Some people like to differentiate types of stress, stating that so-called good stress helps energize us to get the job done, meet a challenge, or overcome an obstacle. On the other hand, bad stress causes us pain and misfortune. However, remember that the function of all stress, good or bad, is to help us overcome or escape threat. As far as I am aware, all stress has the same effect on the body. It increases our energy, elevates our heart rate, and pumps the hormones adrenaline and cortisol through our veins.
