Stress or more specifically stressors, can have both positive and negative effects on the body.
Some of the positive effects of stress include the following:
Stress can be the driving force that pushes us to succeed; to work harder.  When we are successful in a stressful situation, that helps to build confidence in ourselves and provides us with the confidence to attempt other challenges and also to be more likely to look at a stressful situation as one that we are able to handle.
Low levels of stress can stimulate the release of neurotrophins.  Neurotrophins are chemicals released by the nervous system that have many different functions, but one of the functions is to regulate neurotransmissions and the effectiveness of neurotransmission.  This can increase the ability to concentrate.
Stress can push you to change, to seek a new solution to a problem.
Stress can also have negative effects. Some of the negative effects of stress include:
Stress can have an adverse effect on mood promoting anxiety, feelings of loneliness, etc.
Stress can affect memory.
Chronic stress can lower the immune system.
Chronic stress can have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system, the digestive system and more.
So how can we help to reduce chronic stress and turn stressors from a negative into a positive.  Identify one strategy that either you effectively use to reduce the negative effects of stress or a strategy that you would like to try.
