So I've found another article I am not to pleased about on the main page of this site. Apparently if we all just convince ourselves stress is a good thing(black and white thinking included) then it wont have detrimental effects.
here is the article:
Three Things Mentally Strong People Will Never Tell You About Stress | Leveraging Adversity
Of course, what was I thinking all I have to do is ignore the negative effects stress has on me and believe it's good and my problems handling stress will vanish....I guess those mentally strong people knew this all along though.
Or I could take a more realistic approach and view stress as something that just is, and use my brain to know that there is both positive and negative stress, too much of either can overwhelm someone though which can cause burn out. So the best approach is to identify positive stress and maintain a healthy level of that(what is a healthy level varies depending on the individual) so you have to identify what is a healthy stress level and what is an unhealthy stress level that causes impairment in functioning.
