Goals of Stress Management

The goal of stress management is not to eliminate all stress. Life would certainly be dull without both joyful stressors to which we have to adjust and distressors needing a response. Furthermore, stress is often a motivator for peak performance.

Stress can be useful, stimulating, and welcome. Therefore, even if it is possible, we do not want to eliminate all stress from our lives. Our goal should be to limit the harmful effects of stress while maintaining life's quality and vitality. With a great deal of stress, a great deal of illness occurs. However, with only a minute amount of stress, illness could still happen. Thus, there is an optimal amount of stress that is healthy.
