Stress is one of those things that you can\u2019t escape, no matter how hard you try, and it can takes a toll on your workday. Despite this, there are (surprisingly) some redeeming factors to stress to be considered.<\/p>\nStress is one of those things that you can\u2019t escape, no matter how hard you try, and it can takes a toll on your workday. Despite this, there are (surprisingly) some redeeming factors to stress to be considered.<\/p>\n
When talking about stress, there\u2019s one important detail that cannot be overlooked: stress created for the sole purpose of being stressed is not a good motivator. Inc<\/em> states that \u201cstress that comes from not having enough information or that\u2019s based on an irrational fear is a poor motivator.\u201d In other words, it\u2019s important to keep stress to a minimum whenever possible, as there\u2019s quite literally no reason to be stressed about everything and everyone around you. You need to retain control if you want to harness the power of stress.<\/p>\n That being said, there are some benefits to be gained from the occasional bout of stress. Here are four of them.<\/p>\n Stress Provides an Energy Boost<\/strong> Stress Proves That You Care About Your Work<\/strong> Stress Can Teach You to Enjoy the Little Things<\/strong>
\nStress is often draining and is known to sap energy from you, but if something urgent comes up, this stress can become a motivating factor that provides energy. With this kind of stress, you\u2019ll become more aware of your surroundings and find that you\u2019ll have the energy needed to get your work done.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019ve been stressed out about a project, you might go through a couple of stages where you initially hate yourself for it. Eventually, you might claim that you just don\u2019t care and that you want it to be over with as soon as possible. However, the stress is a signal that you do actually care about how the project turns out. If you\u2019re stressing about a project, take solace in the understanding that you do actually care.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s something to be said about a hard day\u2019s work. Imagine if you had a job where you had to be exposed to sweltering weather all day, under incredible physical duress on an empty stomach. Now imagine going home after the day\u2019s work to an air-conditioned home with a delicious meal sitting on the dinner table. It\u2019s the little things that make working with stress bearable. If you understand this concept, you\u2019ll have a greater appreciation for the time that you\u2019re not stressed.<\/p>\n
