Today, we're going to be talking about how to make stress your friend. We're going to talk about

stress. And I want you to understand that not all stress is created equal. Not all stress is the

same. When you zoom out and look at stress, there's actually three different types of stress.

So there's one that's called U-Stress. There's hypostress and there's hyper-stress.

So we're going to cover all three of them and basically teach how to master the three of these

so that you internally and externally can be a better person. Before we do dive into each one,

let's talk about just stress in general though. Stress is a psychological and physiological

response to things and situations that upset your personal balance

in some sort of way, your internal balance that you have. It takes us out of that calm,

centered balance feeling. And so stress itself is not bad. It's something that is extremely

natural inside of the human body. It's something that

helped keep our species alive. And stress in the mind and in the body is the signal,

basically that something is not right. Something needs to change. It has benefit to it. It wouldn't

exist in us if it didn't have some form of a benefit, but when

stress gets out of control and it becomes chronic stress, then it can start to become a problem.

figure out some sort of way to prepare to respond to a challenge or a threat.
