Some stress makes you react positively; stress can give runners the “edge” needed to make it through to the finish line. On the other hand, some stress can be harmful; it can increase the risk of developing health problems such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. For this reason, stress can be divided into either eustress (good) or distress (bad). What are some positive ways you deal with stress? What are some negative ways you deal with stress? Be sure to include at least one goal that discerns a new coping skill you will utilize to decrease stress and cope healthy in the future.
