Eustress Definition

Eustress is when you have a stressful situation and you use it as an opportunity that will have a positive outcome. Eustress is typically short-term, motivating, exciting and improves performance. An example of eustress in my life is taking this psychology course. I need this class a pre-requisite for the BSN program I am applying to in March. It can be stressful meeting deadlines and performing well. When I look at the final outcome it is totally worth it. It is truly rewarding when you set a goal and are able to achieve the goal. When I do my work and received my grades that is an additional reward. Another positive stress in my life is taking the Army Physical Fitness Test. This test can be performed at any time but usually semi-annual
or before you go to any career progression training. No matter how many times I have done it with all positive outcomes I still feel stress every time I am performing. After it is complete I feel rewarded.
