Yup! That's right! Not all stress is bad. 
Just like we can leverage anger to our advantage we can leverage stress to have a better life and improve our marriage.
First off, you've got to recognize not all stress is the same. When we are growing, we are pushing ourselves, we're putting stress on ourselves. Maybe you saw it when you were trying to do one of the exercises from a Rewire Your Brain episode. You tried it but it was getting hard, making you frustrated and became stressed. That is normal. When we recognize that it's normal and part of growing we can start reducing the stress. (Actually if you've got a growth mindset then you wouldn't even become stressed!)

Sometimes we do get stressed even when we're not trying to specifically. In these situations it's really important not to stress about stressing.
