Did you know that stress is important to peak performance? It's true. Not enough stress and you're bored and unmotivated. Too much stress and you can't function. The trick lies in finding just the right balance to stay active and productive without feeling overloaded.
A good amount of stress results in motivation to do your best, motivation to try hard, excitement about a challenge, calling upon resources (such as courage, organization, self-reliance) you didn't know you had, etc.
Stress is necessary for motivating us to perform at our best. But too much stress, or chronic unrelenting stress, can make us feel helpless and unable to concentrate. How can you learn to stay focused under stress?

Albert Ellis, a prominent psychotherapist, developed a way to help people learn to control their emotions rather than feeling controlled by their emotions.

What exactly is stress?
Stress is the body's response to a stressor.
All of us are under stress to some degree. If you do not engage in purposeful stress management activities, ask yourself the following questions:
Why should I manage my stress?
Is stress management really important to me?
What would I rather be doing instead of managing my stress?
Is this alternative activity more important to me that managing my stress?
Can I schedule my life so that I can manage my stress and participate in the alternative activity?
If I do not want to manage my stress now, exactly what would it take to make stress management a priority?
What would I have to give up if I succeeded in lowering my stress level?
What (or who) would I have to confront if I succeeded in lowering my stress level?
When you slack off on purposeful stress management, such as exercising, it is often illuminating to examine the reasons you tell yourself this is happening.
