There are two types of stress. Okay that this a gross oversimplification, but I believe that it is possible to split stress into external stress and internal stress. I define internal stress as stress that we get through mental causes. For example thinking about all that you need to do in a limited amount of time can cause a lot of stress. Add on self-imposed time constraints and your stress level can skyrocket quickly. I consider this a bad stress, as it doesn’t do anything for us.
