A short educational YouTube clip by Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes for Stress Awareness Month explaining that stress has two forms—eustress (beneficial) and distress (harmful)—and that both consume bodily energy; the recommended goal is not to eliminate stress but to manage the energy spent on it, likened to managing a device battery.
Hey there, everybody. April is Stress awareness Month. Stress comes in two forms, eustress and distress. Eustress, or good stress, is what your body experiences when it's growing, digesting food, or doing something you really enjoy. Distress is when you're reacting to something physically or emotionally unpleasant. Either way, stress uses energy. The goal is not to eliminate stress, but to manage the energy you expend on stre, much like you manage the battery life on your mobile device.
