Is it only bad? Can you optimize for when and how to use it? Dan Shipper asks some good questions. I highly recommend the book \"The Upside of Stress,\" which covers these internal motivation areas by leveraging \"fight or flight\" in our brain. It helps to talk about it with others and see where you stand every few weeks. It helps to feel you're not alone in it, and can lean on others sometimes. So I'd change the question from \"Am I worried?\" to \"Is it working for me?\". Experiment and iterate.
