We often see the world as being binary- black or white, good or bad, but the truth is that most things in life exist on a continuum. There are a lot of points in between the extremes of black and white [a lot of shades of gray for example] Stress is no different. Stress exists in our life along a continuum. It’s not so bad to have some stress in your life as long as it’s manageable. In fact, there are many benefits to stress. There are also many benefits to learning how we can manage stress.
