Stress As Motivating Tool

Stress works in a strange way to motivate, like reverse psycology. When under stress and difficult situations, a person feels pressured. This may trigger feelings of under-achieving, which results in a reverse mindset, to strive to achieve. This is almost sub-concious.

The net amount motivation under stress may motivate a person to work harder in order to "compensate" for his feelings. Using alcohol and smoking are not good factors which can help improve stress-related issues which employees may obtain in the workplace. Of course, the effectiveness of using this tool varies on different individual.
