coming, our bodies still have the same "fight or flight" response-even if the "threat" is a common occurrence like batting in a baseball game, singing a solo in the choir, or making plans for the future. Not all stress is negative.
Eustress, or "good stress," comes from excitement or anticipation. For example, if you're stressed about a big test, the stress can help you study harder and get a good grade. It's common to experience eustress when graduating, getting a new job, or going to college.
Even though eustress comes from a positive place, it can still feel like the bad kind of stress, called distress.
