Is my stress detrimental to my health?

I feel like good stress is an oxymoron, don't you? I mean, stress in general has a negative connotation, no? I think it's imporant that when we feel stressed out, we know how to relax ourselves. I learned some really great relaxation techniques from a good friend of mine that you can read about here.

Good stress can make you feel a little motivated, bad stress is stress that drags on for too long, keeps you awake at night, or just makes you feel, well, stressed :)  If you're starting to wonder if your stress is good or bad, that means it's probably bad.  There are lots of things you can do for

Stress management starts with identifying the sources of stress in your life. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. Your true sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and it’s all too easy to overlook your own stress-inducing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it’s your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress.
