Eustress is a term coined by endocrinologist Hans Selye, referring to positive stress or a beneficial response to stressors. It is the feeling of excitement, motivation, and fulfillment that occurs when individuals are engaged in tasks or situations that challenge them in a positive way. Eustress can arise from various sources such as achieving goals, starting new projects, or participating in stimulating activities. Unlike distress, which causes negative emotions and anxiety, eustress promotes feelings of satisfaction, personal growth, and improved performance.
