Stress isn’t all bad. Too much can adversely affect your health, strain your emotions, and lead to burnout. Prolonged stress makes recovery more difficult.
On the other hand in the right proportions stress can help you focus and actually improve your efficiency. It’s even possible to harness stress to become more productive.
Your outlook on life and your skills in dealing with stress determine your ability to achieve a sustainable balance between good stress and harmful stress.
Deep mindfulness meditation has been a big help to millions for centuries. Emergent Meditation is all about achieving equanimity, from which all benefit flow. With equanimity you will be able to maintain that crucial balance.
