Word of the week (as we are knee-deep in NECAPs):

eustress

Eustress is good stress. Stress is simply an external stimulus, eustress is the feeling you get when overcome with the excitement and anticipation of a desired outcome.Eustress was first introduced by Hans Selye MD, an endocrinologist. Eustress is a process of exploring potential gains

The eustress of the moment overcame him with passion as he contemplated the realization of his goals.
