Would you have successfully gotten some gravy if you hadn’t felt ‘unreasonable’ stress? In hindsight, it’s easier to notice that you stressed yourself more than was strictly needed, but without hindsight, isn’t it better to stress a little more than what seems necessary, and reach your goal, rather than stress the bare minimum and fail because an unexpected hurdle happened?
To make sure I am understanding, are you saying that extra stress gives you an extra “oomph” that helps you achieve your goals? For me, it was the opposite, so marginal stress was harmful for me. Furthermore, my understanding is that this is true for others as well. Extra stress only provides an “oomph” when it is “good stress”, not “bad stress”.

My bad, I thought stress was helping you achieve your goals in your life. I thought it was making you miserable but efficient.
No problem.
