Eustress (YOU-stress)

Your body deals with eustress

Differently than distress.

Even though it goes through

Almost the same reactions.

Your heartrate

Increases,

Your breath becomes

Shallow and quick,

Your pituitary gland makes

Growth and metabolic hormones,

Your vision becomes

More peripheral,

Your blood sugars rise

And muscles activate,

Your body holds onto

More of your water.

But, something inside you

Is still okay. 

Maybe because your hypothalamus 

Kicks in some Oxytocin,

Or maybe something more

spiritual in nature,  

Either way, that stress is good

For YOU now.

Looks like it's time

To get GrOwing.
