strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger but it can also be a bad thing if the
stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength. Good stress
is called eustress, whereas bad stress is termed distress.

through self-motivating ourselves to find a workable solution to the task, as self-motivation is our ability to
identify effective methods of thinking about something to taking action about it. Breaking down the job into
smaller tasks comprises the thinking part, whereas accomplishing each small part of the task comprises the
‘taking action’ part.
