It's important to note that eustress and distress are not always clear-cut. What feels like eustress to one person might feel like distress to another. The difference often lies in our perception and ability to cope with the stressor.
This distinction becomes even more crucial when we consider the potential long-term effects of chronic stress. Research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2023 highlighted the link between stress and cardiovascular health. The studies found that depression, anxiety, and chronic stress can accelerate the onset of cardiovascular risk factors, such as heart attack and stroke. One study even showed that people with higher genetic sensitivity to stress developed these risk factors at a younger age.
To harness the benefits of eustress, try the following tips:
1. Change Your Mindset: We can start by reframing our perception of stress. Instead of viewing it as a threat, let’s look at it as an opportunity for growth. This shift in how we think can turn potentially distressing situations into "eustressful" ones.
2. Set Realistic Goals: How we approach goal setting can make all the difference between experiencing eustress or tipping into distress. Make big tasks small, decide what matters most, and celebrate progress along the way.
3. Practice Self-Care: Sometimes we need to be our own best friend and cut ourselves some slack. Exercise, a balanced diet, sleep, and mindfulness practices like meditation can help us lean toward eustress.
4. Seek Support: Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or professionals for support. Some things in life are too big to handle on our own. Let those who care about you help!
5. Create a Positive Work Environment: The American Psychological Association's 2021 Work and Well-being Survey revealed that workplace stress significantly impacts employees' mental health and job satisfaction. If you're feeling overwhelmed at work, consider discussing your concerns with your supervisor.
6. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to stress signals. Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out? That's a sign it’s time to step back and reassess. Remember, in most cases, it's OK to walk away. And when it's not, just focus on doing the next right thing.
Remember, “Stress happens when something you care about is at stake. It's not a sign to run away—it's a sign to step forward.”
