In most cases Eustress “provides” additional energy for implementing and/or completing several duties and/or obligations – passing important exams, implementing difficult projects, winning competition, marring someone or choosing a partner, entering to university or college, confronting obstacles, etc. Usually Eustress increases the level of adrenaline to help accomplish goals, fulfill duties and/or meet planned deadlines.
Eustress is very important for problem solving, for finding compromises and for making changes in our life - thanks to Eustress we are able to change daily routine, respond to threatening situations, change our lifestyle, change or avoid negative behaviors and move to another job or to another city.

The terminology “Eustress” was suggested by Dr Hans Hugo Bruno Selye who was a pioneering Hungarian endocrinologist – he was the first person who defined stress. Dr Hans Selye was recognized as "father" of stress research – he first demonstrates the existence of biological stress (body's nonspecific response to a demand placed on it). Dr Selye actually explained that human body has a certain reaction to any demands that are placed on it (physically, psychologically, or mentally).
The word “Eustress” consists of two parts - the prefix “eu” derives from the Greek word meaning "well" or "good" + the word “stress” = all together means Positive Stress or Good stress.
Scientists discovered that Eustress provides mental alertness, motivation, efficiency and increased self-esteem. Actually stress can be beneficial if people react positively (as positive as possible depending on situation).
In most cases Eustress gives additional energy to throw yourself into something where you want to make some contribution and/or accomplishment (passing exam, winning competition, marrying loved one, etc.)
Many women recognize that life without stress could be very boring and not interesting. Eustress makes life interesting and exciting - positive stress is essential for bringing best to our boring life. Scientists discovered that Eustress is healthy for our body – Eustress is making us stronger and increases our motivation, inspiration, creativity, productivity and creative thinking.
Thanks to Eustress we can achieve more, to improve many things in our life, to win competitions, to fight for justice and to support poor and weak.
