Stress can be positive or negative, depending how you respond to it is a true statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Any stress- positive (eustress) or negative (distress) is completely discerned according to the situation where it raises, depending upon the response to the stress, and how it is coped and managed.
A positive response to a negative stressor will change it to a positive stressor. Positive stressors are constructive and will drive a person to do things in a positive way.
The right approach at the right time is the prime thing in stress management. Proper understanding and perception of the stressing situation, the reasons behind it, developing a positive attitude and mindset to resolve the situation, devising plans and executing them to resolve the situation are the ways to respond to a negative stress and change it to positive stress.
