One famous scientist actually identified two types of stress:

一位著名科学家实际上定义了两种类型的压力：

Distress is what we commonly think of when we heard the word stress. It is the negative stress that leads to a range of negative patterns such as demotivation, low energy, deteriorating performance, and anxiety.

我们听到Distress这个词时，我们通常会想到痛苦。负面压力会导致一系列负面模式，例如动力不足、精力不足、表现恶化和焦虑。

demotivation 动力不足

low energy 精力不足

deteriorating performance 表现恶化

anxiety 焦虑

Eustress is the positive stress that leads to a range of positive patterns such as improved motivation, enhanced performance, focused energy, and invigoration.

Eustress 是一种积极的压力，它会导致一系列积极的模式，例如提高动力、提高绩效、集中精力和振奋精神。

improved motivation 提高动力

enhanced performance 提高绩效

focused energy 集中精力

invigoration 振奋精神

Both distress and eustress cause a physical release of common stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline), but the response is very different.

负压和正压都会导致常见压力荷尔蒙（皮质醇、肾上腺素）的物理释放，但反应却大不相同。

Interestingly, the experience of distress or eustress in a situation can be influenced by our own perception of the stressor, context, and situation.

有趣的是，我们对压力源、背景和情境的看法会影响我们对压力源、背景和情境的感知。

For example, if we experience a simple daily stressor, there are two ways we can choose to perceive it:

例如，如果我们遇到一个简单的日常压力源，我们可以选择两种方式来感知它：

We feel overwhelmed by the stressor and worry that we won't be able to overcome it. We wonder why this is happening to us and how we can possibly get past it.

我们感到压力源不知所措，担心我们无法克服它。我们想知道为什么这会发生在我们身上，以及我们如何才能克服它。

We feel energized by the opportunity to beat back this stressor. We know we don't have everything figured out right now, but we are confident in our ability to figure it out and get past it. We choose to view the stressor as an opportunity to excel.

有机会击退这种压力源，我们感到精力充沛。我们知道我们现在还没有解决所有问题，但我们相信我们有能力解决并克服它。我们选择将压力源视为卓越的机会。

The negative perception increases the odds of this stressor causing distress, while the positive perception increases the odds of this stressor causing eustress.

消极的看法增加了这种压力源引起痛苦的几率，而积极的看法增加了这种压力源引起良性压力的几率。
