Thats when chronicity and the shock factor comes in, right? Its not simply positive in the sense that positive news can bring happiness, and negative news brings sadness/stress.ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑23 Aug 2020, 20:47 I am not certain, how will you consider the stress that suddenly sts in after receiving a piece of good news? I've known that many people had failed to cope up and die. For instance, if you receive news that your house got burned, that is negative stress. But if that person received news that he won some millions in a lottery, that is positive news, and some people died due to this.

What would be your example of a positive stressful situation? Just curiousJoseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 07:46I think the fear of the unknown is also closely associated with stress. Change in our routines can also contribute to anxiety. Identifying these situations can help you realize whether you are dealing with positive or negative stress.Thea Frederick wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020, 20:43 This is a really interesting question!
I wonder if maybe it comes down to your exact definition of “stress”. Stress can certainly prompt you to do things you should be doing, but too much stress can also be very bad, or stress in the wrong situation. So I guess it comes down to the particulars. What is the situation? How stressed are you? How are you going to react to that stress?

I couldn't agree more. The sad fact is that a lot of people have negative stress.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 14:50 Positive stress example= Working an additional hour to earn extra pay to provide your family with a proper livelihood.
Negative stress example= Worrying about a new pair of clothes you need to buy while you necessarily don't need them.

Yes indeed, that's positive stress.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 05:59 The book talks about stressors (reasons for one to stress) being of two types- positive and negative. I always believed stress was not good emotionally and physically, basically negative.
But now that I think about it, an assignment which you can solve with some hours of studying should be positive stress. Am I thinking right? Do you have any better examples?
Negative stress, I'd say, comes from inherently negative experiences.
Positive stress can come from positive experiences such as getting a promotion at work and needing to improve one's skills upon taking up new responsibilities.

Oh yes! I totally agree with you. Giving up can have a detrimental effect, whereas the delight and satisfaction that comes from getting the job done cannot be easily surpassed. Oh, if only that was easy to remember and put into practise all the time!Sou Hi wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 00:21 Yes, I suppose everything exists with two perspectives. Personally, I don't regard stress as purely negative. As the researchers say, when human beings are driven into a corner, their adrenaline will reign and humans become supermen. Stress is actually a means of self-defense, but based on how you view the situation, it can be negative or positive. For example, you're facing a deadline. If you give up and do nothing but worry about it, the stress is negative and harmful for your health. But if you think of it as a challenge for your own ability, like "Let's see how much I can do before the deadline.", it will help to boost your creativity under the pressure. That way, not only your work can be done, you'll also be delighted and satisfied.
