Great questions especially for the month of May!
Positive stress is usually temporary and serves as a motivator to achieve higher objectives. When experiencing positive stress, you will have a sense of control over the tasks you undertake, leading to improved performance and outcomes.
Negative stress is typically long-lasting, often chronic and exhausting, hindering productivity and diminishing quality of life. It can impede goal achievement and prevent recovery from the body’s fight-or-flight response, leaving you in a perpetual state of alert.
I hope this helps!
