Stress Behaviours And Perception

Producing stress behaviours may elicit a more co-operative response, which may in turn allow that individual to recover from stress much more quickly.

Our mindset about stress can determine its consequences: people who see anxiety as energising tend to perform better in difficult tasks than those who fear the feelings and assume that they are inherently debilitating. A recognition of its social value could just be one more reason to view our discomfort a little more positively.
